The NEXT Phase of COVID - 19 - Update 2 - Health

Guardian: Reports " PM will announce modest changes to UK lockdown, says Raab...Foreign secretary urges people to follow physical distancing guidance over bank holiday weekend "

Lets Get Real:

It will be interesting to see over this hot weekend how many people follow the rules, it's been weeks NOW, since the UK population was told stay in, they need to see light at the end of the tunnel.  One can understand why the PM is being very cautious, he was at death's door and does not want to place anyone else in that  circumstance, on the other hand the economy faces the worse recession since the 18th Century and also we have the BREXIT talks going nowhere, sooner or later the PM has to make people get back to work or there will be no jobs to return too.  It was reported in one of the papers that Pubs will not open in till August, the Country at that rate will become just TEA DRINKERS!!  The PM might have to move faster than he wants to save the UK economy.

Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Period

Daily Mail: Reports " EU Trade Commissioner accuses the UK of gearing up to 'blame everything on coronavirus' as Brexit talks erupt into furious war of words  "

Lets Get Real:

The EU faces something it has not faced before, the UK voted to leave the EU in 2016, and the talks after that stalled because the EU thought they could bully the UK back in the EU.  They still have the same mind set, they must get the FACT that the UK VOTED to leave in 2016 and the 2019 General Election.  PM Boris is BACK NOW, he will not ask for an extension and will not grant one if asked by the EU.  The powers of France and Germany have to get that through their heads or it is pointless in having the talks.  The UK alone is not new, we fight on, we never give up.   The 80 Seat majority by the Conservatives show that the UK voter wants out of the EU, it is a clear message, one has doubts that BBC/Guardian types have gotten that message.

Data from COVID - 19 - Update 1 - Health

Sky News: Reports " Coronavirus deaths in UK reach 30,615 after 539 more die....The latest daily figure from the Department of Health is for COVID-19 related deaths in hospitals, care homes and the community. "

Lets Get Real:

So far the Government has kept to the message of staying home, that will change next week according to Government leaks.   There is an interesting problem faced by the Government, it needs to get the economy moving or we face a GREAT DEPRESSION or worse,  Then Bank of England has stated that it expects the economy to decline by 14%, the sharpest fall since the 18th Century.  But then bound back, the question is who will be out of work, what business will fail, will the big companies slash their workforce to make the business spreadsheet look good.  At the least the Government has a 80 seat majority and has five years to make a recovery.   There is noise from Scotland and Wales that they want to go slower with unlocking the economy, the PM should be firm with them, if they go their own way they pay the cost of keeping business going, from the grant that they get every year.  This is time to be FIRM with the political hacks in Wales and Scotland. 

20% of the American Workforce OUT OF WORK - US Election 2020

BBC News: Reports " Coronavirus: US unemployment claims hit 33.3 million amid virus "

Lets Get Real:

A recent approval poll had President Trump on 43% approval, in all his numbers have not gone down, ONE HAS TO ASK WHY.   The US is heading in to another Great Depression Part 2.  The Biden Campaign should be miles ahead of Trump, it leads in the battleground States but only by a few points.  The former VP must select the right VP choice, it has to be a woman, a fun persona, and ethnic.  If Biden selects the right candidate he has the White House in his hands, pick a wrong one and it could be a disaster.   Let's recall President Hoover was a one termer because it was seen that he had not done enough during the Great Depression, FDR bought with him hope, the US needs HOPE not WOKE.  If Biden losses this election, then it would be a disaster for the US, him winning might not be a great thing, at least he is not Trump.
