It's just been reported that Spain haven't been including any care home deaths and there is a possibility that their tally will double. so 50% of COVID-19 deaths occurring in care homes in Spain The most recent figures from the Office for National Statistics are for the week ending 3 April.

I bought a cheapo wahl, was a £20 amazon special, around 5 years ago. It has worked perfectly for me and must have saved me a small fortune in money and lots of time as I haven't been to barbershop since. Cutting your own hair is also easy as piss.

You can see why 70% of Americans think Saddam Husain was (partly) behind 911. It’s being pushed by Fox News and some people in Trumps Administration.

Was the Wuhan Virology Institute also working on coronaviruses that infect pangolins? Maybe they were . What we do know is that there is strong molecular evidence that shows that SARS-Cov2 has more in common with the virus that infects pangolins in the region that is directly responsible for infect...

Liar, they stopped all flights and trains leaving Wuhan on the same day. They did this by closing train stations and airports. More Chinese travel internally by train than by plane so the former is a bigger problem for them. All flights to and from Wuhan were stopped on the 23rd Jan ? If what I wro...

USA only records a death as being COVID if the victim had previously tested positive.

It also seems a very Euro-centric disease unless there are countries where the info is either getting out or reliable that have been hit very hard. (China, Iran spring to mind.)

Let's go one by one with this nonsense: When there was no evidence of human to human transmission, that's what they said.

Good for Trump. WHO and a whole lot of international organizations are so compromised they need to be basically started over from scratch. That view is part of the problem. It’s just a continuation of a trend. The US is becoming increasingly isolationist, withdrawing not only from the WHO, but many...

Pangolins have not been confirmed as the intermediate host, there is actually still a big question mark over how the virus jumped from bats to humans.

At least you're consistent in shilling Chinese propaganda, although the thought of having any shame after posting things like this is apparently beyond you. :lol: sadly i was wrong, but that has nothing to do with the origin of the virus and its intermediate host.

Seems to be more speculation than evidence. The dominant scientific opinion is that pangolins were the intermediate hosts which makes the out of lab theory less likely.

Well, yes, I’m saying it probably didn’t jump host in the wet market, based on various scientific reports. Anyway, the closest phylogenetic relationship is with BatCoV RaTG13, actually significantly closer compared to the closest coronavirus found in pangolins. Yet, almost certainly humans did not g...
