I'll remember this one next time I'll think about it. Who knows maybe you're just on the spot? For now, their military staff are already bringing us the vaccine! : D Xiaomi comes next with my 5G mobile phone ; ) Don't tell Trump though or they will follow Huawei and I still want my 8K footage! LOL ; -)

You didn't follow my edit up there. Take a look again, it was edited before you posted this one. I can be an idiot in the keyboard of Super8 before he had learned a bit more of me, but I am not stupid, you will never get me there! LOL ; ) Faith is a very personal journey (E : -)

That's nothing but stupidity. The guy is free for that show anyway : ) If he'd be my culture I'd say exactly the same :- D

I am a believer and science lover as well. Faith and science can match. The point is the truth is always hidden, not the way we imagine in our wildest dreams. The same way a movie character works. There's some truth behind and beyond in a way or another. Need to find. This doesn't mean atheism is made of a different kind of a most strict religious viewpoint. No less dogmatic, the achilles' heel. Just some other form of belief. Not really distinct.

LOL only you, David, to make me laugh in the middle of such tragedy : -)

I can only hope so. But the situation in Italy is devastating. In Portugal, there are no ventilators to everyone. I am ashamed for the politicians we have. I can't accept that. We demand the best pros and not the best politicians? What the hell! When we really need them? That's why I like this doctor, he is a competent one in his field. That's what I expect and demand from them. From everyone. Comply your responsibilities. Let's hope this will work as soon as possible: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8121567/Coronavirus-vaccine-developed-Chinas-military-bio-warfare-expert-begins-clinical-trial.html https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1182923.shtml

I fully agree, it's a shame! Human kind is absolutely disorganized. This is almost a collective suicide. Not complete, because a good part of us will survive to tell the story. Hope we'll learn the lesson.

This Doctor is one of the guys Portuguese media have chosen to tell people the truth about. He is devastating towards the authorities. He blames them without fear. I found him very lucid and I am proud of his roots. As said, he works 20kms away (we're used to say here: same oven) where Bush family has their roots (there are other American personalities, as well) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afonso_I_of_Portugal

No, I really do appreciate the link you've posted. I suggest to everyone to listen. I just find her interesting but more vague than she should IMO. I had to edit it because I had to struggle with my automatic correction of the device I use to write to you when deleted a few words in the middle of the process. Maybe I am used to listen some other experts in the field with other background. Take a look to this doctor to treat patients in the hospital of my birthtown. It is in Portuguese but with subs tool you can listen his opinion. I fully subscribe him. He's not talking to a theatre audience. He's not a show man. He's a professional treating patients for real. We Portuguese of north of Portugal are kind but tough people, you know? We're used to say the truth to everyone whether it is pleasant or not. Just for reference, did you know the founder of our nationality (the king Afonso I) is Bush family's direct ancestor?

I did, hence my comment. Interesting but too little IMHO. I am a liberal as far economics relates. But I do appreciate proactive measures to take place in politics. I'm sorry my lack of modesty but nothing of this tragedy would be happening if I was the man in charge. At least, in Europe. They are all responsible for these deaths. They simply have no guts. Weak leaders. Without vision. I am a proud one. I apologize for my non humble tone now but I am very disappointed with the leadership we have. Their mission was/is now. I really admire the Chinese : -)

To wash our hands is too little anyway, must be proactive there. Panic doesn't help, respect to prevent the risk does. Masks the same. + control the infection spots with effective public health policies connected with the movement of people into uninfected regions. Politics job. We vote on them for something, isn't it? Not only to charge the taxes. Healthcare staff also need masks to do their work. Should be for everyone. Public health cannot be exclusive but as universal as life is.

And they're worried with the future. Reason why we stopped everything for that matter. Financial markets are giving excellent open gates anyway. Bonds, FOREX, as for instance. Central banks rates also low today help to make it happen. Good opportunity to invest. From home, online. Used gear purchases too, as the one you've just opened some hours ago.

Before my three academic degrees and two postgraduation programs completed (I am going on my third one now) in two different major fields to also comprehend politics and economics as well, I was used to study American society since I have memory of myself. Avid reader here, no less viewer and observer. Let alone my own experience and contact with. Something a few Americans don't know is the fact the Republican party was used to be the progressist political party and Democrats were the most conservative wing of North America. U.S.A. was not born in the second half of XX century, not even in the previous one ; ) In any case, Trump is not even a good rep of them. Neither the idea of America, its values and principles. Take a look in someone who said Obama was is President but not Trump (example already referred a few posts back): John McCain. Not as producer. We're used to call it forfait, a flat rate. The remainder. Basically, from sales. The last link of the chain to be paid, not from crowdfunding campaigns but copyright or contracts signed between parties to produce the pieces of work to comprehend exploitation too. VOD, most part today.

Because of Trump or worldwide/American economy? ; -)

We've just canceled one yesterday and I am in this business of crowdfunding since 2013 with all my projects 100% funded. Hope this helps, E : -)

I know, let's hope this mutation may occur because I heard a specialist to say people can be infected with this virus twice... to follow a cure. Scaring : (

Sorry to ask Glenn @mercer, don't answer as you wish, but in the tone we both of us are used to address to each other in public... are you a Trump supporter? Did you vote on him to President of your country? I am wondering because I'd say his ideas don't represent America nor your view of life. Disclaimer: nothing about abortion, Jesus Christ or left vs right wings. I am not even a leftist : -)

Heated discussion. I think the problem of the conservative America is not to have now John McCain as President. You failed to choose your rep, definitely. Just for the record, I've always appreciated Obama but that was unfair. As second note on his course of life, the man didn't even let Trump attending his funeral ceremonies and he had already passed away... A great American hero, by the way, I really miss him < 3

I obviously paid attention to. Again, please don't tend to be condescending with the other side here. We have a strong and healthy community. Yeah, I am not Andrew but I know each other enough almost for a decade now to not mind he reads that I do believe he concurs, because I am sure I know what he thinks on topic and wants to his home we all share. People help each other complementing information as I did now with you. It's not important you had addressed it to someone else or not. It's the way we're used to do here in Andrew's home. Let's avoid the confrontational tone as much as possible.

People surely have freedom of speech. My cup of tea since ever : ) Please try to not distort my input for the sake of mutual understanding at least. You see the things much different of me, man, I am not even the political motivated individual type. Politics makes part of the world more than myself. Don't think I don't care about you. I can feel myself unfairly harassed by you and I still wish you sincerely all the best. If it would depend on me, you'll have the same happiness I hope for me. I am not indifferent to your luck, I am sorry you don't feel it or believe, I see. I refuse to exclude anyone. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ Posted by me before, no idea if you've noticed it anyway.

Good news to people with immunization trouble, only asthmatics may have a special concern: (in Spanish) https://www.seaic.org/inicio/sala-de-prensa/enfermedades-alergicas-y-covid-19.html Very likely. Well, no islands in this world anymore.

We wish. I've heard a specialist say there's no way to reach immunity because it's a mutant there. Let's hope things will become different than the worst scenarios in the end though.

People only have eyes and ears to COVID-19 these days, I'm afraid. Thanks to be a breeze, Danilo : ) Keep safe at home. Hope you all in Naples are OK : -)

People in the world dying and there is who is interested in a pissing contest with strangers to keep insulting on internet. There are no borders, the issue crosses them. The fictional maps didn't protect anyone of international crisis before, with or without "national" media coverage, go figure today. Bubble burst. No need media or whoever to distort fact-based content. Facts remain facts.

These politicians were not ready to be proactive as Macau did when the virus was still confined to China and act quick with such threat to spread so fast as this novel (corona)virus does. If Europe won't have an effective decision chain as U.S. has as for instance, we risk to be drown by the increasing nationalism, a setback for our civilization... https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/14/health/coronavirus-covid-19-flu-comparison-frieden-analysis/index.html The strategy of Boris instead is to create Herd Immunity which will cost many lives no matter what: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/13/herd-immunity-will-the-uks-coronavirus-strategy-work https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/03/coronavirus-pandemic-herd-immunity-uk-boris-johnson/608065/ Seems this is an option on their table. Is this acceptable? : ( This is the level of politicians we have, reason why most of us don't like species of this kind. Call it political motivation as you wish, I'd rather accurately identify it as respect for human life. Here's as mantra and reminder:
