Calling it striking anti Australian rhetoric is a huge exaggeration. Does Australia even allow Chinese in at the moment? I think you're playing with words here. I think one country telling its citizens that they should not visit a country them commonly visit because they'll likely be victim of a racist attack is striking rhetoric. If you don't, that's up to you. Certainly, if you add to everything else China is involved with just now, we've got a bizarre pattern of behaviour. They're picking a lot of fights.

The Moonster Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 3 minutes ago, Distant Doonhamer said: Boris is a psychopath. See definition below. Psychopathy is traditionally a personality disorder characterized by persistent antisocial behavior, impaired empathy and remorse, and bold, disinhibited, and egotistical traits. It is sometimes considered synonymous with sociopathy. I actually done this with my mate the other day - here is the Psychopath test: • glib and superficial charm • grandiose (exaggeratedly high) estimation of self • need for stimulation • pathological lying • cunning and manipulativeness • lack of remorse or guilt • shallow affect (superficial emotional responsiveness) • callousness and lack of empathy • parasitic lifestyle • poor behavioral controls • sexual promiscuity • early behavior problems • lack of realistic long-term goals • impulsivity • irresponsibility • failure to accept responsibility for own actions • many short-term marital relationships • juvenile delinquency • revocation of conditional release • criminal versatility Scoring system is 0, 1 or 2 points based on how severe each item is for that person. Anyone scoring over 30 would be considered for psychopathic treatment. I don't know about you but when I go through that list and apply each one to Johnson I find myself nodding and saying "yip" to just about all of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason why China is throwing its weight around in the region is because they reckon that the Dayglo clown in the White House has got enough on his plate to deal with to stop them, it's a blatantly obvious power play. Ill-informed once more. Just a couple of weeks ago our American keepers sent a couple of boats to ward the Chinese off. They've been telt. They're not seriously going to attack anybody. Everyone knows that. That's precisely the point. They're just doing this for news at home. I enjoy your staggeringly out of touch views on Asian geopolitics and culture. Keep them coming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 7 new deaths in Scotland. How does that compare to previous Tuesdays? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) Today's figures continue an encouraging trend. +14 infections brings the 7 day average to 26, and with 82 last wednesday and thursday combined this could drop considerably by the end of the week. +7 deaths, whilst obviously shite for those impacted, is encouraging due to this being the first day after the weekend lag. 7 day average here is now 6.7 I read a stat last night that 7 day average ICU admissions were less than 1 by the week ending 31st May. This will be updated tomorrow for the week ending 7th June but it is a good indicator of the severity of the Covid cases that have been coming in to our hospitals.

renton Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Interesting that McGregor in talking about being able to seperate the genetic lineage of the virus, and it's different mutations. Apparently 112 different lineages in Scotland, and evidence to suggest we had it even before the first cases became apparent in March. The vast majority of lineages are associated with Europe rather than the Far East. Noted also that he particularly mentioned the lineage associated with the Nike conference and that lineage's absence after late March, implying that the contact-test team was successful in locking down that source at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's common knowledge that death reporting is lagged. I wonder if the same applies to positive tests.

Honest Saints Fan Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Who are these angry shielding people journalists speak to? No one is making shielded people stay at home. It is a personal choice.
