As in related links, Japan has had a relatively less draconian approach to managing this and yet the numbers of infections (which is anyway not a massively relevant number) as well as the number of hospitalisations and the mortality rate have all (to date anyway) been relatively low.

Maybe lockdown mania isn't the only way to deal with this?

Or as Biden knows it, "Delawhere?".

Saw another snatch of him trying to answer a question and once again failing.  Poor old dude is past it.

Amazes me that self proclaimed patriots are prepared to let this old geezer near the levers of power.  When they have to put him out to pasture within months of (possibly) winning the election, the voters will never forgive them for this duplicity.

More nonsense over what is and isn't allowed online.

Some breasts are ok but others are not.   Read this twice and still don't get the logic.

Why do you believe Japan is pretending.

When you walk around or whatever do you see tons of sick people?  Are lots of people off from your work sick?  do you have friends or family who have contracted the virus?

As far as I can tell, this has been pretty under control in Japan.

He then challenged anyone who disagreed with him to a sit up contest.

Dorsey really did a great job.  Goes to show that money doesn't signify beyond making you rich.

Designing, building and running the cyber cesspit that is Twitter certainly seems to have taken it out of him.

all the platforms should just allow unrestricted use (they allow porn and plenty of politically charged content and lots of unverified stuff already) and save themselves from the politicians who will otherwise destroy their business model.

Goodluck

You cannot be serious.  You might as well be saying that the E Asian countries did well for racial or genetic reasons.

Last I looked neither Japan nor Singapore are one party dictatorships.

Who knows what is happening in NK?

And anyway the measures taken in Japan have been far from draconian and yet have not caused huge caseloads or mortality.

Sure, all these countries can try what they have already tried and hope for a different result.  Might just work. I guess they think it is (looks?) better than doing nothing.  although some less draconian measures might be better and not lead to riots and all the other issues that appear to be resulting from lockdowns.

Is it a "century old tradition"??  any event not a big fan of going to the cinema.  With a good home system find it far more fun to watch at home.

I prefer Tokyo Miniskirt Police.

This article says nothing.  Just fluff.  Like the subject of the article.  Pretty though

Poor thing.  I hope it doesn't affect her ability to perform.

Lock it down! 

Not very likely that NK is going to bomb Japan. But better safe than sorry plus military industrial complex will love the spending on these missiles

Good for him. I thought that all the fear mongers were relying on some kind of immunity as the way out of this. Like a vaccine. Or herd. I see WHO now says lockdowns are not the answer. Guess “the Scientists” can also change their minds once the evidence shows that the massive overreaction to this disease may have been unjustified.

Yes.

Paying exactly 750 a year must be a really hard thing to do.

One shuts down entire countries and destroys lives.  The other doesn't.

Another hatchet job.  no direct or verifiable evidence.  Just allegations and anonymous sources.  NYT getting ever more feverish in their desire to try and pin something on DT.

Planted in China by Putin.

Spielberg is redoing West Side Story?  apart from my general dislike of the rehash of old classics, that is going to be a real doozy in these current racially charged times.

He tried to defect to N Korea?  Crazy.

Where do I buy a ticket?  Wuhan here I come!!

I keep reading these reports and cannot quite reconcile the reporting with what he actually said.  He hasn't said "I won't accept the result" (as Hilary and others have) but rather has said that he will need to see how all of the furore around mail in ballots and the like pans out.

Those who think that he will "cling to power" if the result goes against him are indulging in fantasy.

Unless he wins in a landslide.  And even then seems likely that there will be some post election day ballot stuff going on.

As Biden said, if Trump had done his job ALL of the lost lives would have been saved.

That's 200 million lives.........

DT is so loathed that even when he tells the truth he gets lambasted.

I pity whoever has to go thru this process.  Its going to be nasty.

Surely the could have got the Miniskirt Police to do this poster and also do an accompanying tune.

This one not Trump's fault.  A lockdown like we have seen in so many places obviously harms those with only their labour to sell and with no savings  and benefits those with a lot of capital and flexibility to work remotely.  Note most of those benefitting the most are big Democrat backers......

So right for the current moment of madness.  Time for the NBA to step up and do the same to increase White and Asian representation in basketball.  and the NHL the same for blacks and Asians.

Until we have exact replication of society wide racial mix in all sports and universities and professions and so on the world will never be truly free and equal.

Like so much in China, just Potemkin Village stuff.
