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.

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...

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 :)

One sector of the Hungarian economy "booming" - sales of firearms, crossbows etc. up 500%. Cheerful thought as one of the largest consumers of alcohol in EU as well.

It's starting to feel a bit obscene avidly watching these numbers - it's like a perverse opposite of watching a lotto draw or the football results. That for each death there's a large multiply of family and friends who have lost someone special to them

So no surprise Gove takes over the briefing role considering his history with Cummings

all rebranded as Trump franchises as his family pick them up on the cheap

Cummings looks like he's just robbed the place with that bag under his arm, Get his comeuppance when he completes his escape on an over-crowded tube train though!!

technically classed as a temporary "civil servant" and paid by central govt. Each Govt minister (and shadow minister) can appoint their own special advisers. Again all paid by central govt. That's why Javid quit when Cummings tried to sack his personal advisers.
