Another great insightful post by James Howard Kunstler - 'The Great Conundrum'. He's a man of vision, and don't we need that just now. Nothing is ever going to be the same again. I've said that myself before. But the broken and breaking things we are most likely to try to mend after COVID-19 has... Continue Reading →
COVID-19 News, April 26, 2020
I have not forgotten about COVID-19, I was just waiting for the 3 million cases mark to arrive. It has advanced as expected (on April 19 I suggested it would take just over a week with a day or two still to go and the current total being ~2.86 million) but not quite there yet. ...

In the last few months I have only left home once a week to do essential shopping and I still do that... Continue Reading →
COVID-19 News April 4, 2020

Another day passed and another milestone exceeded. I'm going to include an image again today, from Worldometers, showing the latest global COVID-19 figures, as of this writing. Now more than three quarters of a million diagnosed cases of COVID-19 have been registered; deaths are on the way to 38,000 and the death rate has risen... Continue Reading →
