Coronavirus: Anger is growing at China over COVID-19 and its apparent cover-up attempt

The caveat to that is if it does turn out China has been misleading the world over its fatalities then there will be a limited backlash. Many countries based their strategies on data China provided - if that data was falsified then some countries will find it hard to convince people to trade...

Of course they can do what they want. Ask the Uighurs. No-one has batted an eyelid. People keep making them richer by buying products made in working conditions that would be illegal and scandalous in the EU etc. But let's point at nearly every govt in the world not just the UK one when it...

7 days if you live on your own, 14 days if someone else in the house.

More used to it for sure. It's only 30 years since Communism went so many spent some of their lives under that type of regime. also police maybe better behaved now than when i first was spending time in Eastern Europe but don't have the same restraint as UK police (or rather less oversight and...

Poland's new rules - so guessing we here in Hungary aren't too far from this (similar govts). can't imagine how the UK police would enforce the one about youths New Corornavirus Restrictions & Residence Permit issues - 31.03 Prime Minister Morawiecki has announced new and stricter rules...

all sorts of conflicting reports. our media here quotes Govt sources as saying those with underlying conditions in Germany are having that recorded as their cause of death. And those with pre-existing conditions aren't being post mortemed to see if they had the virus. But this is the Hungarian...

Seasonal flu isn't classed as a lethal pandemic due to the low mortality rate apparently. Obviously atm there is plenty of seasonal flu about as the large majority of tested cases aren't coronavirus but "normal" colds and flu. One difference atm is that "ordinary" flu is mainly seasonal so...

Not sure whether it is naughty or lazy journalism.

He's a Nationalist more along the lines of Putin and Erdogan. Doesn't like any foreigners being here much especially those of a non-Christian background. His policies revolve around Hungary rather than the individual. Couldn't give a toss about EU ideals etc just wants the cash. Plays to a...

Oops turned into a rant:)

His supporters would follow him like lemmings over a cliff. He's basically controlled all the mainstream media since he won his 1st election (which gave him a big enough majority to change the constitution). Nearly all independent papers and radio stations had their licences removed or...

People's lives being turned upside down and this thread turns into how people should spend the money they earn.

just another scammer praying on the guilible and stupid. But a good "business" as his net worth put around 760 million dollars.

just another delusional dictator.

done. would be interested also to see the final results

Same here. Black economy estimated at around 15% of GDP (although this is a big reduction after govt crackdown). But figure much higher amongst self employed. We've had 4 burglaries in ours and neighbouring streets this past week. Just cash and cards, all whilst people are sleeping. That's why...

Spoke to my mother yesterday - she's a bookkeeper for several companies and self employed people. She said the paperwork for claiming some of the govt help may not be available until June 1st and then (even if HMRC are at full capacity) going to take a while to process everything.

Way it is staggered globally going to be some effects at least 6 months assuming no 2nd waves etc.

got to protect your toilet rolls somehow :)
