1467921 2020-04-11 00:34:00 Try contrasting the following two sets of data... one from the start of this thread, the other with more up to date data... but it's just a flu... isn't it.

So now (in the USA) daily Covid deaths are over 10x the rate of flu/pneumonia deaths, and the thing to bear in mind, is that this whole issue is still gaining momentum there. It's nowhere near its peak yet. This is exponentially more than 'just a flu'.

Denial? Why would yu think it's wrong? I don't know many businesses that can afford to pay staff and expenses without any help from the govt at all.

Where do you think the government gets its money? from money trees?

Piroska actually inadvertently answered that by quoting Bill English in her own post ... in part
New Zealand, a small country at the end of the world, would eventually need to repair its balance sheet and "all forms of taxes will be on the table".

English is right, we'll be paying this back for years and years to come, such incompetencies being the hallmark of socialist governments (my add on comment, not English').

Well I’ve tried contrasting the two sets of data as you suggest Paul and can’t for the life of me work out how.

One is “Worldwide Deaths between January 1st and March 25th 2020”, and the other is just the "USA and Daily".

What further concerns me is the exactness of the figures in the first set.

I mean, leaving Covid out of the equation, how would you establish that there were exactly 9,913,702 Deaths by Abortion in the given time-frame?

I suggest you couldn’t and that goes for all their other statistics too.

Moving onto the second chart did you notice that none of the figures for the comparison deaths moved for the whole time, just the Covid so how does that work?

However, I must make it clear that I do believe Covid is a highly contagious virus and needs our full attention, but, eventually we will get a handle on it and it can join all the others in the Sin Room.

Frankly, I’d rather be in NZ at the moment than any other country. :)

Is this the same incompetent English that increased NZ sovereign debt from $6 billion all the way up to a whopping $?? billion (93 billion I seem to recall)during his tenure as finance minister?

:lol: you really are amusing.

From doctors reports no doubt. Most people don't DIY these days.

Inadvertently? I picked out certain of his statements, that being one I thought rather important actually.

Thats not amusing - or relevant.
He's right. Regardless who wins the next election, no-one is going to like the new financial sitauation. They might vary a bit with the how and what, but either way it's going to be crap.

1467930 2020-04-11 04:27:00 Sadly I must agree a deadly global pandemic is not amusing.
What is amusing and relevant is calling out right-wingers with bloody short memories who are steeped in hypocrisy.
