Re: Coronavirus
Jfman, I just removed an entire post you had directed at another member, your tone is rather abrupt. Calm down.

Yeah, I can understand the thing about releasing names, but numbers of deaths are the bread & butter of the statisticians/scientists/media
not meaning to sound sarcastic, but by heck it's pointless watching any news programs unless you live in one of the big cities

Newsnights political editor said it:

Hopefully we get clarification on this - it’d be a crass way to massage the figures for bureaucracy to lose a few permission slips along the way.

Can you explain? I don't live in a city but don't find the news irrelevant.

Care to provide a link to that if you can find one. Facebook doesn't count.

You can click the link above to see the the source. I would imagine the state broadcaster would have corroborated this in line with their editorial guidelines.

They have gone to some lengths to prompt careless readers from drawing that conclusion by basically welding two different stories together - but nonetheless they still don’t actually report that the UK government has actually disadvantaged itself. Because there’s no evidence that it has.

Re: Coronavirus
I thought that the USP of The Independent was that they were supposed to be politically neutral and this should really apply to Brexit/the pandemic and everything else.

So you're happy to simply accept what the EU allows our quota to be or should we sort out ourselves how much we actually need.

Leeds United's players, coaching staff and senior management have volunteered to take a wage deferral because of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
Boss Marcelo Bielsa and his players will give up part of their wages "for the forseeable future".
The Championship leaders say the move will ensure that all 272 full-time non-football staff can continue to be paid.
