FAT LADY NOT SINGIN YET

Virus Growth Uncontrolled

On November 2st the U.S. had a 44% increase in daily COVID-19 to 93,581. The chart below indicates the second wave of infections did not decline to the first wave low. Thus, experts forecast a third winter wave peak of cases will be higher than the second spring wave peak...

Economic Activity Contracts

Unemployment Rises

Personal Income Falls

Consumers Miss Rent and Home Mortgage Payments

Rent and Mortgage Moratoriums Fail

Consumers Use Credit Cards To Make Payments

Small Business Landlords Default on Mortgages

Home Owners Default on Mortgages

Consumer Spending Dives

..For investors, this is the time to prepare for a possible severe economic storm coming this winter. Scott Minerd, Global CIO at Guggenheim, observes that we have a pause now giving us time to prepare for an economic whirlwind:

“the relative calm  we feel in the markets right now isn’t the end of the storm, it is just the eye, it may seem like there is no storm at all…yet the worst is yet to come.”

Here are the daily case:death numbers for November (USA)

so far, 

from worldometer..

Nov 1 Su 71,321:399

Nov 2 M 88,905:522

Nov 3 T 94,463:1199

Nov 4 W 108,352:1200

Nov 5 Th 118,204:1125

Nov 6 F 132,540:1248

Nov 7 Sa 127,894:1035

Nov 8 Su 109,659:544

Nov 9 M 127,316:641

Nov 10 T 135,653:1346

Nov 11 W 142,808:1478

Nov 12 Th 151,033:1090 (so far today)

The trend of new cases is exploding in the US. One only has to compare numbers to a week earlier. Every single day this week the case numbers increased by over 30k compared to 7 days earlier. Hospitalizations are increasing several thousand per day as well. If hospitals fill up like they did during the first wave, the US is going to see some ugly death numbers again.

Trump is still in charge until inauguration day. What is he doing about it? Tweeting, golfing, having tantrums, and firing people.

Worst President ever.

THE VIRUS GAMES

high jinks an capers..

a new virus..

wot nobody evva seen before..

it's the novelty..

that gets the games off..

ta a really fast start..

before ya know it..

little fucker be..

all over a word..

THIS TIME IT'S STARVATION

Katniss Everdeen..

 We all have one enemy, and that’s President Snow..

He corrupts everyone and everything..

He turns the best of us against each other..

IT'S WORSE THAN THAT

 

as if the virus wasn't bad enough..

the mutations are even worse..

for every virus infection..

there are 100 extra casualties..

unemployed, unschooled.. in debt,

gone bust, grounded, stuck in port, mothballed..

but by far the worst collateral damage..

is starvation..

THE WIND IS IN FROM AFRICA

The wind is in from Africa
Last night I couldn't sleep..

Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here dude..
But it's really not my fault..

My fingernails are filthy..

I got nothin ta eat..

I don't have your clean white linen..

nor shoes upon my feat..

Come on down to the closed Cafe..

I will get us a bottle of wine

And we'll laugh and toast to nothing..

and smash our glasses down..

Let's have a round for these hungry children
A round for these friends of mine..

Let's have another round for the virus devil 

that traps us in this tourist town..

‘Starve or get sick’: Africa’s COVID-19 lockdown dilemma

“I give them (the government) one to two weeks before things get worse..

Not in terms of coronavirus, but in terms of hunger,”..

said Kennedy Odede, who runs Shining Hope For Communities (SHOFCO),

a grassroots movement which works in the Nairobi slum Kibera..

and other informal settlements in Kenya.

 

 President Snow..

 Hope. It is the only thing stronger than fear..

 A little hope is effective..

A lot of hope is dangerous.

katniss evergreen..

“They'll be granted immunity!" 

I feel myself rising from my chair..

"You will personally pledge this in front of the entire population..

 of District Thirteen and the remainder of Twelve. Soon,Today..

It will be recorded for future generations..

You will hold yourself and your government responsible for their safety..”

President Snow..

 Miss Everdeen, it is the things we love most that destroy us.

 Effie Trinket..

 Happy Virus Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor.

FORTY SHADES OF GREEN


In Ireland, we consume a great deal of British media.

This means that we’ve been watching..

with growing despair and grief..

 British news reports chronicling a national disaster..

But for weeks now, long before the death rate accelerated..

we’ve been watching and reading your reports with a queasy feeling..

We knew of the measures and plans the Irish government was putting in place to protect us..

and we knew how far..

your government was slipping behind.

When our taoiseach was..

closing our schools and universities,

your prime minister was still telling you to wash your hands..

When our government cancelled St Patrick’s Day celebrations..

 yours allowed the Cheltenham Festival to go ahead..

a potentially massive multi-day super-spreading event of over 250,000 people..

 The contrast was disorientating..

Nowhere was the dissonance more marked than on the weekend before St Patrick’s day..

By that point..

Ireland had banned indoor gatherings of more than 100 people..

but had stopped short of closing the pubs..

A video showing revellers in Temple Bar went viral..

a public outcry ensued; #closethepubs trended on Irish Twitter..

the minister for health commented..

and voluntary pub closures..

began the following morning..


I DRANK IN PETEY LAWLER'S WHILE BILLY STUART SANG

Alone all alone by the wave-washed strand
And alone in a crowded hall

 
The hall it is gay and the waves they are grand
But my heart is not here at all
It flies far away by night and by day

 To the times and the joys that are gone
But I never will forget the sweet maiden I met
In the valley near Slieve Na Mban

coming up..

the crowd is restless...

and will not stay...

off the park...

until ground rules are fully agreed...

the mob will rule... 

THRONE OF GAMES

who will be the winning team?

it looks like taiwan...

"Taiwan rapidly produced and implemented a list of at least 124 action items in the past five weeks to protect public health," report co-author Jason Wang, a Taiwanese doctor and associate professor of pediatrics at Stanford Medicine, said in a statement. 

"The policies and actions go beyond border control because they recognized that that wasn't enough."

This was while other countries were still debating whether to take action. 

In a study conducted in January, Johns Hopkins University said Taiwan was one of the most at-risk areas outside of mainland China -- owing to its close proximity, ties and transport links.

Among those early decisive measures was the decision to ban travel from many parts of China, stop cruise ships docking at the island's ports, and introduce strict punishments for anyone found breaching home quarantine orders.- from cnn

but germany will probably snatch it...

in extra time...

WHAT COMES AROUND

the games are played every several years..

they are not always kicked off in china...

the last really big games was 100 years ago...

and was kicked off in the USA

though for some reason...

they were called the

spanish games...

I SEE NO SHIPS

winners an losers..

but mostly losers...

it's airplanes nil...

cruise lines nil...

navy ships nil...

travel is the biggest losing team

TOURISTS FUCK OFF

Late last night

BAGPIPE MUSIC

It's no go the merry-go-round, it's no go the rickshaw,
All we want is a limousine and a ticket for the peepshow.
Their knickers are made of crepe-de-chine, their shoes are made of python,
Their halls are lined with tiger rugs and their walls with head of bison.

John MacDonald found a corpse, put it under the sofa,
Waited till it came to life and hit it with a poker,
Sold its eyes for souvenirs, sold its blood for whiskey,
Kept its bones for dumbbells to use when he was fifty.

It's no go the Yogi-man, it's no go Blavatsky,
All we want is a bank balance and a bit of skirt in a taxi.

Annie MacDougall went to milk, caught her foot in the heather,
Woke to hear a dance record playing of Old Vienna.
It's no go your maidenheads, it's no go your culture,
All we want is a Dunlop tire and the devil mend the puncture.

The Laird o' Phelps spent Hogmanay declaring he was sober,
Counted his feet to prove the fact and found he had one foot over.
Mrs. Carmichael had her fifth, looked at the job with repulsion,
Said to the midwife "Take it away; I'm through with overproduction."

It's no go the gossip column, it's no go the Ceilidh,
All we want is a mother's help and a sugar-stick for the baby.

Willie Murray cut his thumb, couldn't count the damage,
Took the hide of an Ayrshire cow and used it for a bandage.
His brother caught three hundred cran when the seas were lavish,
Threw the bleeders back in the sea and went upon the parish.

It's no go the Herring Board, it's no go the Bible,
All we want is a packet of fags when our hands are idle.

It's no go the picture palace, it's no go the stadium,
It's no go the country cot with a pot of pink geraniums,
It's no go the Government grants, it's no go the elections,
Sit on your arse for fifty years and hang your hat on a pension.

It's no go my honey love, it's no go my poppet;
Work your hands from day to day, the winds will blow the profit.
The glass is falling hour by hour, the glass will fall forever,
But if you break the bloody glass you won't hold up the weather.

Louis Macneice

	Malcolm Evison (9/16/2005 9:59:00 AM)
	Humorous as it may be with regards to Class and social mores, flirtations with theosophy etc., one is brought up with a start... the realization that this was written in 1937 and, the more specific social unrest in Spain and Germany... the fall of the glass is unstoppable!
