Black America’s COVID19 mortality rate is 2.4 times higher, than their white American counterparts. After George Floyd’s kerbside murder, the mortality rate of the average black guy in the street, must have shot up too. African-American communities feel like they’re fighting two pandemics at the same time, COVID19 and racism. As a church leader put it, ‘There's COVID-19 and there's COVID-1619 — the year when slavery came to America.’ Black America Can’t Breathe! Even before George was caught on camera, pleading to the white cop, ‘I CAN’T BREATHE!’, America was already fighting for air, facing its worst public health crisis for a generation. 100,000 Americans have failed to make it past the first six months of 2020. With a significantly larger proportion of that body count being black. Needless to say, the inherent racism within the American Health System doesn’t work in their favour. If the Cops don’t get ya… With Coronavirus seeking out and then decimating African-Americ...

If we thought our pandemic gripped world couldn’t get any worse, we were wrong. With the murder of George Floyd by the lethal use of a Minneapolis police officer’s knee, cities across the world have risen with mass gatherings of protesters. Outrage for George’s unlawful and  unnecessary  death have stoked fears the contagion will spread, as many protests occurred in Coronavirus hot spots. With streets flooded with demonstrators, many not wearing masks and the police responding with tear gas, the perfect Petri dish for COVID19 has been created. Imperfect Timing. George’s murder and subsequent protests have come just as many communities were beginning to lower their guard. Restrictions were gradually being loosened. In terms of COVID19, the protests couldn’t have happened at a worse time, with fears for a second more deadly wave, making the first look like a walk in the park. Months of social distancing have been overturned overnight. Fresh outbreaks could see the rein...

My Money's on the Unbreakable Stone!   COVID-19 isn’t going away any time soon and nor is the legendary Rolling Stones guitarist, Keith Richards. In fact, if Coronavirus got within 2 metres of our Keef’s ox-like constitution, it would wave a makeshift flag of surrender. Mutter ‘how the f*** is he still breathing’, turn tale and head for the hills! Never, to be heard of again. Good riddance to bad rubbish!    Vote Richards? We’d all like to be back on Planet Earth 2020BC: Before Coronavirus. The pandemic that's cut us off from the outside world, our families and all our besties. Did we do anything to it? I think not. Most of us didn’t even know what IT was until a month ago. But it took it upon itself to turn the whole world upside down, without so much as a by your leave. If Keef was in charge, he’d declare war on it! Excess is his middle name.   So how did Keef survive the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s? While so many of his musical buddies barely made i...
