President Donald J Trump (the J obviously stands for genius), is not the first world leader to come a Coronavirus cropper. After months of downplaying the threat of COVID-19, Karma paid the Orange Man in the White House a visit. Both he and his sultry First Lady, have been diagnosed with the virus. Which is kinda ironic just as COVID-19 clocked up 1 million deaths, worldwide.  Donald’s brush with the COVID Reaper couldn’t have come at a better or worse time, depending on how the Washington spin doctors decide to spin it. With the President behind Joe Biden in every poll, the U.S. Presidential Election is less than a month away. Trump’s America not only finds itself in the grip of a deadly pandemic but is experiencing economic and racial meltdown. To say nothing of the daily Sitcom playing out in the Supreme Court.  Will Trump emerge from his hospital bed weaker or stronger in the eyes of the American people? A tough guy, smack bang in the middle of the cross-hairs of a deadly ...

I can only speak for myself but if I wasn’t a sandwich short of picnic before COVID19, I sure as hell am now! The whole world, including yours truly is still becoming familiar with their new normal. Practicing social distancing and spending more and more time at home. Living 24/7 in my own skin, without the distraction of travel or an overpriced coffee, is a sobering experience. There is only so much of a Netflix addiction I can take and believe me, I can take a lot. It’s not knowing when this pandemic will ease up, that’s let the kangaroos loose in my top paddock. (As they never say in Australia.) You a Cooler King? It’s little wonder that the prison system has for years used social isolation, in the form of solitary confinement, as a form of punishment. In the Great Escape, The Cooler King played by the King of Cool Steve McQueen, was always being thrown into ‘The Hole’. Luckily for him, Zee Germans allowed him to take his baseball and glove with him, otherwise he might have...

The Coronavirus pandemic is always on the lookout for the most vulnerable, in the worst conditions. When these two circumstances align, it doesn’t hesitate to send the grim reaper to harvest innocent souls. Sending red lines on graphs shooting upward, at acute angles on news programmes around the world. Such a situation occurred recently in Brazil. A meat packing plant, full of indigenous workers with little access to clean water and health services. BOOM! COVID19’s ship had truly come in! South America’s U.S.A.? Brazil’s death toll is flying faster than the great Jairzinho going down the wing. Surpassing 21,000, its consistently clocking up deaths of over a thousand on a daily basis. Indigenous leaders aren’t sure of how many of this total, are from their community, as indigenous names aren’t always used when being admitted to hospital. Brazil zoomed past Russia, in total infections (330,890) behind the Big Daddy of the COVID19 pandemic, the United States. We’ll Meat Again!...
