Just to finish ...

Market closed not good here. Better than expected in some ways.

USA fed came out and said basically its MONEY for anyone and everyone. UNLIMITED.

I did watch Trumps 1 hr 34 min ramble.

If anything, I hold grave concern for his delusions as he blamed everyone else and ... well USA in some states is still not testing ... not isolating and one called Texas has 29 million people.

Not testing and actually saying they will not due to lack of capacity and levels at sub 20% of any G20 nation that is developed, is .... concerning if not terrifying.

This will not be over tomorrow ... for the USA ... I wish the best, but a delusional leader who spoke for 14 minutes about the billions he could have made, 4 mins about his wife and attacked the press and so on ... ROME is alight .... burning and chest thumping and hot air sadly dont change CV19 or science.

Texas has at most 150 ventilators and USA the lowest ratio of hospital beds per population of any developed nation.

Spending the vast majority patting himself and ME ME ME ... still no package and the USA people 70% have less than $400- for an emergency, their need ... is DIRE. EXTREME ...

The package the Republican senate tried to pass gave massive tax cuts to the rich, support to business and NOT a hell of a lot to the people. It was rightly rejected even in these dire times. The second one gave HALF the support if you were low income than someone on middle income GOT .... again ... rejected.

Meanwhile .... isolation message in the USA is well MIXED and ... testing whilst up a lot, WE at 8% the size have done MORE tests in total.

Till USA has tested over a million ... or more given the slow response, and isolates ... distances and supports, the ... well ... in dire trouble.

Did I need to hear how Trump believe how the American people love and respect his wife, Ivanka .... whoops  Mikaninannan .... for 3 minutes during what was a speech I expected to see white froth in the corners of his mouth.

In short ... unless orange fake tan works .... against a virus, sadly the road in coming weeks is going to be tough. That they clearly .... clearly buggered the numbers early our time today on reporting cases ... I shared the screed shots and one does not go from 39,000 reported infections to 31,000 in 30 minutes ...

Ahhh

As for VP Mike Pence ... his only contribution was prayers and a glassy look on his face.

Whilst not a fan of PM Morrison but understanding his need to read the riot act to stop the spread ,,,, and his absurd 12 months contradicting his best scientist by a factor of 2 .... that's better than the USA version of it with 3 TIMES as many identified per million infected as Australian ... and having tested a mere 25% of people. AND ITS RUNNING low ... for now on capacity to test.

Think about that .... will the virus pause as ...  they test the other 75% ? Not spread .... requiring even more testing to halt the spread ? All while the Dictator keeps people waiting for an hour and half then rambles ... for another 90 minutes.

USA ... may go up ... tonight ... however ... this virus doesn't really care for hot air. ISOLATE ... IDENTIFY and TREAT ....

NONE of it ... is working there. Whilst they may choose NOT to report any new cases or halve them ... I am not sure a virus has feelings ... much like the current president of the USA.

I to be honest am astounded, upset and terrified by this person and his leadership. Wait 2 weeks to pass judgement and no amount of whiteout will work.

Chilling. Meanwhile ... ME ME ME ME ME 147 times ... I I I I over and over ...
