Just a pure deflection play....
Trump sniffs something ugly coming (bad numbers) that reflect on him so he get the groundwork in to deflect the blame onto WHO.
And of course turn it into a brick storm for full affect.

Motive...motive, what was his motive? It wasto distract from the complete incompetence of his own response. Look over there a unicorn.

May well have been but he is right about them and I agree with that point

Sky are reporting that 91 percent of UK deaths are from people with at least 1 pre existing medical condition.
Would be interesting to know the ages of the other 9%, or are they including old age as an underlying condition?

Also if obesity counts as underlying.
In this country that would likely make the number 100%
Also worth considering that (AFAIK) these numbers are hospital only and do not count the deaths in care homes. etc. I would expect a large proportion of those in care homes to have underlying conditions too.
The ONS has, if you don't mind picking apart the data.
It looks to me (quick fudge with figures) that if you include being over 70 as an underlying condition, it increases to over 96%.

The more that comes out the more I think this lock down is going to end sooner than later - we are being held hostage by OAPs dying

Might be why we’re suffering With so many deaths despite not having such an aged population.

Some countries are starting the first stages already, it would take a lot of balls for the UK to say 'Nah, we are gonna be more cautious and stay in lockdown' for too much longer. In countries 2 weeks ahead of the UK curve some types of shops/businesses have been allowed to open again, schools have been given opening dates in the coming g weeks and parks and open areas opened up again with obvious social distance measures in place

Switzerland reopening businesses and schools in stages starting from 27 Apr.
I don't think it's unrealistic at all to say we're in isolation for say another 3 weeks until we can be sure that:
- Cases are flattening out
- Deaths going down
- Supply chain and logistics for PPE are fully established (including reserve stocks)
- Extra ventilators have been delivered
- Processing of registrations by GMC etc for health workers from other countries willing to help out has been done
- Food/supply chains are in place
- Testing is in place (100K per day)
- Some form of contact tracing/app/other solution in place
But in summary yeah I agree beyond another 3 weeks if things go as they seem to be and they can work on the above then it makes sense to look at partial relaxation of things - I really hope the gyms open, lockdown doesn't help the waitline.
