Hi Hasbeen

Before you say ABC here's one about your idol mate:

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-10/coronavirus-triggers-struggle-between-donald-trump-and-china/12138772

By Washington bureau chief David Lipson, today

"Yesterday in America, 1,940 people died from coronavirus. In a single day, 31,935 new infections were recorded.

I personally know five people who have been told they have COVID-19.

Only one of them was able to get a test and it came back inconclusive.

The rest were told by their doctors "don't bother" because there weren't enough test kits to go around.

On the testing front, things have improved greatly in recent weeks, but not everywhere.

A New York ambulance paramedic told the ABC this week tests were still hard to come by, even for frontline health workers.

And yet, since the start of the crisis, the President has boasted about America's testing capacity.

"Anyone who needs a test gets a test … and they're beautiful," Donald Trump said during a tour of the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.

That was five weeks ago.

In New York, things are looking so dire that workers are being asked to don protective gear as they dig mass graves on Hart Island in the Bronx."

The author is so ignorant why would anyone listen to him? He babbled about Last century there were three flu pandemics. The 1918 one killed more than all the wars in the 20th century put together and he did not know that? The man is a fool and how these doughnuts get published never mind paid for the junk they write amazes me.
Oh yes there was also 1957 1.1 million and 1968 1 million. At no stage were there any lock downs in 1957 0r 68 and even in 1918 did the sort of nonsense we have allowed ourselves to be subjected was attempted.
Idiot Andrews and his serious "If it saves one life"? Well that will be what he says when he starts on stealing more of our money!

Waited a while before commenting on this. In the midst of what is going on, with Cha-ina opening the floodgates form Wuhan, while we can clearly see they have been hiding the real figures and twisting the WHO to delay pandemic declaration...etc. Authors like this probably mean well, but like the woe fall ABC, that we pay $1billion per annum for, their radically left-wing producers and their puppet "opinionated news show hosts,.. he is contributing nothing. Listen to the Chief Medical officer and two deputies, forget the rest of the drivel out their.. its just confusing, opinion and often dangerously wrong.

Never since world war 2, has the phrase/slogan " Loose lips cost live!"!

Time was lost!

The Italian crisis started, we're told, with a single non-symptomatic, Chinese tour who was welcomed with open arms along with his pocketbook!

Their disastrous outcome, due to the time they lost before getting a handle on it AND NOT LISTENING TO THE SCIENCE!

We precious decades not listening to the science on climate change, some of which may be related to this pandemic?

We know when humankind first climbed out of the trees, the percentage of oxygen in the air was around 51%? Nowadays around 20% or less than half?

Some municipalities still use oxygen to sanitise town water, given its ability to kill known pathogens/many viruses?

And an atmosphere with more than twice our current percentage of oxygen would likely do likewise? Once we start to draw down the CO2 levels and replace them with oxygen from traditional sources!

And means, unless we want even more contagious pathogens to threaten whole economies and livelihoods, we need to transition away from fossil fuels without delay!

Good news is, doing just that and now, with the right energy paradigm and economic plan, will not just jump-start stalled economies and livelihoods, but put them into warp speed overdrive! I kid you not!

However, my bet is, conflicted pollies and leaders owned by various oil, coal and gas oligarchs, will want to go back to business as usual and return to the madness that brought his pandemic to our doorstep!

I HOPE BEYOND HOPE THEY WILL PROVE ME WRONG AND CONTINUE WITH THE CURRENT LEVEL OF COOPERATION TO TURN THIS TITANIC OF A DISASTER AROUND BEFORE WE SMASH INTO THAT ICEBERG OF A CLIMATE DISASTER, WHILE WE STILL HAVE A LITTLE TIME!

And with, a, there's no time to lose urgency! And with it done? Also, create massive wealth and retire all current debt via COOPERATIVE CAPITALISM and the massive economic growth we'd create! ANY OF YOU (deaf and blind) TROGOLYTES HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT OR PERSONAL WEALTH/OPPORTUNITIES?

Time really is of the essence and in so many ways and on so many fronts!
