Jacksgranda Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Just now, Granny Danger said: That report says 7 hours old, but the BBC website ran an almost identical piece 3 or 4 weeks back. Pretty bad they’re recycling stories when there’s so much more to cover. Never noticed it the last time. Plenty of bandwidth, though... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Calder Lion Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Security guard in Michigan shot dead for enforcing that state's mandated wearing of face masks in shops.

If that's negative Bob's your uncle". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Device Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) Seems that the difference in excess deaths would point to different areas requiring different easing of lockdown strategies. Sturgeon seems to be erring on the cautious side even though we are not as badly hit as England. Here's the source of this random tweeter's info. https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/# Edited May 5, 2020 by Suspect Device 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heedthebaa Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 7 hours ago, The OP said: Misinformation and bad science being spread around social media is a major issue in the modern world and P&B has a higher readership than most facebook pages and twitter accounts. What you say about a substitution or a corner matters f**k all. Constant misinformation downplaying a pandemic could lead some people to treat the best scientific advice we have with more disdain This is very true, I nearly died.

Will be interesting to see how today's briefing goes. The UK one yesterday felt fairly upbeat - I think it's time we got something with a similar feel to it.
