    The US ***

    Unlocking the public early also causes the virus to mutate. Which in turn can cause everyone that has had the original vaccine to be not effective to the new strain! Right back to square one only worse! Now every country is broke!

    What unnecessary extra nice to have tool would you buy if you had £100 only.

    More garbage from China

    Very easy to fix. I believe China buys most of there coal from Canada and Australia. If these countries are so worried about cutting world wide emissions in 5 years, then cut coal exports in 5 years so China has no coal and has to follow.
