How much do you think the UK and Aus will give to Africa Gob?

Very little Seenenough. I wasn't belittling American generosity, I was giggling at African perversity...

The Corona Virus will crush the economies of many countries, all over the world, that were on the brink of collapse-God help the world if the US economy were to totally implode.

China itself depends on a healthy US economy in order for its own economy to grow.

Many hard,critisizeable and difficult decisions will need to be made not only by Trump but also many other World Leaders.Many descisions will require a "big pair "and much conviction in order to make them.

The one true fact is that none of those, who have to make the difficult but unavoidable calls ,is perfect.

America is resilient, and I hope that these straitened times, will bring it back to its senses. I believe there is a core of genuine decency in the heart of the American soul and the American way, both Republican and Democratic and many other lunatics too..

I don't see Trump has any part of this. May he soon be forgotten...

What we are seeing in the UK is many traders 'failing' due to lack of income (all pubs and cinemas and many shops are closed so no income), and, although government 'help' is promised it will be too little too late for many who were struggling to survive anyway.

Better hope Boris has a plan (and the money)that the House will support.

Boris has a plan. It might not include the majority of people but he has a plan.

Gob, the American system has been working just fine and as the founders intended,despite the media and their tow along political cronies continually preaching otherwise.

Seenenough, the very fact, that the USA is being bedeviled by this virus makes me worried for its people. The current regime are the worst of men and are apt to remind us of H. L. Mencken's prophetic warning...

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

Let it be so... and may rationality, empiricism and human decency engage the hearts of men and women, whatever their political proclivities...

SE, this side of the pond your primaries are on the back burner. Do you have any outstanding candidate or will it be a full affair?

[BenThere]

Now that we're approaching the November election, the contest is closing to President Trump versus the Democrat offering, to be determined. Lately Cuomo has been floated as a rescue candidate to relieve the Democrat party of Biden, as horrible a candidate as was Hillary Clinton in 2016, seeing as how he is senile.

As we enter into the encroaching election, President Trump dominates. His daily coronavirus briefings are the most watched segments on television. As he did in 2016 he is using these briefings as free campaign exposure, selling his message of being on guard for Americans, staffing critical functions with the best experts he can find, and essentially, doing his job assiduously, The people, I think, are realizing that a president committed to the challenges at hand is much better than a president committed to hoops, golf, fundraisers and repetitive vacations to Martha's Vinyeard and Kailua, Hawaii.

Will the Ford models be available only in black? Like the NYC one pictured in the article?

At least in the UK we’ll recognise a Dyson model by the garish and unco-ordinated colours of the plastic components which will give the appearance of a vacuum cleaner which some over-ambitious DIY amateur dismantled for repair and forgot how to reassemble?!

And now a splash of cold water to make us all feel good;

Please could someone explain to me why bars are open here but not allowed to serve alcohol, They give you external alcohol wipes before you go in but not interior alcohol protection. F...ing idiots.

Seems that we are going into close down. No cases yet.
