That's been true since day one. Nearly every day there is a new article about misreporting the deaths. Just last week was a report about gun shot victims being included in the numbers. People want to make this thing out to be worse than it is so everyone dying is getting lumped into the numbers.
It's a sham.

And there are those who need to defend the claim that it will go away by Easter time. Or when the summer heat flows in.
We don't know which side is the strongest one in influencing the numbers. But I'd say that it is more dangerous to force the estimates too low down, pretending that the spreading is a lot less than it is in reality, rather than the opposite, urging us to be more careful than strictly necessary.
Maybe some countries will experience a second wave while others won't. I suspect that there will be more second waves in countries where the common attitude is that there is nothing to worry about, it is nothing but a sham.

But no one, as far as I can tell, has ever done that.

It may be safer not to rely on your telling.

I see a pattern with you. An illogical one, but still a pattern.

Good. That is a good basis for efficient compression.

It's almost impossible for any politician to act dumber than he actually is. Very few of them could achieve it unless heavily sedated or comatose, which would cause confusion by markedly improving their actions.

You should've mentioned who's who.
It's not obvious from my standpoint.

I think you could have shortened this to
"They both act dumb because they are"
The only difference is one has a very small "this is a dumb statement to make" filter installed.

I'm having trouble with nuisance calls for a week or two now - the most common one seems to be "You said you would be back from the pub 3 hours ago!"

Just slam the phone down: most satisfying !!
|
|
|
|

Now there's an idea for a mobile phone app that would be really popular! One that makes the sound of a phone being slammed when disconnecting! Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if there were multiple versions of this already. The problem is that people under a certain age wouldn't understand it!

I used to have a satisfying joke
q) what goes 'beep, beep, beep' ?
a) ends call/puts phone down
 used to p*ss off my brother
|

Yes, me being somewhat of age for a moment I forgot about the mobile phone where the slamming does not work as well. But I agree an app to simulate the action would be very popular.

Mind you slamming down a mobile is satisfying for both ends of the call: The slammer gets to end the call, and the slamee knows the other guy just smashed his expensive screen ...
