Family, is family, close or not, I am sorry for what you are going through.

Thank you, but really I didn't know them well or see them often. I'm sad for their families and their lost years, but I don't feel it's a personal loss for me, is all I mean. But my mother grew up with them and would have seen them often enough. She is frightened and upset.

We need to exterminate all bats. Throughout history mankind has exterminates all of its greatest enemies such as the dinosaurs, Count Dracula, the Loch Ness monster, the dodo and ET. I can’t think of anything good bats do except for the batman films. They even interfered with the lovely pangolin. I hope president trump is re-elected and the first law he pass is the worldwide extermination of bats. 🦇

Deaths across Spain, Italy, France, UK still remain consistently high. Its very depressing that there is still no major decline appearing yet, it feels like years since the lockdowns began there

Spain lockdown is 5 weeks on Monday, although they started imposing it the day before which was 15th March.

And the whole period in the first chart is under lock down conditions...not much progress in the last couple of weeks (there has been progress previously as can be seen).

Yeah too bad the damage will be done by then. I'll relish seeing him being thrown out like the sack of rubbish he is

Man's an absolute unit. Works 20 hours a day. His wife has to remind him to eat, sleep and drink. It's men like him we'll owe a lot to when this is all over, not a pro bluffer like Trump. Timing of the virus is a serious worry for him. I think his re-election isn't so secure after all this

Unfortunately I doubt it. Did you see all the Christians shouting about their rights... science be dammed!

If you don't agree with him or his policies you are going to say that. Yet millions of Americans support him.
Vast majority of Irish people don't like him or his personality. Makes zero difference on election Day or any other day for that matter. Trump articles generate clicks. He has been a godsend to media companies

One man's meat is another man's poison.

This is why (some) Americans love him

Trump won't have any problem calling a rally with 50000 people. Will Biden do it? That will be totally undermining his own position but also losing the propaganda war as americans like these big rallies. It sways their thinking. His only hope is that the rallies become a hot bed for coronavirus.
If either of them get it their goose is cooked too.

Have heard ads where it was the man being abused - so not sure what you are on about

TimeToShine

I would bet my house that Trump will win the election and it'll be a landslide. A lot of people here don't understand Americans, they take patriotism to a new level and the vast majority see this as an evil Chinese virus and only Trump has the balls to stick it to them. They see China as coming for their world superpower title and they are having none of it.

Bookies are offering 10/11 at the moment.

The male aspect of the campaign was highlighted in media coverage of the campaign when it launched.

Spain added 2,672 new cases and 371 new deaths this afternoon which implies that tomorrow morning's 24 hour update for deaths could be well up in to the 600's with a big surge in new cases too.

It would be the continuation of a reversal this week in the otherwise positive trajectory prior.

Remember, Spain has just tentatively reopened construction sites and some smaller stores and a lot of people are nervous about how the government is handling the situation.

That was only two or three days ago though wasnt it, it would be too soon for it to cause any increase in cases yet I would have thought

Joe Biden hasn't a chance, he will struggle in the live debates against Trump.

I agree that both sides get battered and abused. Was woken up earlier by it happening near by.

Even when it is not domestic abuse the fact is tempers are always more likely to flare at times when people are cooped up together for prolonged periods.

One thing that's got to be handed to him is his ability to argue and never accept being at fault. Also four years of non stop media pressure. Article after article. He looks the same now as when he was elected. A bit fatter but that's it.

China are definitely coming for that position. Trumps trade war was only the beginning of worsening relations between the two.

I mean we have an openly gay taoiseach with a migrant background. No body cares. It's not an issue here. It's a nothing
Do you think they would have that in the United States? No chance. There was meltdown over there from republicans when it was suggested that Obama was from Kenya!

Quick Question.


When did it start that every time anyone asks a question of someone on the telly they always start the answer with the word "SO"

Too soon to bring the tentative reopening into things over there. Perhaps increased testing catching more cases similar to Italy? Deaths will unfortunately remain high even if new cases reduce

Take those odds, people who were avid Trump supporters are far more concerned about what is happening in their own neighbourhoods. I am now hearing "I have respect for the office of the President", they are no longer Trump supporters.

You aren't on the telly though. It's right up there with someone who starts a written sentence with "Right lads". It's like they are about to give a team talk before a county final

Excellent answer. I knew that. Wondered if anyone else did.
