K38 Germany has more cases because they have tested more people! You may want to look at the German mortality rate....

Catherine Calderwood SNP's chief medical officer for Scotland flauting UK lockdown restrictions on travel to visit her country residence in the most critical period. I note the residents of Fife returned an SNP candidate last time round, perhaps all SNP government employees & voters have holiday homes? No doubt mortgages all paid by Barnett.

Dear Boris,You tell us how many people die with the Coronavirus each day.Please tell us how many die of all causes each day.We will compare this with the average number of deaths that day in previous years. Then the public can see how many extra deaths are being caused by the Coronavirus.We already have the daily figures for deaths in 2018, and the average daily figures for the last five years. We also call on the Government immediately to publish the total number of UK deaths every day in 2020.

jacko - an interesting post. I am half in the garden so please excuse a shortish reply. My views are all pre-virus - I don't know what that could do.

- I do believe that trading blocks are essential; domestic markets are just too small perhaps with the exception of US and China.
- Switzerland could not function without 'foreigners'. (From memory around 25% of the population are foreign PLUS over 300,000 coming across the borders each day).
- areas are run on an increasingly regional basis - borders are ignored.
- Switzerland has a large commercial base (engineering, chemicals, pharma etc plus foodstuffs like Nestle. Mega companies).
- Switzerland is the base for many multinationals.
- there is an increasing realisation of the above. The Swiss are not emotional when it comes to important votes. Would they risk Schengen for the above benefits - probably not.

So, as of pre-virus - No.

Diku it doesn't work like that... we pay licence. They have to behave and be independent when comes to the politics... or they can go private!!

OBSERVATIONSYes, it's true. Far more EU nationals wanted to become citizens of the soon-to-be-non-EU United Kingdom, than vice versa. The UK's decision to leave the EU did not stem the tide of those EU nationals wanting to be British.The EU has spent the last three years wittering on about "citizens' rights" when it should have been negotiating a normal continuation of trading arrangements between the EU and the UK. Prominent EU politicians such as Mijneer Guy Verhofstadt MEP have repeatedly made very disparaging statements about the UK, as if it has a human rights record worse than China's.Well Guy, if the UK is so awful, how come more EU people want to become British than want to become citizens of your own country of Belgium, or of any of the other EU countries??And how come you buy vintage British sports cars and come over to the UK to race them, if we're such monsters?Face it Guy, it's great to be British. :-)

Boris must show strong leadership when comes to Brexit or will risk losing the next election. .Free trade or no deal... and No Extension!

[diku] 05/4/2020 16:09

[xxxxxy] 05/4/2020 16:05

Going forward. Policy.Made in UK. First.Not Made in the EUSSRNot Made in China.Let's break the final shackles that hold us to the ghastly EUSSR.NO DEAL NO DEAL NO DEAL

I post these numbers because the BBC still shows that German cow telling us that Boris didn't hantle the situation well by not locking down the country from day one.Yet Germany in far front on infected cases.SO PLS SHUT UP!

. Duncan, Cumbria , Thursday, April 02, 2020, 09:45:So the EU bureaucrats in Brussels hate us but the people of the EU still like us so much they want to become British. Well, more than any oither EU country anyway.Another superb article, well done Facts4EU team.

BOFPosted April 5, 2020 at 10:30 am | PermalinkI find it truly shocking that all deaths WITH coronavirus are being reported as having died OF it, which is a blatant distortion of the truth, and could be interpreted as deliberate manipulation.Please Sir John, can you direct your efforts to ensuring that this changes and we get accurate, balanced and truthful reporting of the statistics.Reply?Original ChrisPosted April 5, 2020 at 12:19 pm | PermalinkThat is disgraceful, if true, BOF. It completely distorts the epidemiology. No wonder we don't trust politicians/Government.

[maxk] 05/4/2020 15:56

Or even what they died of...

[k38] 05/4/2020 15:54

Based on infected numbers... The death numbers are no matter for now as we don't know the age, health and serious of each case.. US 311,00 cases and 8,400 deaths .Spain 130,000 cases and 12,418 deaths .Italy 124,000 cases and 15,000 deaths .Germany 97,000 cases and 1,478 deaths .France 90,000 cases and 7,560 deaths .UK 47,806 cases and 4,932 deaths .Russia 5,389 cases and 45 deaths

Alp..I realise that Minerve is attached the EU by the hip, but I don't get why you are. You come over as an astute FX trader where as Minnie comes over as follow the herd chancer. You also live in Switzerland who are not a member, but are in Schengen.

Aren't the Swiss going to hold a vote on staying in Schengen, do they want to be part of free movement in an area comprising 26 European countries that have officially abolished all passport and all other types of border control. The Schengen area also includes Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Lichtenstein, none of which are member states.

The vote if it isn't deferred is on May 17 which is fairly soon, what's your take, will Swiss residents vote to regain control of their borders. The chances are the Swiss may well vote out.

Lord Bath was quite a character. So now Emma Weymouth becomes the first black marchioness.

[alphorn] 05/4/2020 14:44

I can see the reaction to my post on Transition extension.

As expected emotions rule on this thread for most. So funny!

Lucky that you are not fish - you would all be caught.

[pierre oreilly] 05/4/2020 14:20

Minny not mummy!

[pierre oreilly] 05/4/2020 14:20

I see mummy's back to normal. Very sad when anyone dies, friends or foe. We need characters like lord bath in this sanitised banal pc world.
