Who's over COVID19? Who's had enough of masks, comical fist bump/handshakes, while going stir-crazy with caged-up kids and other halves? The trouble is, this pesky strain of Coronavirus won't go away quietly. To defeat it, we the human race have to get the number of COVID19 cases to zero. Yes zero. Everywhere.  The thing about viruses is that they don't do border control. They spread faster than toupees in a hurricane. The Spanish Flu of 1918 reached remote islands within months, without the aid of modern air travel. In fact, all it needed to travel was air itself. So, it's down to us to stop COVID19 from returning again and again, like an unwelcome uncle who seems to crash permanently on your sofa. The really tricky thing about COVID19 is that the total number of cases isn’t known. Only cases confirmed by a Coronavirus test are actually known. Databases are being built so that visualisations of the curve can explain if we humans are making progress. The only way to...

If you live in Australia and New Zealand, it’s time to thank your COVID19 lucky stars. While the Antipodes is flattening the curve, in other parts of the world, the pandemic is not fading away but actually accelerating. This extremely bad news was delivered by  the World Health Organization (WHO), reporting that new Coronavirus cases were reaching new heights. Millions more infected.   In the first three months of the pandemic, one million cases of COVID19 were recorded. It took just eight days to reach the next million cases! With a worldwide total exceeding a staggering nine million, the death rate in some countries doesn’t make for comfortable reading. Donald Trump’s America tops the charts with a lamentable figure that’s heading towards 130,000 deaths. Brazil leads the way in South America, with a thousand Brazilians losing their lives every day. Brazil going nuts! Governments seem to be choosing between lives and livelihoods. Brazil’s President declared social dista...

If the present pandemic   has taught us anything, it’s female world leaders cope better with a country in crisis. Is it a coincidence that leading ladies, rather than leading men have received praise for their handling of Coronavirus? While their more bullish male counterparts, have made schoolboy errors! The two Alpha Males that spring to mind are of course President Trump and Prime Minister Johnson. Heil Trump!   First President Donnie didn’t take too kindly to coming under fire in ‘Fake News’, for his painfully slow reactions to COVID19. Remember a n arcissist is simply irritating when times are good, but are downright debilitating in times of crisis. ‘Everything we did was right’, which of course was wrong. Pressed on reopening parts of America, he raised eyebrows. ’When somebody is president of the United States, your authority is total.’ God help his fellow Americans. ‘COVID’ Johnson NOT ‘Brexit’ Boris.   Surprisingly PM Boris won’t go down in history for steer...
