    I'm not sure if the virus stats in the UK are worse, but here's how it stands in the US (not much to fret over):

    If you look at it like that jtc, combine that with all the shootings and homicides and the figures soon rise

    Was just addressing the virus here. Auto deaths are at about 3500 a day, but people aren't wanting to stop driving.

    The ignorant speaks ! . Where do you think California gets these people in the first place ? We have been invaded by people like this for decades from all over the world AND all of the rest of the US ! When they cannot make it here [ mostly because it is too expensive to live here unless you have some work skills], they leave. Glad to be rid of the lot of them. But they only get replaced by more people.looking for "the dream". The native Californians are glad to see them move on. I hope the virus cleans up the gene pool frankly. ...J.D.

    Oh Jack, we have plenty of "blue eyed", english speaking losers as well. Born and raised here and almost 75 years old. I have watched this play out all my life. Nobody talks about the ones that come here from the others states. They come to make money I think. What they are too stupid to realise is, in this kind of economy, you better have your ducks in a row. We have a homeless problem here. Why ? People.come here from a bit of everywhere trying to score the "big one". I was born in this environment. I have been retired here almost 12 years ! Not a place for.lazy people. Too expensive. Too competitive. Only life I have ever known. ...J.D.

    I worked for an American company for many years and used to visit Phoenix and New York regularly, l found American society to be clean, tidy and usually respectful....well.... perhaps not over the last few days!

    In that case, you're probably a fun guy to be around. (that is called sarcasm)

    Thanks for the stats post, @JtC. Who's the source??

    BTW, you're right about CA. I lived there for ten years and loved it (moved there from MN and then to AZ). But when stuff hits the fan, a move to AZ is a common choice for those from CA. Over the years one of the things most affected has been real estate prices. When you sell your house for the price often commanded in CA and then see the prices in AZ, it changes how much people will pay because AZ costs seem cheap relatively speaking when compared to many places in CA.

    Sandi: What you say about the real estate is true. These are the economic forces that shapes economics, prompts people to go where they will. Of course the political forces play that for all it is worth. I stay firmly OUT of politics [either right or left]. I don't need a professional fool to tell me how to think. But it is sad to see the things going on right now. Peace to all. ...J.D.

    The source is the CDC. I was pretty much joking about California, but there is always a little truth in the jest -it's what makes things funny, I suppose. Though, not always funny to all people. :p

    Dreading it down here in West Cornwall, we usually "hybernate" for the peak 6 weeks we get invaded (confession - I was one of the emmets until we moved down from Nottingham about 20yrs ago), I think this year it will be far worse and for longer. I know the Cornish economy supposedly relies on tourism but the majority here earn a living in other ways and there's already bad feeling down here - can't help thinking there's trouble brewing.

    I think any holiday location is impacted by tourist and the locals get the brunt of the bad behaviour and silliness that occurs. Not a lot you can do about it as long as your local government promote the area to attract the visitors... You could move

    Unfortunately lack of education and general understanding of others is a big problem, how to get over it I'm not sure.

    The Benidorm point is certainly a good one. Things a lot quieter over here generally. Got out recently to meet the sun rise on the Antrim coast and had the roads to myself, bar one police car going the opposite direction and a few fishermen, bliss.

    Stay safe.

    :laughing::joy:NO!....I know how lucky I am (but worked/sacrificed for the privilege), as I say, for a few weeks of the year we just avoid the usual holiday haunts until they've all gone home and got the place to ourselves again, unfortunately this year I see it dragging on into the autumn.
    Every year the majority of locals hate tourists getting in the way of their daily business, add to that the thought they're probably bringing the virus down with them (no deaths in Cornwall for the past 6 days) and it's not going to end well.
    Just look how we've made Gordon Ramsay feel welcome here. :laughing:
