    So you believe the communist lies coming out of China, Russia, North Korea, and Cuba? Trump never said anything like that at all. He is hoping that we will be able to go back to work by Easter. I was hoping sooner than that myself. Looks like you could be a little more truthful since your scammers Harry and Megan, or whatever their names are, have moved to Hollywood, which they promised not to do as long as Trump was President. Looks like the Royals are real scammers.

    Not dishonest, I heard him say it on the news about three days ago. He said more would die in a recession than the virus, due to people committing suicide. The medical scientists strongly disagreed with him and he toned it down slightly

    It has nothing to do with his fortune, which is a lot smaller than all the rich Democrats such as George Soros and the silicone valley masters of the universe as well as Jeff Bezos and Carlos Slim, another anti-American like Harry and Megan Scammer.

    No one knows the truth about the toll from the flu in the communist countries. We do know that globalism caused this. I am hoping that we can stop buying things made in China. We are hoping to be back to work by Easter or sooner. It is not just Trump who wants the economy back but many other Republicans.

    I don't play down the virus. `I have a granddaughter aged 23 who was working in France till April as part of her university course. She has not been able to work for about 2 weeks. And because of the drugs she is on for her cancer, she is in the most vulnerable group. She is not allowed to leave her flat for 12 weeks. She has run out of money has been living on take away meals as she cannot get a delivery slot on the online supermarkets. I sent her some money as did my daughter. She said a kind gentleman collected her shopping today for her from Carrefour Drive. (The Drive after the name is what we call click and collect.) My daughter wanted to go and bring her back but because of the restrictions on driving in both England and France mean that she is unable to.

    Just seen Mr Trump described as America's billionaire president.

    Prince Charles has the virus, Boris Johnson has, our health minister has, as has the chief medical officer. Michel Barnier, the EU chief negociator for Brxit has. A 36 year old man who is training for the ministry and has preached at my church is seriously ill with it. He ahs a wife and three children, the youngest is only a few weeks old, Because of our age, my wife and I are considered in the most vulnerable group and have to self isolate for 12 weeks. My daughter lives next door and will get our shopping for us.
    I hve an allotment at the end of our garden and can get out there and do some gardening. It is easy to isolate over there. Up to last weekend after a couple of months of heavy rain, it was too wet to work there. In the last week after sunny but cold and windy weather the soil hads gone rock hard. Still I have a small Mantis tiller,made in USA, but with a Honda engine to help me.

    As a footnote, you can keep Megan and Harry.

    True, Trump is a billionaire but we have several hundred of them in this country. The ten wealthiest people in the USA are all Democrats and they have 30 or 40 times as much money as Trump.

    We don't have any of what you have in Europe here in Indiana so far. Most of our cases are in Indianapolis, a run-down city. The rural areas have entire counties that have no cases so far. We wanted to open up everything the first of the month but now it looks as if we are being forced to wait until Easter. The Noah's Ark in Kentucky, for example, was shut down from March 17 until April 2 but it looks as if they will not reopen then. They have about a thousand employees counting seasonal employees who are often college students. Ken Ham is asking for money to pay the employees. The Indiana county where I live has 28 cases and 2 deaths out of a population of over 150,000 people.

    Thanks for your reply. In our county, Kent and the neighbouring county of East Sussex there were only three dearths between them till yesterday. I missed the local news today so I don't know of ant updates. The most number of infections are in London and the East Midlands. Our county ajoins London so we may get more near the border. About a week ago, I noticed on this board or another board say that in his state they are not doing any testing.
    I contacted a local dairy farm today who are delivering fresh milk. Thy only deliver it in the evening so you get milkfrom the cows that are milked that morning.

    Looks like the big cities are vulnerable all over the world. Indianapolis has a crime rate like Chicago. American big cities are controlled by Democrats for almost a century. New York has a lot of crowding with high rents for small apartments and crowded public transportation. Los Angeles & San Francisco have tens of thousands of addicts & mental patients living on the streets so they are going to have medical problems.

    And do you blame Trump for the increase in cases?

    Idon't blame anyone. Most countries made some mistakes when they were first confronted with the virus. Because it was new and unknown.
