THE VIRUS GAME RULES

yo!... america first innit... !


in palookaville today...

there are shortages...

masks, ventilators, protective gowns, brains, integrity...


LATE TO THE GAMES

those who came late to the games...

have started without the kit...

it's vital that those...

who play the game...

have the right protection...

but also that all teams...


FOLLOW THE RULES


the virus game rules...

are there for your protection...

for fair play and player safety...

if the players foul...

the crowd may...

invade the pitch...

and that could mean...

relegation...

trade penalties...

banned from meetings...

egg on faces


UNGENTLEMANLY CONDUCT


rumour has it that...

palookaville's great policeman...

has usurped german police masks...

out bidding, out gouging, tripping and shoving...

are not within the virus game rules...



CHEATERS DON'T WIN


already late to the game...

and without the correct kit...

the world's policeman...

is playing catch up...

with somebody else's masks.. 


VENTILATORS NEXT?


once this kind of behaviour starts...

the games will go down hill...

soon it will be every man for herself...

mob rule, failing states, banarama...


THERE ARE NO VIRUS GAME RULES 


The name "The Virus Game Rules" refers to...

 the list of rules that the migrant workers...

 are supposed to follow at palookaville stadium...

 however, none of them can read, and they are completely unaware of the rules...


When Homer reads them the rules of the virus games...

  that have been posted...

 the workers observe that the rules have been made without their consent...

 by people who do not live there...

  and so do not face their problems...

 Consequently, they feel that they can ignore these rules.


RULES ARE FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE 

yo!... fuck you... innit? 










BOTTOM FALLS OUT OF THE SKY

yo!... mr robot...innit!


palookaville hacker...

elliot ness...

has hacked the globalised world...

he looks like homer simpson...

but stings like a bee


THE BOTTOM FELL OUT OF THE TOP


although the...

sell everything moment

is over for now...

  • Investors should be buying individual stocks, not indexes because there is still more coronavirus-driven volatility ahead, economist Mohamed El-Erian told CNBC.
  •  
  • “If you feel it’s the all clear, go out and buy the index ... I don’t think we’re there yet,” the chief economic advisor at Allianz said on “Squawk Box.” 
  •  
  • El-Erian said investors should sell companies that could go bankrupt and buy those with “rock-solid balance sheets.”

people in palookaville are binge watching mr. robot...

the collapse of evil corps...

is like a blck mirror of...

the virus games...


DISTOPIAN POST-APOCALYPSE NOW


soup kitchen, trash onna streets...

banks bust, money worthless...

e-coin...

an eerie similarity pervades...

we sit at home like...

the lady of shalott...

watching events through a mirror...

darkly
 

COMING UP


when will there be masks?

casino fedrale

defence of the realm

world wide clap

humpty dumpty

officer krupky

social disease

how many bullets to stop the virus

I see no ships






HAVE VIRUS WILL TRAVEL

yo!... only game in town... innit!


the sun shines down on palookaville...

an a folks like ta go outside...

maybe some lak ta visit a seaside...

even though a shops is shut...

amusements on hold...

cafes closed...

beach closed...


GO THE SOCIAL DISTANCE


don't go the extra mile...



THE VIRUS GAME


is the only game in town...

all other games are off...

it's games over for football...

games over fo olympics...

games over fo basketball, baseball,

what evva


GREAT WALL OF CHINA


the chinese are favourite to win a games...

well they invented them...

they were first up to bat...

and by all accounts...

played a blinder...

knocked a virus fo six innit...

some say the didn't play the game...

not with a straight bat...

only they can telll


anyway...

the great wall was breached anna virus...

flew around the world...

kicking off the world series...


TRAINS AN BOATS AN PLANES


now every country playing by it's own rules...

no referee...

china takes an early bath...

retired but not out...


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


go home palookas...

you are not wanted here...

virus invisiblity...

tarnishes all travellers... 

traveling is public enemy number one...

we cannot even agree on how to spell it!

WHEN WILL THERE BE MASKS?

yo!... self defense...innit!


in palookaville today...

we plan ahead...

we saw this coming...

and set our defenses up...


HOW MANY BULLETS MUST A STRONG COUNTRY HAVE


before we all are safe?


HOW MANY BULLETS

to stop the virus?


HOW MANY GUNS


to cure this plague?


HOW MANY AIRPLANES ?


...wait a minute aren't airplanes...

part of the problem...

maybe they are the problem...


THE 9/11 VIRUS


airplanes turn into missiles...

crash into skyscrapers...

they fly in the virus...

from all around the world... 


THE DEFENCE BUDGET


just got bigger here in palookaville...

an don't forget the agencies...

FBI, ICE, DEA, HOMELAND... etc.

can any of these stop the virus...

can they even wound the virus?


WHEN WILL WE HAVE MASKS?

all that they need?


VIRUS KILLS : BULLETS DON'T WORK



CHINA SYNDROME

once upon a time in beijing...

a small guy inna white shirt...

carryin shoppin bags...

stood in front of a line of tanks...

brave guy...

gone guy


later...

some time last fall...

a descendant maybe...

goes to see the emperor...

to tell him about the new killer...

breathing virus

was prevented by goons...

and given a lesson...


Li Wenliang is among the 14 health workers and police declared to be “martyrs” for their efforts. The Chinese doctor was reprimanded by authorities for “spreading rumours” after he sought to warn colleagues about the emergence of Covid-19 in December, but in March an investigation into his death exonerated Li and recommended the reprimand be withdrawn.


soon after this...

the new virus...

catcha airplane ta palookaville...

and then onto...

the rest of the world


VIRUS MUTATES


after many thousands of people become sick...

the virus mutates into... 


A DEBT VIRUS

as debt is already killing the world economy...

this is not a good time at all

hundreds of billions more created...

from nowhere

GERMANY 5   ENGLAND NIL


On Feb 25, when much of Europe still believed it could avoid the coronavirus crisis, news broke that a 47-year-old man had tested positive in Germany.
As authorities raced to track anyone the sick man had been in contact with, a terrifying picture emerged. He had spent the previous 10 days at carnival celebrations where he could have infected hundreds of people.
But experts now agree Germany did one crucial thing right at that moment. It started testing everyone who had been in contact with the infected man.
Little more than a month later, Germany is now testing around 500,000 of its citizens every week.
Britain, meanwhile, is lagging far behind, with only around 8,000 people tested per day.
