7-day rolling averages, analyzed by the Washington Post state: “Yesterday 1,499 Americans died from the novel coronavirus, the highest number since mid-May… 1,000 Americans each day have succumbed to COVID-19 for the last 17 days.”
More than half a million Covid deaths worldwide, 22-plus-percent American,, thats 4 percent of the global population.
But oh, never mind that....
“It is,” our philosopher prez says, “what it is.”
Let’s focus on what’s immediately important: Trump’s “beautiful hair.”
News blues…
We "still have work to do but the situation is all under control".
Perhaps the oil will, “like a miracle, just disappear.”
Japanese-owned oil tanker MV Wakashio struck a coral reef on July 25 spilling an estimated 1,1300 metric tons of oil into the Indian Ocean off Mauritius.
…Oceanographer Vassen Kauppaymuthoo previously warned of the damage if the vessel was to break apart. ”The damage we are seeing now is nothing compared to what may happen when the Wakashio will break. The whole east coast, from Blue Bay to Grand Gaube, will be affected.”
Subsequently, "almost all" the fuel oil .. has been pumped out and...
…transferred to shore by helicopter and to another ship owned by the same Japanese firm, Nagashiki Shipping. …
France has sent a military aircraft with pollution-control equipment from its nearby island of Réunion, while Japan has sent a six-member team to assist the French efforts. The Mauritius coast guard and several police units are also at the site in the south-east of the island.Not to be cynical, but “the situation is all under control" – sounds Trumpian.
Perhaps the oil will, “like a miracle, just disappear.”

Today, the app states our neighborhood is at “Stage 2 – since 28 minutes ago.” Power remained on.
The same screen displayed: “Not load shedding right now!”
It’s hard to know which side is up.
One might think that, with bureaucratic bungling normalized, one would acclimate.
Alas, not so.
