Sunday covid 19 update : I’m finding the world terribly interesting right now
Short rant this week. Skip this blog entry if you’re here for the gardening guff.
In my FB feed there is a cattle rancher in Alaska who is berating their fellow Americans to ‘man up’ and ignore this SOCIALLY TRANSMITTED disease.
A guy sitting in a truck, in a field surrounded by cows, in the middle of America's third least populated state, is telling people in New York to ignore the pandemic!
He also wants you to buy more local beef. Unfortunately meat processing factories happen to be ideal Covid super spreaders so they're closed.
Plenty of raw product is standing in fields all over the country, and the public have not lost their taste for animal flesh. Consequently prices are skyrocketing.
He reckons it’s a conspiracy to ruin him.
The Neo-Luddite movement is really ramping up. It will fail in the end, as it has in the past. Because science is power. And more power is always attractive.
My latest theory on why some govt. are doing better than others….
There are lots of reasons why some countries are navigating the ‘Covid event’ much more smoothly…
How easy is it to close borders? What sort of healthcare system do they have? How much testing are they doing? Are they ‘the lucky country’?
Some people that get the ‘top job’ didn’t actually want to ‘govern’.
They want the pomp, the prestige, the potential to increase personal wealth.
What they didn’t want was to do the very hard job of managing a nation.
