Read More As usual Señor ‘U’onson and his incompetent team of political hacks make a mess in responding to the new COVID-19 strain in a way that isolates the UK entirely from Europe and many other countries; why jump the gun, it’s coming naturally in January 2021 just wait for it naturally… The […]

Read More Yesterday I was listening to the government briefing about the virus and I have to tell you non of the team projects any confidence whatsoever. Come to think of it how could the team that started off late in facing up to this pandemic – costing thousands of lives in […]
Read More A very interesting interview that I thought to share with Jens Spahn, Germany’s health minister explaining how Germany so far has managed to keep mortality rate from the Coronoavirus so low – hopefully this will continue to get even lower.
