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 28th 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 20th
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.
