Strange Days Indeed

What with the global pandemic now being declared by WHO (World Health Organization) over the coronavirus (COVID-19) that started out in China and was kept hush hush by their communist government as the doctor who discovered it eventually was muzzled about it and then later died from it, things are definitely going full tilt in this world of ours.
Here in the United States, Trump just continues to flounder around as to what to do about this "hoax" as he describes it.
Well, it has been revealed today that award winning actor Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson have tested positive for the coronavirus while in Australia. Also, Rudy Gobert of the NBA's Utah Jazz has also been dubbed as positive. As a result of Gobert, the NBA is suspending the season effective immediately following the Wednesday league games.
The NCAA's March Madness is also in jeopardy of folding up for this year as they will not allow spectators into the arenas in the coming weeks.  
You know damn well that the National Hockey League and Major League Baseball will follow suit in the coming days as things continue to spiral out of control with this latest viral strand.
It's about the prevention of spreading this virus even further than it already has in this country.
Italy is in complete lock down because of this virus.
Think about that. 
A few years back during the Barack Obama Administration, the ebola outbreak as well as the H1N1 swine flu (remember those) epidemic caused quite a stir here in the U.S., but that was nothing compared to what's going on these days.
Sad fact is Trump and his inept administration have dropped the ball on this whole thing that was known back in November of last year as China was dealing with it.
The Trump administration ignored it and also cut back on the funding for the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) to make things even worse.
And just today, the REPUBLICAN led U.S. Senate BLOCKED paid emergency sick leave for Americans due to the coronavirus.

How sick and twisted are those people ?
Who would do that?
Kentucky republican senate majority leader MITCH  McCONNELL and his cohorts . . . that's who!

Just remember this when the elections are held (maybe) this November.
Vote them all out of office.

But knowing Trump and all the other bastards from the GOP, they will probably try and declare a state of emergency and cancel said elections so they can maintain power in this country and fuck things up even more than they already have.

God help us all.
