    We have an "Indian" variant that has appeared here in the UKicon. We are always the one stop shop for other countries.....nothings changed there then.
    India continues to lose hundreds of thousands of lives to a faster spreading variant very sad to see in such a predominantly poor country with Billions to feed!

    Ironically in the middle of this China has allowed couples to have up to three children instead of one in future!!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    They have apparently been allowing two for some time. I missed that change, was very surprised to see three. Like you, I thought they were limited to one.

    I was surprised by the 3 baby change in China as well.
    To be honest; the only way to ensure a decent future for our planet is to maintain the population a a reasonable level. Because if we don't limit births; we will reach a point where it's unsustainable.
    That will obviously end in mass violence and the population will be reduced by the resulting conflicts. Better to not reach that level in the first place!

    I believe factory worker skit in Monty Pythons "Meaning of Life" sums it up nicely.

    WOW, I hope all you other nations were not following Dr Fauci for guidance on your policies.

    Freedom of information act has exposed his private government emails to scrutiny and it's turning out that the vast majority of his public releases are either inaccurate or out and out lies. Masks do nothing to protect the uninfected. The only valid use of cloth masks is for the infected to wear to reduce the spread of droplets. Masks are actually more dangerous for the healthy to wear for other reasons. Weird as this is what I've been saying all along.

    He received a very detailed study on hydroxicloroquine and it's effectiveness and his response to it was "it's too long to read" He then discounted the use and the media ran wild with it because Trump said it and it was not widely used. Turns out many lives could have been saved.

    They've been talking about it for over an hour now and it's pretty bad. He denied research was happening when it was. He denied it was lab created when all evidence is pointing to that being the only realistic way it was released.

    And he knew all this from the very beginning. He was telling the truth when he told people not to wear masks at the beginning. There was no information at all that changed this to make them useful, they are not.

    Could you post the link to this information? Masks being dangerous for healthy people, study on hydroxychloroquine, etc.
    Sounds like an interesting read.

    Just a quick one on this that I could have mentioned in one of my previous posts on this site if I remember correctly. I know of two women who were admitted to hospital and they were specifically told by the medical professionals who treated them that it was because of mask wearing. The lady that cuts my hair and the wife of a school friend.
    It is not only useless but actually bad for a healthy person to wear a mask for long stretches of time. Washing your hands and not putting your fingers in your mouth after touching bodily fluids dripping out of strangers works to prevent you from picking up diseases. Masks do not.

    Masks help the helpless feel they're actually doing something proactive. But when I watch an individual walking alone in the wee hours of the morning on an empty side street with a mask, I wonder if they've ever had an original thought or do they just follow media?
    Regards, Jim
