The global outbreak of the corona virus since March has caused a major disruption in the supply and demand of the car market, and the industry has seen one of its biggest losses since World War II. On the other hand, car factories were shut down to prevent the virus; Auto dealerships and car dealerships also stopped working and waited for the virus to spread. In April, some car companies resumed production with health restrictions and social distancing. However, the production wheel does not have the speed of the past and it obviously takes a while for the factories to be able to produce cars as usual. In addition to closing factories, the corona outbreak has disrupted the delivery of raw materials and parts.
In this regard, different countries are seeking to restore prosperity to the car market. Germany saw a 61 percent drop in production in April from the same period last year, the lowest level since 1990. New car sales in the UK also fell 97 percent, the lowest since February 1946. The same thing happened in Spain, where passenger car sales fell 96 percent from April last year. The United States was one of the countries most severely affected by the corona; Toyota and Honda experienced a 54% drop in the US market, which means that their sales have halved compared to April last year.Well with a read:
I’m sure her degree in mathematics/economics and her phd in nutrition qualifies her to be a respected voice regarding coronavirus.
I can only assume that you don’t understand the role of researchers, wmcforum. She has gathered and presented information with source references. As far as I know, she has not claimed any particular knowledge of coronavirus, but has presented solid evidence which leads to her conclusion. That, to me, makes what she says worth listening to. Take it or leave it. Accept it or argue with it, put it seems unfair to suggest that what she says is invalid because you don’t like her qualifications. A PhD in anything shows she is qualified to do research. I put it here for forum members interest.
And I put my reply to further add context to the piece. For the forum membership. I’m not saying the information is not well selected to put her point across I’m just saying she is not an epidemiologist or a medical doctor, but someone who writes diet books subtitled ‘no more mr fat guy’
I just expected more.
Julie i read that but five minutes ago, great news and likely the first of many.
Join the queue guys.
The only person who got all his work done by Friday was Robinson Crusoe.
Anything i post over three lines long please assume it is an article lol.Have to agree with WMCforum. Prior to her coronavirus “research” Ms Harcombe presented herself as an expert on diet and obesity. Her “fad” diet book was widely criticised by real medical professionals. Her quote of: “If you do extra exercise, it will be counterproductive because you will get hungry” pretty much sums it up.
What’s more her books, diets and pronouncements receive regular glowing praise from the Daily Mail and she also writes for the Mail. Need I say more..?
News on the virus developments seems very encouraging. Hope initial findings stay good. A 90% success rate is outstanding (Oxford one, I believe). Bit worried about the Pfizer one. BBC news said it had to be kept at minus 70 degrees C until moments before being administered. That will go wrong. Too many buttons to press incorrectly, too many incompetents to do the pushing.
Speaking as the family Cook, I think you’re quoting from my Tale. But I do agree, indeed: The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.
Ah, if we’re doing quotations, let me offer you Jung:
One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The latter procedure, however, is disagreeable and therefore not popular.
Well, given that many of the doc’s and boffins working on the vaccines are fresh out of college/uni:
So wise so young, they say, do ne’er live long.

A very interesting informative detailed interview. It maybe not what some will want to hear, but still one must listen to all the details to educate oneself and make informed decsions, rather than listen to just what you are told and accepting it as the gospel, according to the highest, so called self appointed authorites, what you are not told and is leftout is the real scandal in all of this and very important.. He explains alot of issues very well indeed. Make your own minds up is what i say.
Truth = whatever someone wants to claim is a fact that often isn’t. Religions use this trick to brainwash children into becoming victims.
Truth (corollary to above) = something politicians and NHS managers never use in case it leads to them getting the blame for something.
Religions use the age old trick of making one believe bad stuff will happen to them or in some more radical forms what will happen if you don’t conform to the ideology and promote some higher being or authority you are accountable to or must answer to, some sort of god. To assert control over you.. Religion has been replaced by goverment and those in medicine who imo wanna play the part of or be the new gods. So many just don’t know and realise what the true agenda is and trust these abusers of trust and do there dirty work for them as they are conditioned to do so..
half truth + half truth = lie
A half-truth deceives the recipient by presenting something believable and using those aspects of the statement that can be shown to be true as a good reason to believe the statement is true in its entirety, or that the statement represents the whole truth.
What it is often always about is power and money (debt) and we can see how this pandemic is increasing the debt hugely and gaining powers against our freedoms. Plus usually it is us the citizens / subjects who get the blame for it all..
fact the nhs is overrun every winter and surely they know that and with this pandemic they must of known but said nothing and did nothing but we to blame for not following the rules. So we must all be punished further and more tighter restrictions brought in.. So then they can say the same again.
I said in the beginning of all of this when they put the cv19 act in place for 2 years ( to be renewed every 6 months) when they knew very little and that tells me that they had some some of plan already in place for 2 years to rollout the new normal. There is alot they don’t tell us because it’s not in the national interest to tell us. Report findings are sealed for a 100 years to protect whom, scandal after scandal and nothing changes in fact those that spk out are often then jailed or worse and now thats all ok if you undercover or on a covert mission..
I am not a religious person but I do believe that, in general, having faith encourouges you to be a better person. I also believe that ridiculing faith is not productive and our time can better served helping those in need.
There are people of faith on this forum who work tirelessly to help the many who visit on a daily basis. I would not want anyone to leave the forum because they feel their faith is being ridiculed.
ridiculed. just like you are trying to do to my view many time over and over. I have not said to anyone who follows any religion must not but, i am allowed to believe and say it is what i believe it is.. As that is the freedom of speech.
I am not trying to ridicule your view Rox just making you aware that with freedom of speech comes a modicum of responsibility.
What you have written will have no effect on you but a person of faith might take it personally and it could affect the rest of their day or their participation on the forum.Many people have religion at the heart of their lives it can be the most important thing they have much more important and personal than politics or the environment so I’m suggesting we bare that in mind when discussing this topic.
Brydo and rox. Doesn’t this come down to the right to offend against the right not to be offended? In other words, freedom of expression or censorship?
I may not agree with the way rox has expressed his view but I don’t think Brydo should be the gatekeeper for the offended either.
I don’t see myself as that wigwam I just think religion should be handled in a similar way to gender and racism. Its definitely OK to discuss them, in fact imperative, but, as with these other subjects, you should measure what you say carefully.
In the past jokes about gay or people of colour where commonplace, expected and encouraged but that time has past.
I don’t think its reasonable to suggest you can say what you like without being challenged.
