I'm an Engineer, but I certainly understand economics as well as the finance glitterati who missed the 2008 crash. Basically, these media folk believe that they have a better ‘handle’ on events than everyone else... all too happy to appear as experts in a field that is completely alien to them. My ...

What are your thoughts on why he believes we are seeing 50%/3000 deaths more not attributed to C-19 than would normally have been during this period. I think we all understand many deaths attributed to C-19 would have occurred in the 12 month period for 2020 and we have discussed needing to see the...

I thought I was beginning to understand it a little but when I looked at this, am back to the, what, really 'Never been as shocked' But what is not clear is what else is contributing to this spike in deaths - the coronavirus cases contributed just over half of the "extra" 6,000 deaths. It could be ...

Not sure that is relevant, as any agreements would be null and void.

Just wondering what thoughts are with regard securing financial recompense from China for each affected nation (which, I guess, will be every nation). Are we likely to ‘man up’ and push for this?
