Dave B. Why don’t you write in proper paragraphs? The formatting of your posts makes them difficult to read.
Below you will find regular, but not daily, updates on medical and political developments.
You’ve just copied and pasted all this from that “Swiss Propaganda Research” place. You should have really mentioned this.
The first known case of Covid 19 in Scotland was on 1st March, that’s not five weeks not five months.
Maybe that’s what all this phoney shit is leading to.
What’s phoney about it? Do you think all the people in the hospitals, morgues and mass graves are “crisis actors”?
Disregard the last message, I worked out how to unsubscribe from the emails. There’s a subscribe / unsubscribe option on the front page of every sub-forum..
Britain wants compensation from China. Fat chance of that happening
Well, some “think tank” has written a report saying that. Probably some things are not worth giving the oxygen.
Did we out-do China in building a new hospital?
I’m surprised at an SPGB’r using the nationalist ‘we’. But anyhow, no – the structure was already built they just bought the equipment in. .
If anyone else was intrigued by that Sucharit Bhakdi video, I’ve found an interesting critique. It’s in German but the Google translate version is readable.

Seems it wasn’t so accurate after all, he is using figures that are far to low. We really should be wary of anything pushed the conspiracy and anti-vax industry right now…
Looks like another post I made has been stuck in pending. Whatever spam protection you’re using it’s no good..
As far as I understand it I think the thing with asymptomatic carriers of the virus is that they could be spreading the virus around without realising it. It’s another factor that contributes towards complicating how hard it is to know how many people may have already had the virus, which would be needed to be known in order to work out the seriousness of it all.
You need to make ReCaptcha apply to new forum registrations, and on the comment form. Otherwise it won’t do anything.
I think Dave B is making a fool of himself and over-egging it a bit and pushing dodgy sources. A hoax is something that is *totally* false and deliberately engineered. And what on earth is this “Swiss Propaganda Research” place he keeps pushing?
Of course, it is interesting to hear critical voices with backgrounds in epidemiology, the video from Professor Sucharit Bhakdi was interesting – I’m not sure fully what to make of it yet. But for now, I think the sensible thing is to maintain social distancing.
Here’s an article debunking the headline that 50% of the UK population may have already had covid19: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/coronavirus-infections-oxford-study-immunity
I have been doing some online courses about the virus:
https://www.coursera.org/learn/covid-19/
https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/covid19-novel-coronavirus
Coronavirus are a group of viruses, given the name because of the shape (‘corona’ means crown). There is no such thing as “the” coronavirus, the word refers to a group.
“But CO2 emissions are really just a proxy for industrial development.”
That’s not really the case though is it? Maybe when fossil fuels were the only viable option, but not now. For example, China’s move away from fossil fuels and towards renewables doesn’t represent an industrial regression.
This article is just twaddle from a bunch of climate change deniers, why give them the oxygen?
