monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

You mean "What it's like to have an island with 5 million people who can live under an authoritarian rule."

Very few countries in the world would be able to emulate what New Zealand did and it will be interesting to see their economy a year from now.

Trump’s attacks on Fauci and other experts reinforce that he’d rather Americans be confused than concerned

The Moral Busybodies Strike Again

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive,” C.S. Lewis wrote. “It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

Fauci said at the time he made certain earlier statements that the situation may change.

America’s Useful Idiots

“Useful idiots” is a phrase attributed to Vladimir Lenin, who supposedly used it to describe communist sympathizers in Western Civilization.

It is a very appropriate descriptor when it comes to the so-called “woke” mob of the so-called “resistance” that has overtaken the streets of America. Well, let me rephrase that: They have overtaken the streets of major population centers in America. The infestation of wokeness and idiocy seems concentrated in the very places where progressive socialist policies have failed in America.

Consider the idiocy of a city in Colorado that is incarcerating people who do not wear a mask. Yet these same leftists claimed that criminals had to be released from incarceration due to the threat of COVID-19. Or consider the idiocy of going into the home of private citizens and confiscating their weapon, their right to keep and bear arms, for no apparent reason, other than they defended their property, safety, and security against the invasion of the “woke” mob -- the useful idiots.

Reopen schools or give me my school money back. Children DO NOT pass on Coronavirus. Not ONE case ever.

What are you going to do next, chide him for school shootings?

Did Fauci get things wrong?

In February, Dr Fauci did not advise Americans change their behaviour due to the pandemic, but he did note the situation was evolving.

During an interview with the Today morning programme on 29 February, Dr Fauci said: "Although the risk is low now, you don't need to change anything you're doing, when you start to see community spread, this could change."

Why didn't Germany lock down it's borders like New Zealand did Walter?

"Although the risk is low now, you don't need to change anything you're doing, when you start to see community spread, this could change."
