Corona bologna, sliced extra thick

Right off the top, let's pause for a moment of silence out of respect for the front-line doctors and nurses who risk their lives every day saving us from this plague.

While we're at it, let's also observe a moment of silence out of respect for the quarter million Americans who die every year due to medical malpractice


There's a little church right beside the Subway on the main street of Wiarton. I happened to park in front of it the other day while the Farm Manager went in to get us a meatball sub, which the dog got most of. They have a sign in front of the church, the Community of Christ I think it's called, outlining the themes of the Sunday sermons for the month of March. There's nothing after March 29, because by then the church was locked down. Theme for the last sermon: "Breathe on me oh breath of God."

You'd think that under the circumstances, the least God could do is wear a mask...


Have you noticed the recent up-tick in anti-China propaganda in our news media? You can't leaf through a Globe and Mail without finding multiple stories about how those despicable commies are working overtime to undermine our sacrosanct "liberal Western values." It's the same story on major news platforms across the Nations of Virtue, from The Australian to the CBC, BBC, France 24, Deutsche Welle, The Guardian, and others. They're obviously singing in unison from the same page in the hymnal of Western virtue.

The anti-China hysteria is especially virulent in that most virtuous of the Nations of Virtue, the US of A. The phenomenon is most pronounced at Fox News, where the home page at this moment leads with seven separate anti-China stories. Here's the top one; Leaked "Five Eyes" dossier on alleged China coronavirus coverup consistent with US findings, officials say.

The four non-US nations in the "Five Eyes" are of course also known as "Uncle Sam's Bumboy Club." The only thing that would ever be remotely newsworthy about them is if they were to contradict Uncle Sam. They have approximately the same degree of independence from US dominance as East Germany had from the USSR before the Iron Curtain opened up. Maybe less.

The richest country in the world, with the allegedly finest medical care in the world, is desperate to fob the blame for its egregiously inept handling of the pandemic off on someone else, and its main strategic rival ticks a lot of boxes.


Everything is China's fault!
