How is the corona virus affecting you?

Well, the Trump Rally was supposed to draw 200,000 people -- in a 19,000 person arena. Seems the arena is only about half full, and some people are wearing masks, which were not required (or suggested).

But his supporters are still 100-percent behind him. When you are a true believer, facts don't matter. I'm thinking George Orwell is looking down and having a good laugh at us.

I watched on CNN this morning. Farcical to say the least!

I read that all supporters had to sign a disclaimer before they were allowed in, absolving the organisers of any responsibility if they became infected.

The idiot-in-chief refuses to accept responsibility for his actions and any negative consequences, it's his MO.

There are those who still say that Trump was put in the office of President by God. I would have to suggest that God has spent the last four years dropping hint after hint that Donald definitely wasn't his pick.

I was under the impression that God was too busy helping golfers to win tournaments than bothering with trivia like elections.

The part with folks attending that rally that flummoxed me is that several were on camera, telling various news outlets that this whole thing is "just a hoax" and that they proudly refuse to wear a mask, that it represents a loss of freedom...well, what does it mean to then turn right around and get into a line to have your temperature taken before you can get in, something mandated by the event organizer? How is one a loss of personal freedom, and the other is a-ok?

Back on Coronavirus, I have just watched Trump telling the crowd that he asked his officials to slow down testing so there would be fewer cases.

Where do you even start pulling that statement apart?

I gave that a laugh instead of a like, but we need a comedy-tragedy button up there.

The UK government's algorithm for testing statistics:

(No of people tested + no of people tested *2) + 50000 *x

Where x = whatever random number happens to come up on our random number generator on that day.

For those outside the UK. When testing for covid-19 both a nose and a throat swab are taken. Our government counts that as two tests when boasting about the number of tests completed. Also, if a test is inconclusive and has to be repeated then they count that as two more tests as well. They also count all the random tests completed by research bodies as part of the data gathering process. All a tiny bit dishonest.

There are what...about 60M-70M people in the UK? By the time you're done, you'll be able to boast having tested about 225M people. You all are going to lead the world!

Politicians? Dishonest?

I remember reading about a woman in Italy who had tested positive from a nose swab and was in quarantine for several weeks. She developed conjunctivitis. When she was retested, her nose swab was negative but they tested her eye fluids and they were positive. I found that interesting (and horrifying).

I have mentioned Dr John Campbell before, he only talks in known facts and research. Today's video has him collating the latest known data on symptoms. It's a long watch, but very informative.

Indeed, we often hear the terms 'world class' and 'world beating' from Bozo and his sycophants. World class ineptitude, for sure. And making a powerful bid to wipe out a higher percentage of the population than any other country moves us towards world beating.
