Germany is ticking along with 4x the cases but a fatality rate per case apparently a quarter of the UK's. Is it because of a better funded health service

I'd be very wary of jumping to any conclusions on such tiny numbers; we are talking about 21 confirmed UK deaths out of a population of around 66 million.

Yesterday's Telegraph had figures for number of ICUs per capita per country. The UK was at the bottom of the table. Germany has 3 times as many ICUs as the UK per capita. Gradually the reason why they've a quarter of the mortality per detected Coronavirus case may be getting clearer. Though the figures will need to be cooly analysed by statisticians in the aftermath.

Interesting and depressing analysis of how Johnson “led by the science” and the 24 hour news cycle has caused him issues.

Note that you passed no observation on Macron not cancelling the French polls. 

Macron in a very severe and stern public broadcast has announced as I write this (amongst many other things) the second stage of voting has been postponed.
He has just said “we are at war against a virus”

We all know how much the French people obey authority.

This has no comparisons with the great depression at all, what are you talking about.. If the virus disappeared today the markets would regain their previous highs by tomorrow

Things are speeding up 

so much news from around the world

normally most of the businesses in he world all collapsing would be the main story but it’s way down the list

Why do you always come across as excited when you post this kind of stuff?

To be fair if any of AG47's fantasies were actually going to happen they would be quite exciting. In reality coronavirus is just a grind. Can't go to the pub, can't get supermarket deliveries, when the weekend finally arrives all the events have been cancelled, no sport on TV. And of course your elderly relatives might die. You can see why people indulge in Mad Max fantasies.

To be clear I’m not a doom monger, I’m not predicting mad max here

im predicting an end to the temporary new monetary system the world went on to in 1971

this is a good thing. This is great it’s just a shame it took this horrible pandemic to bring it about


what will be the next new international monetary system? I don’t know, but there has been a new international monetary system every 30-40 years for last few hundred years so this is nothing unexpected for the educated

Nope I sold my last bitcoin above $10k so am very happy 😃 

im never touching crypto ever again I think it’s all over during this next crash


the silver market is so interesting now that the paper and real markets are diverging 

you can buy a paper promise of silver which nobody trusts for £10 per ounce but the price of real silver is booming and still demand is way more than supply with long waiting lists

the silver mines are going out of business because of the extreme price manipulation and yet investors demand is through the roof but no billion dealers can get any silver bullion whatsoever 

thise who bought physical silver bullion before the supplies ran out are sitting pretty just sit back and watch the chaos😁

silver bullion is the best way to protect right through to the other side of this thing when that may be

Does anyone think people are viewing houses with a view to buy at the moment.
Does anyone have real life experience first hand or second?

To have only made a 50% loss?

And you still haven't seen the problem with trying to get rich quick by buying stuff because people on YouTube told you to buy it beacuse one day everyone will listen to them?
