Friday Morning COVID-19 Update: It's OK To Blame Trump And His Regime
Trump's coke-fiend chief economic advisor, Larry Kudlow-- too stoned and irrational for Fox News, but just fine for the White House-- told the congressional Republicans early yesterday morning, just days after he lied to them and said the whole COVID-19 was "locked down," that Trump was finally about to sign the disaster order he should have signed in January. Everything Trump is doing now-- when he does something right, which is almost never anyway, is weeks or months behind when he should have acted too prevent the pandemic decimating America.

Skeptics: Why Australia's Coronavirus Stimulus Package Will Not Work
*John Quiggin* *Politics, Oceania* [image: Reuters] Here's why. The spread of the coronavirus has brought us all face to face with the remorseless logic of exponential growth. A handful of cases has turned into dozens, then hundreds, then thousands. If current attempts at containment fail, we can expect many millions of cases around the world. The government’s economic policy response reflects this dawning reality. The exponential growth of the virus has been matched by growth in the magnitude and scope of the required response.
