Excess deaths

[king1]

Most countries are in recession at present to some degree and we're actually doing better than some economies that are regarded as strong, and of course many affected countries are trade customers of ours so their issues flow through as reduced export volumes for us.

You would be hard placed to come up with a country that isn't "screwed" just now, and as king1 states, there's more of us alive out of the other end of that pandemic.

And where is the excess 1 billion dollars a week going that's being spent?

that would be a third of all government revenue would it not?
