MY MICROSOFT COMPUTER PROBLEMS.

Dear readers, in this blog, we have written several posts about D.I.Y. articles about building works. We are writing posts about social issues that can affect all of us. We will start with Australian social issues that we have already written in the past, when these things happened; then we will follow with what is happening these days, and link everything together. So, in this blog let us talk about, Microsoft computer problems.

Today we may say that the computer can help a lot, but at the same time it has its own problems. So, I am writing this article to see if I can solve them. 

Welcome to our article, Microsoft Computer Problems. 

Today I am having problems with my laptop computer, so, I am asking myself, if this problem is happening only to me, or there are other people that are in the same position; so, let me explain my position, because I am thinking, what is wrong with my laptop computer system, when I am using it, and it does not work, like it did before.  

You see, I am having problems saving my work on my computer hard drive. So, I am writing this complain on the internet, because it is the easiest way to let the people that use the computer and those that run the computer know the problems that I have, because I am upset to say the least. Let me explain the way I see it. I pay for my internet connection and I pay for Microsoft Office software. But lately I cannot use them on my laptop because it says that it is illegal. How can it be illegal if I have paid for them?

I believe that this problem arises, because they have changed the programs and I am forced to save everything to One drive, so, I cannot save anything to my laptop computer. But not only that, I also cannot edit anything in One drive because for them it is illegal.  

But who is the illegal party here? I have paid my share, so, what else they want? If they want more money, then it would be illegal the way the computer system is run. Anyhow, I am saying this because I am upset and not able to sort my computer problems. I know that I do not know much about how to sort this problem. So, I hope there is an easy way, and somebody tells me how to do it, or fix it for me.

Anyhow, let me say what I believe can work. Since in the past I could open, write, and save my documents on this laptop PC hard drive that I was working with; then if I wanted them to be on One drive, I could save a copy to One drive and it worked well. So, I do not understand why they had to change that and drive me crazy.     

I hope I have explained my problem, and there is somebody there that can fix it. I will continue to write other articles on the internet, until I find a solution.

--------------------------------------

Anyhow, this is how I would like to see my computer work.  

I know that everybody has a different way to use their computer. But what I have found today for me is very upsetting because I would like to use my computer the same way I have always used and I cannot, because everything is saved to the cloud or to give it another name One Drive.

Now, I believe that it is easier to start a new page in words or excel, save it to your computer, and then, if you want to save it for good copy it to One cloud. By doing it my way, if it happens that there is no internet available, you can still do what you must do, and when the internet comes back, if you want you can save your work to One drive.

I am also worried that if for some reason there is no internet for several days, there will be a lot of people that will be completely lost, so, what I am suggesting here could be what needs to be done. But that is up to Microsoft to work it out, which is the best way to go about. You see what I am saying here is only the best way for me.  

Anyhow, I have looked on the internet how to save your work to your PC, and it says that it can be done. But I tried several times to reset my laptop to save on this PC, and it did not work; so, I must think about another way how to do it, and this is very upsetting.    

What else I have done since then.

Anyhow, since I am paying the internet connection and Microsoft Office program, I have decided to call them for help, and I did. The outcome was partly successful, since I can at least edit when I use One drive, but still, I cannot save directly to my computer.

Sometimes I wonder why, as soon as you have learned how to use a program, they will change it, so, you must learn again what to do to keep doing what you need to do, it is a bit annoying to say the least. It is the same old story again and again; we have to learn how to use these new programs. I remember that when window 10 came out, we were lost for a while, but later when we learned how to use it, it was alright, I hope that the same thing happens now.  

Anyhow, I believe that I must have another chat to Microsoft, in the hope that they can set my computer to save my own files on my laptop.

Anyhow I am still wondering if this is happening only to me, or there are other people that are having the same problem, and if they are, what are they doing to fix it.

This is all what I need to say now. I will come back to it if I need to add something else. To see more click on this link, Microsoft Computer Problems. 

See you soon, when I go back to write my May diary.

WORLD NEWS AND MY VIEWS, MARCH 2021.

 Dear readers, in this blog, we have written several posts about D.I.Y. articles that dealt with building works. Having done that, now we are writing posts about social issues. We have started with this post, Farming today is still a risky business, we want to talk about social issues that can affect all of us. We will continue with Australian social issues that we have already written in the past, when these things happened; then we will follow with what is happening these days. 

We believe that to continue and make sense, we should post what has happened since, and then link everything together. So, in this blog let us talk about, World news and my views, March 2021.  

Anyhow, you can also find this article at, http://oldman-lifeworks.blogspot.com,

These three people above, like to be on the news as much as they can, because what they have done is not going to help anyone, and it might even make things worse. So, I wonder why they wanted to have this interview published. But let us see what went on. Then we will talk about other things as well. 

WORLD NEWS AND MY VIEWS, MARCH 2021.   

Welcome to our article, World News and My Views, March 2021. 

Dear readers, we are continuing to keep our diary, so that we can compare what is happening today to one day in the future. Anyhow, during the month of March 2021, there are a couple of extra things on the news: one is the interview of Oprah Winfrey, with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry that is upsetting the royal family in England; this is not good news, but it gets a lot of people interested, I believe that is why Oprah Winfrey made the interview, this issue is going to be in the news for a while, but for me it is not a great deal, because it only affects the people involves and not the general public. I know that things may change, and it can affect the monarchy and the commonwealth, but that is unlikely, the most likely scene is that people can get upset and hurt, if they take part in these conversations. Looks like that Oprah Winfrey has opened a modern Pandora box, and a lot of arguments can come from this. I believe that this would have been better for everybody, if these matters were resolved privately, but now it is too late; so, we must wait and see what happens.

----------------------- 

The other news that we want to talk about, this month of March 2021 is pope Francis visit to Iraq, now, we can say that this is good news, since the pope visit can bring good result in the future; you see, when the religious leaders of different religions get together, it has the potential to change the views of their followers, since they can become friendly with people of other religions and end isolation, and above all it may end extremism, since they now don’t see that people of different religions are their enemies. 

Today Pope Francis is again doing his best. I am saying this because this photo does not belong to the same event we are talking here, but it belongs to an earlier event, I believe in Egypt. Anyhow, today the pope visit in Iraq means two things, one the pope wants to talk to the Catholic community and tell them that they have not been forgotten, so, he is there to look after their problems. Then he wants to meet the other religious leaders, to show the world that we all believe in the same God. 

------------------------

Looking at what the pope is doing, it seems almost crazy, he goes in a nation where most people hate Christianity, he puts himself in a dangerous position, in the hope that he can change for the better those people beliefs, he wants them to see us Christian as their friends and not their enemies. Will the pope succeed in what he wants to do? We just must wait and see, if what he is doing will continue and one day religions can amalgamate. Now let us go back to talk about what is happening in the world.

WHEN SHOCKING NEWS HITS YOU.

When you think what else can go wrong in the world today? Suddenly something else hits, and you know that there are many more problems in the world.

Today the 23^rd of February 2021, I was watching the Italian news hoping that they had progressed politically to a better stage, since, they have a new government with Mario Draghi as prime minister. So, they could look at how to finance whatever needs to be financed in Italy, to get Italy working again, and to control the corona virus. Instead, what hit me is this shocking news about the Italian ambassador and one Italian carabiniere killed in the republic of Congo. Today is seems to me that there is always bad news around the corner, and while you hope for the best, something else hits you hard.

 

WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING. 

Today apart what we have said above, the world problems continue to be mostly as they were two months ago, the corona virus pandemic continues with variant, the world of politics continues blaming each other: in Australia they are talking about sexual harassment happening in Canberra parliament building; in Italy they are having all sorts of problems, forming a new government guided by new designated premier Mario Draghi, while it seems that they have the numbers, somebody resigns and they have to start all over again; in America President Joe Biden thinks that he is doing okay, but there are signs that not everything is well, some people say that sometimes he forgets names of people, and this is not a good sign. They are worried that he may not be well enough and strong enough to be the leader of the USA, one of the strongest nations on earth.

Now, let us compare, what we said in our last article.

We wrote about the COVID19, so, we want to check out its progress; we wrote about the American presidents and their arguments, and we wrote about that the Italian prime minister Giuseppe Conte that has resigned and they are now trying to form another government. 

Anyhow, what we can tell you today 17^th of March 2021 is that the COVID19 continues, in the USA last fortnight has gone up considerable; from 26,300,000 positive and 445,000 deaths to 30,000,000 and 541,000 deaths; Brazil has 280,000 deaths. Anyhow, it goes up and down in different places, but the other countries that need mentioning here is the U K with 125,000 deaths and Italy with over 103,000 deaths. Again, here looks like that Italy has been hit hard from this virus, and every time I look at the Italian news there are more people sick. I hope that it will improve soon, since they have started vaccinating everywhere.

But wait a minute, there seems to be a problem with the vaccine supply, Italy is stopping of 250,000 doses to Australia, because they have not received enough themselves, and this is how it was reported in the news, and I quote;  

London: Italy has vowed to reject more vaccine exports and France has threatened to join the blockade, as European officials scramble to justify the decision to ban a shipment of 250,000 doses to Australia.

Trade Minister Dan Tehan discussed the standoff with his Brussels counterpart Valdis Dombrovskis on Friday night, but the European Commission has no plans to step back from its dispute with the British-Swedish pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca.

The decision was the first-time special powers have been used to stop coronavirus vaccines manufactured in Europe from being sent abroad. The shipment was banned because the drug giant has not provided the bloc with as many vials as expected. End of quote.

This pandemic has created many problems, and even though the vaccine has been made and is being used, it will take a long time for things to go back to normal; it also seems that there might be a problem with the vaccine.

----------------------------------

NOW LET US LOOK AT THE POLITICAL SCENE. 

First let us talk about America, since it is the most important nation in the western world. Anyhow, in January as expected the new American president took over. So, they have changed President in the middle of so much fuss. And just as I was saying, the democratic wanted President Donald Trump impeached, but they have failed, so, Trump is no longer being impeached, and other things are slowly going down. Anyhow, let us hope that Joe Biden has enough energy to run America the right way, since this influences the rest of the world. Now, let us look at the Italian government crisis, since I follow it closely.  

They are forming a new government in Italy.

When I started writing this article, it was the 16^th of February 2021. At that stage they had failed to form a new government for a second time under Giuseppe Conte as prime minister. So, the Italian president Sergio Mattarella, appointed Mario Draghi as a possible new prime minister. So, Mario Draghi has consulted with the other political leaders, and has been able to find enough followers to form a new Government; so, a new government is being sworn in soon.  

Anyhow, I have noted that in politics everything can change quickly. But who is going to be this this new prime minister Mario Draghi? From what they say, he seems to be a well-known person throughout the world, so, there are high expectations. 

For what I know, Mario Draghi is a top economist, and perhaps this is what Italy needs. But is that enough to solve most of the problems that they are facing in Italy today, this nobody knows.

Anyhow, the new government has been sworn in, now they are voting to check if there is enough support for this new government, then they can start debating what needs to be done.

The new prime minister Mario Draghi has pointed out what he wants to do, so, new laws need to be discussed and approved, but that is happening in the future. Meanwhile we must wait and see. So, we start thinking that this Italian problem is solved, but it is not, suddenly the PD leader Zingaretti resigns, and after a while, Enrico Letta a former prime minister has been elected as leader. Let us hope they can make it work this time.     

Anyhow, now we must wait and see what really happened over there. This is all what I know today, see you next time. To see more, click on this link, World News and My Views, March 2021.

THE PRESIDENT ELECT JOE BIDEN

The world of politics goes up and down, today is Joe Biden turn to go up, and become the President of the USA for four years. We wish him good luck, he needs it because times are not stable, people most time take to the streets and demonstrate, let us hope that he can find a way how to keep them calm. Then there is also the corona virus to think about. 

THE OUTGOING PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP

The outgoing President Donald Trump is a strong man, he has got his own ways how he sees and says things, most times he is right; the only mistakes I have seen him make, was that he ignored the corona virus pandemic. I believe that people would have been happier, if he had given more attention to the medical side of this disease, and how to control it, instead of ignoring it. 

World News and my Views, January 2021

Welcome to our article, World News and my Views, January 2021. 

Dear readers, I am writing this article sooner than I thought, because many things have happened, so, I would like to write them in my diary to keep my own record. There are 2 important things that continue to be on the news all the time, one is the COVID19, the other one is the political scene in America and Italy. But fist let us compare the COVID19.:

Anyhow, today is the 31^st of January 2021. About the corona virus, I believe that Australia is doing better than the rest of the world. In fact, not much has happened since last time, but let us note the difference.

Today the 31^st of January 2021, Australia has had, 28,806 cases positive and 909 deaths so far. If we compare this with last time it is only 500 more cases positive and one death.

Anyhow, yesterday there was this Australia day celebration, and a lot of people came together, let us hope that this event does not spread the COVID9 pandemic. Now, at this Australia day celebration, not everybody was celebrating, because the native aborigines were protesting, letting us know that this for them is invasion day, and they are not happy about it. So, this is another problem that the Australian people and the politicians need to solve. But let us go back to talk about the COVID19 in the world.    

It seems to me that the rest of the world, is still having trouble containing the COVID19 virus, as you can see from the following list.

The entire world has over, 102,500,000 confirmed positive, that is more than 20,000,000 people in a month, the death toll stands at 2,214,000 and growing. Now let us break it down a bit.

USA; 26,300,00 case positive and 445,000 deaths, compared to last month list of, 19,300,000 positive cases, is has increased by 7,000,000 case positive and 108,000 deaths compared to last time 337,000 deaths.

India; 10,790,000 positive and 154,000 deaths. But I must assume that there is something wrong here, because for the last few days their toll does not change. So, they may have stopped counting. 

Brazil; 9,100,000 positive cases and 224,000 deaths, compared with 7,500,000 positive cases and 191,000 deaths.

Mexico 1,840,000 positive cases and 156,000 deaths, compared with 1,377,000 positive cases and 122,000 deaths, a month ago. 

These are the 4 countries with most deaths.

Followed by the United Kingdom With 3,800,000 positive cases and over 106,000 deaths and growing fast.

And then Italy with, 2,500,000 positive cases and 88,500 deaths, and growing about 500 deaths every day. 

Anyhow, the vaccines have been made, and they have started vaccinating people. We all hope for a good outcome, because there seems to be a few problems there, there are a few reactions from the vaccine, and it is going to take a long time to vaccinate the entire world population. So, we must wait and see what will happen. Meanwhile let us look at political world news. Like what has been happening in USA, and then, what is happening in Italy today. 

-------------------------------- 

TALKING ABOUT THE USA PRESIDENTS.  

The world of politics is strange to say the least. Last time, when I wrote my diary here, we were worried that the outgoing President Donald Trump, was going to make troubles, before he would leave the White House, anyhow, he made it hard to a certain point, but then he left peacefully, even if his actions were strange, because he just left the White House before the new president was sworn in, he went anyhow. Now, we are all waiting what will be his next move, or what the democrats will do to impeach him, most likely nothing will happen.

But what is the difference between Joe Biden and Donald Trump political beliefs, and if their policies are good or bad for America and the entire world, because whatever America does, affects the entire world, at least the western world. So, let us look at what I believe their policies are, or in the case of Donald Trump were.

Now what I am saying here is my personal view, so, I might be wrong, but anyhow let me tell you, How I see this situation.

Four year ago, when Donald Trump became the president, I believe that America needed a president like him. You see, he wanted to make America great again, he wanted to stop the refugees come to America by thousands, and that is what America needed then. So, Donald Trump was the right man for the Job. Anyhow he did most of what he wanted to do, but that was not enough to convince the people to let him have another go. In a way I like Donald Trump and his earlier policies, what I did not like is when he tried to ignore the corona virus pandemic, and I believe that this is the reason why he lost, and he deserved to lose for that reason.

Anyhow, today things are changing, and again it seems to me that America has chosen the right man for the present time but will President Joe Biden rum himself in trouble later we do not know, we must wait and see. This is how I see the American situation today. Anyhow, we may say that the right man comes on the scene at the right time, and when that time is gone, they disappear.

The world of politics is strange, it goes up and down, sometimes for the right reasons, at other times it just happens. Today I am wondering how far Joe Biden is going to move away from Trump politics. I believe that every president has his good and bad sides, so, if Joe Biden thinks that everything President Trump has done is wrong, he is making a great mistake, because the reason Trump won last time was that the previous government was making mistakes too.

It would be wise to be more moderate and try to balance everything the best way you can. The weakest point of the democratic party is that they want to set everybody free, and they hope that everybody does the right thing by themselves. But most people need leadership, because without leadership the poor and less educated people become selfish, when they do, they want to rob the richer people that through their hard work have got something. So, a set of rules need to exist, and a set of law keeper need to be well organized, something that the democrats hate to do. Anyhow, that is just a way that I see them failing.

Now, let me talk about the Italian politics. 

     

The unsolvable Italian political scene. 

In Italy suddenly, the prime minister Giuseppe Conte resigned, because he did not have enough support to pass laws that were needed, to keep the country going. So, today they are trying to form a new government, ether with Giuseppe Conte again as prime minister or somebody else. In Italy there are many political parties and so many leaders, and when there is a large enough party, a group in this party is not satisfied with the rest of the party and they split. When one of these groups splits, if they were forming part of the government, the government may become a minority government and is unstable to govern, just like what has happened now.

You see, a former prime minister, Matteo Renzi has split from the DP and formed his own party, then he has withdrawn his support to the present government, so, the government cannot continue, they need to pass new laws and it cannot be done.

Anyhow, today the 30^th of January 2021, the Italian President Mattarella has said to the leader of the parliament Roberto Fico to call the party leaders and see if they can come up with an agreement how to form a new majority government. Which will be most likely with Giuseppe Conte as prime minister. So, we are all waiting what will happen.

So, I have been waiting for a better result, and that everything would be resolved, with Giuseppe Conte as prime minister again. But looks like that Matteo Renzi, did not like it and has made it hard for everybody, so, after consultations President Mattarella has called on Mario Draghi to see if he can find enough support if a different government can be formed, which form of government they can form I do not know, but they are trying. If they cannot form government soon, they have to go back to vote an early election.

Anyhow, I believe that this is going to take a while, and this article is already long enough, so, I am going to publish it the way it is. we will write something else when they have sorted these political problems.

See you soon.

World news and my views December 2020.

Dear readers, in this blog, we have written several posts about D.I.Y. articles that dealt with building works. Having done that, now we are writing posts about social issues. We have started with this post, Farming today is still a risky business, we want to talk about social issues that can affect all of us. We will continue with Australian social issues that we have already written in the past, when these things happened; then we will follow with what is happening these days. 

We believe that to continue and make sense, we should post what has happened since, and then link everything together. So, in this blog let us talk about, World news and my views, December 2020.  

Anyhow, you can also find this article at, http://oldman-lifeworks.blogspot.com,

The way I see it it that, the corona virus pandemic has spread everywhere, and has made the world unsafe, so wherever you go you can have problems, even to get in or out of your country. Sometimes you cannot leave your home. But you must do this just to keep safe. 

Welcome to our article, World News and My Views Dec. 2020.  

The hard times we are living.  

Dear readers, I have written this article in December 2020, because I want to keep a record of what is happening these days. I believe that the time we are living today are hard times, and there is no evidence that they will be better soon in the future. Of course, the greatest problem is the COVID 19 that is hard to control even today. Perhaps on the near future, we will be able to control it with this new vaccine they want to make, let us hope it works well.

Anyhow, let me make a list of the corona virus, to compare with the list that we have written last time, and with our future lists. Perhaps we need to remember these hard times, even if most of us one day will try to forget them, as being painful times. But nevertheless, what is happening needs to be remembered, just the way it is happening to tell the story. 

Anyhow, today is near the end of December 2020, the state of Victoria has gained control of the corona virus pandemic, so, it is like the other states. Anyhow, while it seems that we are gaining control, here and there other corona virus cluster start, and people are worried in case it goes out of control again. The prime minister and the premiers of each state do what they can, but whatever they do they cop some criticism, you see people are never happy, when they are asked to do unusual things. But I believe that Australia is doing better that the rest of the world. But let us make a list about what is happening.

Today the 28^th of December 2020, Australia has had, 28312 cases positive and 908 deaths; the state of Victoria has, 20362 positive and 820 deaths; NSW. has 4858 positive and 53 deaths; Queensland has 1241 positive and 6 deaths; WA 855 positive and 9 deaths; SA. 571 positive 4 deaths; Tasmania 234 positive and 13 deaths; Canberra 118 positive 3 deaths; NT 73 positive no deaths.

Now, this is happening in the entire world, with over 80,000,000 people positive, and with USA at the top;

USA; 19,300,000 positive cases, and 337,000 deaths.

India; 10,200,000 positive cases and 148,000 deaths.

Brazil; 7,500,00 positive cases and 191,000 deaths.

Mexico 1,377,000 positive cases and 122,000 deaths.

These are the 4 countries with most deaths.

Looking at this list, we can say that Australia is still doing well compared to these 4 countries above. Because Australia death toll has not gone up much, some other countries it has gone up 30% or more.

In Europe, the second wave has caused many more deaths, one of the worst affected has been Italy. Today Italy has over 2,000,000 case positive and 72,000 deaths. Anyhow, at last some vaccines have been made, and soon they will start vaccinating people. We all hope for a good outcome, and this corona virus pandemic may soon be over. So, let us look at other world news.

-------------------------------- 

The last elections in Queensland and America.   

Now, we want to talk about the elections as we did last time, since we wanted to see the outcome, I can tell you this. The Queensland elections were won by the Labor Party and the premier Anastacia Palaszczuk, so, she can continue to do her job and be the premier of Queensland.

Now, I was thinking that the elections in America could go the same way and favor the existing government. But it was not so. Because President Trump lost the elections. The greatest difference in the running of the elections was that; The Queensland premier Anastacia Palaszczuk was talking about how to avoid the COVID19 pandemic, but President Trump completely tried ignoring the corona virus pandemic. So, was this the main cause that Donald Trump lost the elections, or was something else, we do not know.

Anyhow, President Trump did not like losing the election and has not conceded defeat, but slowly is accepting he has lost, so, we all hope that the 20^th of January, the president elect Joe Biden will be sworn in as the new President, and Trump will go quietly back to his business life, So, we are waiting for the new direction America will go, under the new administration.

We hope that they can guide America the right way, because the entire world needs America to be financially strong. We also need America to be a peaceful country, and it is up to this new administration to make laws that can solve the problem of racial discrimination, and hatred between the people and the police forces, because it seems to me that they hate each other. 

Now, this is only my view and I might be wrong, but most time in the past, from this land hereunder Australia, we were hearing President Obama say to the African Americans, I am with you, and we will investigate what has happened. When he could have said something else. You see, when he said I am with you, or something like that, he was siding with the rebellious crowd, that usually would rob and bash other people, when the police came to arrest them, they would fight the police force, and the police were forced to use violent ways to arrest them.

What I am trying to say here is this; President Obama was siding too much with the people, instead of siding with the police force, he should have told the people to be good citizen and do not rob or fight with the police force, because the police had a job to do, and their job was that they must arrest those people that make trouble. So, it is the people that start this chain reaction and hatred.

During the Trump administration these things continued to happen, and Trump did nothing to fix them. So, we hope that the new administration under Joe Biden finds a way how to fix this problem, that most people thing it is racial, when it may not be completely racial, but nevertheless it needs to be fixed. Good luck Joe Biden, if you can fix this problem, you will be a good president.

The hard times we are living.  

I believe that most people will remember the year 2020 as one of the worst years of this generation, because of the corona virus pandemic. While I am writing this article, there is some hope that the worst is over, because they have started vaccinating people. So, if this vaccine works the way they believe it will work, then the worst is over, and next year will be a different year and everything can go back to normal. But we must wait and see what happens.

Anyhow, we must hope for the best outcome, we must also think and hope that something positive can come out of this negative experience. You see, we have seen that the governments of the world, can do a lot more to help the people than we thought possible. And the people can be led to do hard things, if they are explained properly what they must do for their benefit; like to stay isolated and at home for a long time, even if some of us did not follow it properly and got in trouble.

After having seen what has happened, I believe that in the future governments, should have policies that would help the people in need more that they do now. So, we may have to have governments that are more socialist and are able to use the people money to help the needy, as they have done during this pandemic. I hope this is not just my wishful thinking, and something can be done in the future.

So, let us leave behind this dreadful year 2020, because it is nearly ended, and hope that next year things will be better, the COVID19 will end, because of the vaccine, and we are better off because we have learned how to deal with these things.

I think I have said enough in this article, and because it is the end of this year, all is left to do is to wish my readers, a safe and prosperous new year.

See you soon.

World News and My Views October 2020.

Dear readers, in this blog, we have written several posts about D.I.Y. articles that dealt with building works. Having done that, now we are writing posts about social issues. We have started with this post, Farming today is still a risky business, we want to talk about social issues that can affect all of us. We will continue with Australian social issues that we have already written in the past, when these things happened; then we will follow with what is happening these days. 

We believe that to continue and make sense, we should post what has happened since, and then try to link everything together. So, in this blog let us talk about, World news and my views, October 2020.

We thought that the worst of COVID 19 was past, but there is a second wave, and the most affected state is the state of Victoria. The premier of Victoria Daniel Andrews is a worried man and working hard to save his state. But there are people that say that he has gone too far. But perhaps that is the only way open to him. 

Welcome to our article, World News and my Views October 2020 

Dear readers, this is the month of October 2020, there are a lot of things happening aroud and about to happen; so, we want to write our diary to keep track of what happens. What the world is worried about is this second wave of the COVID19. Most country’ leaders realize that it is hard to choose what to do, whether they should lock-down, or should try to keep the economy going; it seems to me that they must find a way to balance everything for the best outcome. 

In Australia strange as it seems, not every state has been affected the same way, it is a bit different from the first outbreak, when the NSW was the state with most corona-virus positive people, and the total number of death people in Australia was near 100.

Anyhow, today it is the state of Victoria that has most sick people. To understand what we are saying, let us write the number of people affected in each state, today is the 26^th of October 2020, Australia has (had) 27500 cases positive and 905 deaths; the state of Victoria has, 20340 positive and 817 deaths; NSW. has 4380 positive and 53 deaths; Queensland has 1167 positive and 6 deaths; WA 760 positive and 9 deaths; SA. 490 positive 4 deaths; Tasmania 230 positive and 13 deaths; Canberra 114 positive 3 deaths; NT. 33 positive no deaths.

Now this is not happening only in Australia, it is happening in the entire world, with over 43,000,000 people positive, and with USA at the top;

USA; 8,700,000 positive cases, and 228,500 deaths.

India; 7,900,000 positive cases and 119,000 deaths.

Brazil; 5,400,00 positive cases and 157,000 deaths.

Mexico 891,000 positive cases and 89,000 deaths.

These are the 4 countries with most deaths.

Anyhow, the entire world is worried about what is happening, in Europe a second wave has started, so, they are worried and thinking to introduce a second lock-down, they do not know what to do, because if they introduce a full lock-down again, there will be a lot of people that can be financially ruined, and then again if they don’t there can be a lot more dead people. So, they hope that a vaccine can be made soon to solve this health problem. I believe that for Europe and America is going to be hard this winter, because this virus seems to be more active when it is cold.

Now let us look at what else is happening in the world, which is about the USA elections and the Queensland elections, and the Melbourne Cup because these are what we are going to hear on the news for a while.

 

The Queensland elections. 

Because I live in Queensland and I can be affected from this election, I will talk about the Queensland elections first, the elections will be held the 31 of October. The premier Anastacia Palaszczuk does not say much what she is going to do financially after the elections, she talks only about the need to keep the borders close because of the COVID19 dangers. But there are rumors that they are going to introduce the death tax to pay for the debits that these pandemic and other things are causing. The leader of the opposition is much the same, they criticize the other party and do not say much, however, they want to cut the working force to save money. So, it is hard to decide which party you want to win.

Anyhow, we must wait to see what happens after the 31^st of October. I do not care much which party wins, I want only that wins the party that is going to tax me less.

So, I believe that it will be a busy week for news, the first week of November 2020, after we know who won the Queensland elections, there is the Melbourne Cup to follow, which this year because of the COVID19 there will not be any spectators to see the race. It will still happen, but it will be vastly different from the previous years, when all the ladies dressed lavishly to attend the race, which was half the fun.

Anyhow, today the 1^st of November 2020, at the Queensland elections yesterday the Labour Party has won again, so, Anastacia Palaszczuk is still the premier of Queensland.

Editing again, the third of November 2020, today the Melbourne Cup, the race that stops the nation working for a few minutes has been run, the horse that won the race, Twilight Payment has been leading the race from start to finish, so, nobody is contesting how the race was run.

Now there are the American elections to be held, where the entire world wants to know, who is going to win; Donald Trump, or Joe Biden.  I wonder if the American election will be the same as the Melbourne Cup, a one-horse race, or the other way around.       

 

The American elections

We must say that the American elections are the most important in the world, because it not only affects the American people, it affects most of the western world if not all the world, because whatever America does affects everyone of us. So, people want to know, who is going to win and what are their policies.

We have President Donald Trump with his strange and colorful ways of saying things, he is a strong character and gets things done his own ways, which most times work alright.

Then we have Joe Biden, who is a calmer character, so, I wonder if he is strong enough to control the American people like Trump does. It is hard to say which one could be the better leader to lead America the next 4 years.

What seems obvious now, is that everybody is waiting for the outcome of these elections, it is like the calm before the storm. I am saying this because most of the violence that we have witnessed a few months ago has stopped, it is like that they are waiting for a favorable outcome of the election. But because there must be a losing side. The question here is, will the losing side accept the outcome of the elections or are they going to rebel? Only time can tell, so, we must wait after the election.

Today is the 8^th of November 2020, the American elections have been held, and they have been counting votes for a few days. Because the result is close. But today Joe Biden as President elect and Kamala Harris the chosen vice President have claimed victory. To me this seems a bit strange, because President Donald Trump has not conceded defeat yet, so, I wonder if this can be legally done. 

Anyhow, last time I heard President Trump speak he said that he is going to contest the outcome of this election, because they are counting illegal votes. Therefore, now America and the entire world are waiting what is happening next. The question here is; will President Trump accept and concede defeat soon? Or can he come up with enough evidence to contest the election result. We are all continuing to wait and see what he will do next. Anyhow, I start to believe that there is a sort of destiny, because of what can be happening next.

 

The force of destiny. 

Anyhow, I believe that the American elections have been won and lost because of the corona virus disease, if the COVID19 did not exist, or President Trump was better at talking to the people how to defend themselves from this disease, then he could have won the elections. But the only think he said was, that a vaccine would be made soon to control the disease, but most people did not believe him, they believed Joe Biden that was saying that the vaccine was far way.

Anyhow, today is the 10^th of November 2020, so, it is one week after the elections, and for the first time they claim that they have made a good corona-virus vaccine. The point that I want to make here is, if people had known that the corona-virus would be available soon. President Trump could have won the elections?

I believe that there is a sort of destiny, and the outcome of these elections will be felt for a long time to come.
