On July 29, 2020 there were 17 million cumulative registered cases of COVID-19 around the world. Take a few deep breaths and just 4 days later there are now 18 million cases. Is that concerning? How many million would there need to be for the situation to become concerning in the west (which is where... Continue Reading →
Are You an Anti-China Trump’s Chump?
So you still think that the coronavirus associated with COVID-19 originated in China? You think the World Health Organisation (WHO) somehow, as a result of its affinity for China, misled or misadvised the world about the disease? You think that Doctor Trump was right or even in a position to hold an opinion on that... Continue Reading →
Is It Really A First Past The Post Thing? Why?
Russia announces its first COVID-19 vaccine is now ready, having passed clinical trials in two separate tests on diverse groups of volunteers. "Russia’s first COVID-19 vaccine ready, deputy defense minister says" - TASS See also: "Volunteers participating in Russia’s COVID-19 vaccine trials develop antibodies" - TASS Coincidentally (or is it?) the UK's Oxford University also...

COVID-19 – A Contrast of Ideologies
Why is there such a world of difference in the effects of the coronavirus pandemicised as COVID-19 across the nations and regions of the world? Shouldn't such an outbreak, assuming it is the same disease everywhere, produce similar responses in different populations of the same species wherever they are? And why would the death rate...

A Heart-Warming Story Amid COVID-19 Chaos
I don't often get the opportunity to share a human interest story - there is so much lack of humanity or even inhumanity rife in our world - but this story particularly moved me and restored at least some confidence that there are still good people both among the more privileged and the less fortunate...

Mid-year Point
Where I am it has just passed midnight on the June 30, July 1 boundary and, while I didn't catch it exactly, here are the current Worldometers statistics for global population. https://www.worldometers.info Net population growth in the last six months (first 6 of 2020), is a little over 40.5 million. I guess we can knock... Continue Reading →
Is The Disintegration of Western Society Going Fast Enough for You?
Have the events taking place so far in this pivotal year of 2020 left you so shell-shocked, numb and confused that you can't even think back to how things were at the end of 2019, before COVID-19 placed a few more nails in the coffin lid of WESTSOC? I just made up that WESTSOC acronym... Continue Reading →
Potentially Final COVID-19 Update
I haven't updated on COVID-19 for a while. There no longer seems much point in doing so. Any pattern there was in the data - the reported data I should add - no longer exists. Is that suspicious? I should say so. The images below tell the story. The world today passed the 7 million... Continue Reading →
