Bolsonaro giving Trump a run for his money as a complete headcase.

Sadly our deputy ambassador here is reported to have died. He was a nice guy who joked Hungary was a safe change from his previous appointment in Afghanistan. Only 37. Takes a different turn when you can put a face to one of the casualties.

sorry is that just while they're at home this week or normally what they would get? Either way still appalling

Mail will blame Meghan

Give over the women in the Pink Parrot were rougher than the bouncers :)

Time for sports direct to be slaughtered. Many products that could be used indoors have been hiked by up to 50% online!! Are there any worse companies with a track record for dubious behaviour?

Classy new twist. We've now got scammers calling up old people here from Belgian numbers claiming to be from Brussels/EU getting them to hand over details in order to receive "special" EU financial support.

Hadn't realized how shocking the Spanish numbers in terms of health workers affected - around 5400 out of the near 40,000 cases

Hope so to. I'm going to be well pissed off if my jet isn't delivered on time :)

going to add to my original answer. There's a mixture of shock/outrage/disbelief etc. as pictures of people "hijacking" supermarket times earmarked for NHS & elderly are shown on mainstream & social media here today. Also the crowding is viewed with incredulity.

mortality rate. swine flu 0.02% vs expected coronavirus 1%. Swine flu lasted around 18 months. If same approach as there was with Swine flu then you don't even want to contemplate the number of deaths over 18 months. Hopefully point is Govts have learned something from Swine Flu and that is why...

Same here. One hospital doing all the tests in Budapest. Cramped room, no masks or sanitizer, pens not disinfected after use

Said before we've got a "healthy" 13 year old in hospital here. Again not much reported but 40% of US hospitalised patients last week were 20-54 years old.

Russia raises issues. They have had a large spike in what they are calling pneumonia deaths. Until very recently they had only one lab in Siberia carrying out tests. Govt control of information and media makes it difficult to accept numbers. They are ramping up containment measures and...

The option is unpalatable in most circumstances. But I don't see him offering alternatives apart from doing nothing and see what happens. If people were universally following guidelines then the measures wouldn't be necessary. But obviously they're not. It's not as if other countries are trying...
