So it's Saturday once more and the pandemic is death's gift that just keeps on giving with no end in sight, but let's just check in on what's bee happening.
Firstly in to America we venture. Trump is sitting safe in his big whitehouse of the people while fellow Americans are abused and dying without him lifting a finger to stop it. Trump has vowed not to order Americans to wear masks to contain the spread of coronavirus and continues on his path to reopen the country no matter the cost to the people. His comments came after the country's top infectious disease expert, Dr Anthony Fauci, urged state and local leaders to be "as forceful as possible" in getting people to wear masks who openly stated that it is "really important" and "we should be using them, everyone". as the issue gains momentum as a political statement the majority of state governors have now ordered that the wearing of masks outdoors be mandatory, rather than a personal choice. Among them are Republican governors, including Kay Ivey of Alabama, who have reversed their initial opposition to the mandates. What is rather upsetting here is that Trump is once again going against the countries top scientific advisor just to play his re-election games not really caring how many people catch the virus and die.
Then on the other side of the argument is the continuing protests for justice in a number of what are now been classed as police authorised murders of innocent people just because they are either black or against the police oppressive tactics which is been highly publicised on social media which is what prompted Trump to authorise armed officers of the government to silence protesters by any means possible. Examples of Trumps oppression comes as Oregon Governor Kate Brown has accused US federal agents in unmarked cars who have apparently detained protesters in Portland of a "blatant abuse of power". These so called federal officers,(more like gestapo storm-troopers) deployed by President Donald Trump, have also fired tear gas and less-lethal munitions into crowds of demonstrators. In response Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum stated that the state justice department was filing a lawsuit against the federal government over the detention of protesters "without probable cause" who Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf is calling a "violent mob" not peaceful protesters.
The question that should be being asked, is if these so called federal officers are not wearing any department insignia's, name tags or official identification and are using unregistered and unmarked governmental vehicles how are the public supposed to respect them, for all anyone knows these fully armed and tactical outfitted people could well be illegal militia or KKK members driving around picking up innocent black civilians for torture or even death. Surely there is a federal law been broken when gangs of armed unrecognisable government officials are conducting manoeuvres on the streets of American cities with no oversight in place except Trump appointed lackey's. It is gross neglect on the part of the administration and those idiots that support this style of gestapo and KGB tactics bringing in to fact that a gross violation of the people to assert their constitutional First Amendment rights to protest peacefully, and also creates a more volatile situation on the streets of America which trump is turning in to what resembles images from places like China, Russia, North Korea and Nazi controlled Europe.
That's enough about comrade Trump for today, let's check in on comrade Johnson in dear old Blighty and check out what he has being doing.So Johnson's new plan is to have restrictions eased further in England with a "significant return to normality" by Christmas, a time when scientists have predicted a possible increase in cases. His new guidelines state that people may use public transport for journeys immediately, while advice for employers will change from the 1st August. He also stated that companies will have more discretion to bring staff back to workplaces if it is safe to do so as the government is "hoping for the best and planning for the worst", but all plans are to "remain conditional" dependent on the continued progress in controlling the virus and preventing a second wave of infections that could overwhelm the NHS. Devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have the power to set their own timings for the easing of restrictions meaning they get to have a perfectly competent leader make the decisions while us poor schmucks in England are controlled by a fop headed buffoon which really makes me consider moving north of the border very soon, as I cannot live in a country governed by a temper tantrum public schoolboy.
On the back of Johnson's statement, it has been reported that the health secretary has called for an urgent review into how coronavirus deaths have been recorded in England which follows confirmation from Public Health England that reported deaths may have included people who tested positive months before they died while other UK nations only include those who die within 28 days of a positive test as claims that the lack of a cut-off date may distort the current daily deaths number. To date there have been 40,528 deaths linked to the virus in England which is a staggering amount, but what I don't get is does it really matter when the death occurred as surely a death from the virus is still a death no matter how long that person took to die, isn't this just the governments way of trying to lessen the death toll for their own benefit so as they don't look anymore inept than they already do over their handling of the pandemic and this comes on the same day that the NHS and world war two hero, Captain Thomas Moore was made a knight of the realm showing what a true British hero is, compared to those other so called idiots that try to run the country, at least he stood tall for yet another cause which no MP in this present government can honestly say they have done. On that I will call it a day on my ranting.
Rant you tomorrow!
