Coronavirus Update - UK Update 1 - Health


Lets Get Real:

The UK Government should be ready to close down, Schools, Universities, limit gatherings of under five thousand that has been done abroad, STOP the football season, and other public events.  The Government better be tough NOW and get the critical review out of the way, if it saves one life, so be it.   The UK Government has taken its time, when compared to the rest of Europe, of course it might be following medical advice, one hopes that the US and the UK is following the advice of the experts.   It is not a time to panic, no rushing to buy foods or toilet rolls, we are not at death's door yet!! NO PANIC. 

Taliban to attack Afghan Forces ONLY! - Afghan Peace Deal

BBC News: Reports " The Taliban said they would resume fighting Afghan forces, but would not target international troops.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus a few days ago, POTUS was celebrating a peace deal with the Taliban that would END the longest War for the US.  It seems that POTUS has not gotten the Afghan President on side ( ironic, that is one of the themes of the new Homeland series ) The Afghan President must know that once the US and the its Allies leave Kabul and Afghanistan the Taliban will try to roll in, thus the opposition to the Taliban would be killed.   The Afghan President and Government thus need to keep the US in country and fighting the Taliban and other terror forces.   As has been said, it is easy to get in to WAR, not so easy to get out, no one wants another Saigon of 1975, that last chopper out.  Tense times ahead for Afghanistan.
