    Found this taken 2 months ago, certainly looks cleaner, I remember you used to be able to see the black water for a good way out as you were flying into manila.

    Taken from similar vantage point as your example vid, this was in 2010 but the light is hazy so not really easy to see what the water was like.

    Post lockdown riots in Hubei Province, it seems.

    Shady Twitter account but some validation from reputable Canadian outlet.

    The number of people who died of coronavirus in Italy has risen by 969, the biggest daily jump since the crisis began.

    The total number of deaths now stands at 9,134

    Dom, I know these figures will be very upsetting for you and I would like to express my deepest sympathy. :cry:

    Just for information, when you find a page or a video with that kind of narration is almost certainly computer assembled, you're not listening to a real human and I am fairly certain there are enough markers in that video that indicate it is a computer reading a script even though the accent is quite a good UK accent.

    There are more and more of these newsreader robots being used on mechanised websites that are out to get as many click-through's and advert clicks as possible.

    While it is serious, this will just result in more dead kids.

    Even before Duterte got into power, one of Ana's nephews was shot in the backside by a Barangay officer, took years but he eventually got some compensation as the lad hadn't even done anything.

    This lockdown/Martial law whatever you want to call it, seems like it's not working over in the provence. Dozens of kids running about playing next to my lot and the markets are full of people inches apart. I'm not allowed out over 65 and the wife's waiting for a pass to go out shopping, whild the food in the house may last another week. Drinking water we get delivered. Seems like an eternity for me having been recovering from Dengue most of March.

    You sure as hell don't want to have been anywhere near this SARS-Cov-2 virus while you had Dengue Jim, just keep yourself well isolated at this time while you get your strength back.

    This has always been the problem with guns: If someone is angry and in possession of a gun, someone can get killed. If someone has a knife, there's a chance the other person can run away.

    Best way to avoid being shot is, don't make them angry in the first place.

    Yes Jim, but things happen and guns are not very forgiving.
