Hey, maybe you are. Why you would want to hide behind the persona of someone who doesn't understand basic words?coopster_the_1st said:
I agree this could have been in the Labour thread but the point still stands of the hypocrisy of the Labour party but they then endorse the Trump approach to C19.kingstongraham said:I'm sure you aren't really that hard of understanding, so I don't know why you would pretend to be so.

Given there's no world without covid and therefore its impossible to know its effect on GDP my sincerely held belief is that you can't simply put any loss in GDP down to covid and therefore its all censored.
Or something like that.

am I the only one to ponder why the USA bucks the strong correlation between deaths and economic woes or are those countries carefully chosen?elbowloh said:
That's your interpretation. Just because they are saying the Tories have let us down doesn't mean that they endorse Trump. They're just saying compared to everyone else in the developed nations, we're done particularly badly.coopster_the_1st said:
I'm quoting the Labour Party endorsing the Trump approach. (I've endorse the Sweden approach which is left graph at -3.4%)elbowloh said:
Because GDP is the one true measure of how you handle a pandemic.coopster_the_1st said:Labour are promoting that Donald Trump handled C19 the best out of the major nations
Number of cases and deaths is unimportant...
It is a strange irony that it has been Labour that have always called for more and harder restrictions thus causing more damage to the economy.
Why haven't you said they endorse the Japanese, Germans or Canadians.0 -

It is interesting. The USA did have an almighty stimulus package early on, and got hit across the country at different times, without the countrywide restrictions the other countries had. Also some pretty big companies that have done well out of the pandemic.0 -
It's been very inward looking over the past 4 years, which possibly sets it up well for a crisis which puts lots of strain on cross border travel?surrey_commuter said:

They also look to have completely prioritised the economy, rather than poorly play a balence.0 -
Maybe the cost of funerals is so high that it's propping up the economy...surrey_commuter said:

I've read some things suggesting that the type of stimulus the US did was more effective than the European social security model.kingstongraham said:

Interestingly the ultimate end point of the USA policy seems about the same as everyone else's? Or do I need to zoom in further...0

Pretty close to the rest of the G7 basket cases. It's how they had the persistence to fall behind, but keep at it until they got there that is impressive.shirley_basso said:Interestingly the ultimate end point of the USA policy seems about the same as everyone else's?

They've largely ignored coronavirus and stuck with the economy as the priority. This has worked to a degree (no worse on death than UK, France, Spain, Italy) thanks to the lower population density. But with so much in its favour they could, and should, have done much better.shirley_basso said:Interestingly the ultimate end point of the USA policy seems about the same as everyone else's?

especially when the general consensus is that Trump is an uncaring mad man yet he his record on deaths is no worse and his economic performance is top of class.shirley_basso said:Interestingly the ultimate end point of the USA policy seems about the same as everyone else's?

It does baffle me how the general British perception is that Boris has done well in impossible circumstances yet Trump is a maniac with an out of control death count.0 -
This is what it seems to be showing to me as well. I am almost certainly missing something.surrey_commuter said:

As for Trump, it seems to be more of a case that it's remarkable that the US has done well in spite of Trump's actions. don't forget, its the individual states that are responsible for the lockdowns, not Trump.0 -
Trump's mate Giuliani has coped a dose of the phantom virus.
If somebody has to get it, I can think of nobody more deserving.

Giuliani has finally tested positive for covid. Of all the people who it seemed unbelievable it hadn't happened yet, only pence left.0

What about injecting bleach? Can they now test it on the ex mayor?0

Be careful about suggesting that. People got very upset when I suggested Coopster do that.tangled_metal said:What about injecting bleach? Can they now test it on the ex mayor?

Coops is a character name only, I doubt he has feelings only a computer to type his pile of disinformation until his shift ends. Or am I wrong in my suspicions?0

You can say what you like about Giuliani. People like trump and will stick up for him. Does anyone really like Giuliani enough to do that?0

People don't like a hypocrite and this was the real reason for the outrage. Nobody was really that upset for Coopster.rick_chasey said:
