Unemployment is expected to rise dramatically..." https://www.euronews.com/2020/04/17/coronavirus-in-sweden-it-s-a-myth-that-life-is-going-on-as-normal-says-swedish-government Message Thread: Yet another challenge to Govt. & MSM propaganda - AlanG April 23, 2020, 5:32 pm Re: Yet another challenge to Govt. & MSM propaganda - Ken Waldron April 23, 2020, 6:36 pm Re: Yet another challenge to Govt. & MSM propaganda - Mark Doran April 23, 2020, 7:35 pm Re: Yet another challenge to Govt. & MSM propaganda - Tomski April 23, 2020, 9:16 pm Re: Yet another challenge to Govt. & MSM propaganda - Mark Doran April 23, 2020, 9:24 pm Re: Yet another challenge to Govt. & MSM propaganda - Tomski April 23, 2020, 9:44 pm Re: Yet another challenge to Govt. & MSM propaganda - walter April 23, 2020, 10:42 pm Re: Yet another challenge to Govt. & MSM propaganda - walter April 23, 2020, 11:01 pm Assuming 'well-resourced' is in terms of the hospital beds capacity nm - Tomski April 23, 2020, 9:23 pm Re: Yet another challenge to Govt. & MSM propaganda - Mark Doran April 23, 2020, 10:44 pm   Searching
