African Swine fever

jeudi 28 mai 2020 à 02:00

The human pandemic is sapping the efforts to stop the African Swine Fever pandemic, which is sweeping around the world.

Wild boars, the same species, do not die from African Swine Fever. Would it be possible to cross-breed them to make farmable pigs that are safe from it?

Ejections of Corbyn's supporters

jeudi 28 mai 2020 à 02:00

Labour has ejected Corbyn's supporters from the party leadership.

I don't know much about Keir Starmer or the positions he stands for. But I don't think they are close to those of Corbyn and his supporters. It appears that a campaign of distortions alleging antisemitism has effectively killed the battle against plutocracy in the UK.

Millions surely still want to defeat plutocracy, but without a leader, they have no way to make their movement visible and attract more supporters.

Giving homeless people a place to live

jeudi 28 mai 2020 à 02:00

The UK gave just about all homeless people places to live, so they would not catch and spread Covid-19. But will it continue to support this?

Diverting for Covid-19

jeudi 28 mai 2020 à 02:00

Diverting the entire national medical capacity to Covid-19 is causing 2000 cases of cancer to go undiagnosed each week. That will amount to around 100,000 per year if it continues.

If this continues, most of them will eventually die of cancer.

The situation must be the same in the US, except that many Americans can't afford treatment for cancer under our crushingly expensive medical system.

Hong-Kong trading privileges

jeudi 28 mai 2020 à 02:00

The US will cease giving Hong Kong trading privileges which it enjoys based on its independence from China.

This seems like a perfectly apt response. While it is unpleasant to praise anything done by the corrupt officials of the US government, I can't refuse to praise this one.
