I was curious about that, and I don't mean to argue, but it says that now the death numbers of care homes are included, not the number of new cases?
What is see is that the death rate shot up on April 28th so I guess that's due to that new rule concerning death numbers. But I'm not really looking at death rate. I'm more interested in the amount of new cases because that says whether the virus has run its course or not.

My mistake Crystal, I was answering about deaths when in fact you were questioning new cases

I think we see an increase of new cases because more people are now being tested. The government had a target of 100,000 to reach by the end of April which they in fact exceeded by testing over 122,000. This may be why there is a sudden surge in new cases this past week.

Here in the states most main stream media and state governments have failed us. They have failed to educate the populace about this virus, how to control the spread, and how to protect themselves. They have made proclamations in an attempt to slow the spread without educating the why. Now after 6+ weeks we are seeing more protests and blatant refusal to follow their mandates. We are even seeing more violence because of trying to enforce some level of social distancing. A security officer at a store was shot and killed for refusing to let some woman and her kid in the store without face coverings in Detroit. It is starting to look like a total failure in parts of the country and our only recourse is self protection from the virus. Maybe when the virus deaths get up over 500,000 here, people will start to wake up!!! HOW I HATE STUPID PEOPLE!!!!

The coronavirus pandemic is affecting physical health as well as mental health. Suicide rates in some areas such as Queens have risen since mid-March compared to 2019. An article in the Journal of the American Medical Association this month cited a number of troubling factors caused by the health crisis: Economic stress, social isolation, lack of access to mental health care and the closure of churches and community centers.

More people died from suicide than the coronavirus in a single Tennessee county in a one week period, Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs said. "Last year, our medical examiner performed autopsies for 199 confirmed or suspected suicides from across the region, with 83 of those coming from Knox County. Over the past 48 hours, that office has now examined nine suspected suicides, eight of which are from Knox County alone. For Knox County, that’s almost 10 percent of last year’s total number in the past two days alone,” Jacobs said in a March daily briefing. "Thus far, our reaction to COVID-19 has been to sacrifice the global economy,” said Jacobs. “The truth is: a sick economy produces sick people.”

Here are the latest updated totals from around the world, according to researchers from Johns Hopkins University:

Total confirmed cases: 3,598,324

Total deaths: 251,832

Pharmaceutical company Pfizer announced Tuesday that the first U.S. participants of a clinical trial of a COVID-19 vaccine have received doses. Pfizer is conducting the research alongside German drugmaker BioNTech and testing of another group of individuals was completed in Germany last week. Pfizer said it is looking to enroll up to 360 individuals into two age groups (18-55 and 65-85). The first stage will include individuals from ages 18-55 before moving onto the older age group. The two companies are conducting a development program that includes four vaccine candidates, while looking to "determine the safety, immunogenicity and optimal dose level of each."

“With our unique and robust clinical study program underway, starting in Europe and now the U.S., we look forward to advancing quickly and collaboratively with our partners at BioNTech and regulatory authorities to bring a safe and efficacious vaccine to the patients who need it most. The short, less than four-month timeframe in which we’ve been able to move from pre-clinical studies to human testing is extraordinary and further demonstrates our commitment to dedicating our best-in-class resources, from the lab to manufacturing and beyond, in the battle against COVID-19,” Pfizer Chairman and CEO Albert Bourla, said in a statement.

Couple of things :
Our figures are for everyone who has died that has covid 19 mentioned on their death certificate.

Why are the riots in France not being shown on UK media?

I saw it on rt

Brexit is the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.
Brexit was an action not a place.

The withdrawal agreement was ratified by the UK on 23 January and by the EU on 30 January; it came into force on 31 January 2020.
Brexit is no longer happening, its over.

The statement "Same all the way through brexit" means it was happening, but no longer is, as of 31 January 2020.

I'm confused how this applies to the current discussion about NEWS censorship in the UK/EU. I was under the impression UK/EU NEWS censorship has been hapening a very long time and is still happening.

Tom. I'm referring to the reporting. The media namely the BBC was very biased to remaining in Europe so wouldn't want to paint a bad picture.

They are doing the same thing with this making out everything is fine over there and we are in pieces.

Imo

London is the second most populated city in the world behind New York.

London has the most people in normal times travelling in and out.

It's all relevant.

Maybe we should have locked down earlier?
But after it's over there will be plenty of maybe's.

So easy after an event.

Like driving home and having an accident. If only I'd of gone the other way, if only I'd of left 1 minute later or earlier.
