"This IS The Global Reset. Prepare Accordingly." - The Corbett Report via The Titanic Lifeboat Academy A few short weeks ago I made the claim (or words to the effect) that COVID-19 is unlikely to be the catalyst for a global economic meltdown but would help to bring such an event into focus and perhaps...

Beware of Idiots
"Perth man jailed for coronavirus quarantine breach after repeatedly sneaking out of hotel" - Australia ABC News The world is full of idiots. Sadly most of them do not prominently wear the obligatory Idiot Displayable Identification Order Tag so they are not usually recognisable - although close inspection of their actions, or listening to what...

Staying Up With The Times
Just a quick note to say that it looks like tomorrow's COVID-19 reporting will be saying that the global total for coronavirus cases has for the first time a seven digit number beginning with a '2'. It is less than 2 weeks since that total even got a seventh digit. I have little doubt that... Continue Reading →
Looking Back to Look Forward – When All Is Ruin
"Ruin Nation" - Kunstler There is an undeniable poignancy about Kunstler's post today. A pictorial look-back at what America used to be and, inevitably, what it has become - a nation in ruin. Of course this is not a situation exclusively restricted to the US. Similar scenes can be seen throughout the Western empire, but... Continue Reading →
Blatant Stupidity
"Victorians report feeling 'intimidated' by police enforcing coronavirus shutdown measures" - ABC News Poor souls.

Police have been told to target "blatant" breaches of physical-distancing directives. Well, I have a message for... Continue Reading →

In different apsects of the same theme, Kunstler this week rambles on - mostly good... Continue Reading →
The Virus – A Personal View Update
I have been quiet for the last few days, mostly observing, reading, or playing Black Desert Online and self isolating in my own home. For me life hasn't changed much under COVID-19 restrictions. In the last few months I have only left home once a week to do essential shopping and I still do that... Continue Reading →
“…the only means of fighting a plague is common decency”
"...there’s no question of heroism in all this. It’s a matter of common decency. That’s an idea which may make some people smile, but the only means of fighting a plague is common decency." - Dr Rieux in Albert Camus' The Plague ...of course a little pre-planning in anticipation of such event doesn't go astray....

The Virus – Waiting For Change In Pattern – Estimation Not Required
I'm kind of over the reporting of coronavirus until something changes in the pattern. I took a break yesterday in hopes that it would. But apart from the totals still rising, nothing has altered significantly in the structure of the outcomes.  We are still on track for a 2 million reported cases in around another...
