COVID - 19, 2nd Wave ? - COVID - 19, Update 1 - Health/Economy


Lets Get Real:

Let's recall that it was the 2nd wave of the Spanish Flu in 1918 that was more deadly than the first wave, so the UK Government is right to be concerned about another wave.  This blog has argued for a 2nd national lockdown for the whole of the UK, if lives are the main matter, then we have to take the economic hit, and it will be a massive economic hit, like nothing we have ever seen before, well no one alive.  The UK should lockdown for three months, in that period we should get a vaccine and then we can get the Country going, otherwise we could lose thousands more lives.  It will not be an easy decision by the PM.  The Country is coming out of the 1st wave, pubs indoors are just going to open in  Wales and what about the food voucher by the Chancellor, the economic hit could be BIG for a 2nd lockdown. 

What is TRUMP's Game Plan for 2020 - US Presidential Election November 2020


Lets Get Real:

The game plan for POTUS is easy to understand, he has worked out that he is going to lose, and wants to undermine a Biden victory.  Trump knows that he can not change the election date, the Democrats in Congress will never go for it, thus he is going to use the Russian investigation that the Democrats used to cripple his Administration against them, he hopes to have a Republican Congress do pointless investigations and then run against Biden in 2024.   It has been predicted that the US economy will not return to normal in till 2024, thus allow Trump to build another base for another run.  The idea of a delay of the above will drive the Democrats nuts, as the article notes the Democrats on Hill have been highly critical of the idea, this what Trump does best, he should never have been President, he was not planning to win in 2016, he just wanted a spring board to start his own TV Station, winning was the last thing that Trump wanted.  Thus Trump knows NOW, that he will join the ranks of Hoover, Carter, and Bush 41 as Presidents who only served one term.
