Can The Man In The Coronavirus Mask save America?

Losing disgracefully was always going to be President Donnie’s reaction to coming second in a two-horse race. Unfortunately, the more The Orange One fails to recognise Denial is not a river in Egypt, the more Americans are going to be swept away by COVID-19’s rampage across the land of the free.  The Trump to Biden transition is like no other in history. Time is literally against the incoming Biden administration. The longer Donald obsesses about being a victim of a rigged election, the more of his fellow Americans aren’t going to see Christmas this year.  With Coronavirus claiming over 1,000 American lives every day, pleas from Biden’s team and groups of public health experts are getting increasingly desperate. The U.S. is heading towards a humanitarian crisis within its own borders with 11 million confirmed infections and a death toll that’s heading towards 250,000!  Doctor Anthony Fauci, America’s top infectious disease expert and subject to many a Trump verbal attack,...

U.S. claims COVID19 ‘badge of honour’?

The U.S. now holds the world record for the highest number of its citizens infected by COVID19. If there was a podium at the Olympic Coronavirus Games, President Donald would be standing atop of the tree, proudly taking the applause of a huge, imaginary crowd of his supporters. (Not unlike his phantom inauguration throng!) His view is that America’s 1.5 million cases, together with a staggering 92,000 deaths, is some sort of spiky red ‘BADGE OF HONOUR’? Spinning is winning! Like an expert spin doctor, President Donald tried to explain his country’s Coronavirus record. ‘You know when you say that we lead in cases, that's because we have more testing than anybody else. So, when we have a lot of cases, I don't look at that as a bad thing. I look at that as, in a certain respect, as being a good thing because it means our testing is much better.' Duh! According to an Oxford University scientific publication, the U.S. lags globally behind other countries in testing, on a per cap...

COVID19: The China Virus?

It didn’t take long , did it? The school yard bullies of America and China to kick-off the World Finger-Pointing Championships.  It’s a conspiracy theory played out on seperate continents, about who actually started COVID19 and sent the planet into Coronavirus pandemic lockdown. As soon as President Trump got wind that a Chinese official had spread the rumour that the virus had been imported to China by U.S. Army personnel, diplomacy (not President Trump’s strong suit), went straight out of the window. 中國病毒 19   (Chinese Virus 19) In that moment, the virus became ‘foreign’, an invader purposely sent by another power to wreak havoc on Donald’s people and more importantly the U.S. economy. The term ‘Chinese virus’ began to pepper speeches from the White House podium. ‘Corona’ was hurriedly scratched out and replaced with ‘Chinese’ more and more frequently. When asked if this was racist, Donald replied ‘It’s from China. It comes from China. I want to be accurate.’ He mi...

Will the Coronavirus crisis stick to Teflon Don?

In an election year, President Donald Trump has delivered on his 2016 promise of Making America Great Again. The U.S. has the GREATEST rate of COVID19 infection on the planet. With the numbers of Americans contracting the virus, growing rather than flattening. Like some demented Mr  Miyagi , Donald’s replaced ‘Wax On, Wax Off’, with ‘Lie On, Lie Off’. Furiously deflecting COVID19 body blows, that might damage his monstrous ego in the polls. Scapegoat Hunting?   Look over there The World Health Organisation, ‘called it wrong.’ W.H.O. actually called it on the 30th of January, declaring COVID19 a public health emergency. A whole month later Teflon Don tweeted, ‘The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA’. Eventually the penny dropped and Trump declared a national emergency, 43 days after W.H.O. called it. Maybe Donald’s hearing is going too? Testing Times!   Testing has been described as the window onto Coronavirus and its spread. Without testing, no-one...
