Whoever they choose, the sad part is that he/she only has to be marginally better than Trump.
Doesn't matter about policy, doesn't matter about personal history...just make better sounds than orange buffoon.

Up to 80 per cent of people who test positive for coronavirus don't show any symptoms, a new study of the pandemic in England suggests. Ok, here's a question for the medical/science bordies.

The WAPO data base records 9 unarmed black people killed in 2019 out of a population of 40m. That's 0.000023% of the population. That's quite a small genocidal epidemic. A black person had more chance of dying with creutzfeldt-jakob disease than randomly getting shot to death by a cop. You know thi...

Nipper just hates his own people so much he cant help himself. He's constantly apologizing for the actions/thoughts/mentality/attitude of his countrymen.

This has probably been discussed somewhere else and I am definitely no expert on either medicine, statistics or virology, but this Diamond Princess case is very interesting, IMO.

I've watched a youtube clip by a British medical practioner (old chap) who is of the opinion, apparently after intensive study of all the figures and available models, that a minimum of 50% of the global population is just not susceptible to the virus. He ventures the figure is probably closer to 80...

First of all, I've read a bit of this case around the time it happened, but I never got immersed in it.
In less than three short paragraphs, can someone give a short summary of all the possibilities and which one is the most plausible.
Thanks in advance.

Regarding both World Wars, I always thought the Germans started it through whatever nefarious reasons.
Reading this thread I am now of the opinion that the British, in some way or the other, drove them to start both of those wars. Obviously more research is called for.
