MexiCOVID

There is a coronavirus story that is not being told in the national media ... and that is that Mexico is one of the hottest spots in the world. Its cases, at 324 thousand, now top Spain (306 thousand) and italy (244 thousand). And its deaths, at 38 thousand, also top Spain (24 thousand) and Italy (35 thousand). Even Mexico’s new deaths so far today (668) are almost half the total for the whole world (1,481)!

Is the light starting to dawn ... why the Southwest of the United States might also be having a spike in new COVID cases and even a blip in new deaths? One would think that a good reporter (or the CDC) in this area of our country might investigate this further to see how many of our new cases there are actually border crossers ... ex-pats and Mexican workers attracted by our superior medical facilities?

The King's Lisp

I think it was the king of Spain. He had a lisp. So, after a spell, it became fashionable for all of his subjects to emulate this lisp ... which, I understand, they still do to this day for certain Spanish words. Such are the quirksof  fashion and its strange consequences  (powdered wigs and cod pieces?)

I think we see this phenomenon today in the United States. President Trump likes to belittle and give nicknames to his foes. So, what the result? The discourse, particularly among out media, has sunk to a new low. And yet these media bozos don't seem to realize the  source of their vitriol. With their rudeness and insults, they are flattering by imitation the very man they seem to detest.
