Pakistan is facing its biggest challenge ever: how to mobilize its broken state as the number of coronavirus cases rapidly spreads in the world’s fifth most populous country.
More than ever, the epidemic is showcasing weaknesses in the government, and the tensions between it and the country’s powerful military. Many within the country’s clerical establishment have refused to help, rejecting calls to limit mosque gatherings and bringing together at least 150,000 clerics from around the world this month in a religious gathering that helped spread the virus.
When Donald Trump recently said, “No, I don’t take responsibility at all” for how he has handled the coronavirus response in the United States, he most definitely was speaking the truth.
Those few words were an important reminder to all of us that he never has to take responsibility for anything because he is never wrong.
The spite- and hate-filled media that want to take him down? His criticism of those badly behaving journalists who question what he is doing remains an absolute necessity. Of course, all journalists should stand with Trump in his monumentally challenging attempt to remake America into…well, something. To question the leader is simply unpatriotic, and we can’t have that in North Kor…uh, I mean the United States.
We also can’t have Muslims. Thankfully, Trump was absolutely right in his vile effort to ban Muslims from entering the United States; obviously, all Muslims are terrorists who are determined to destroy the Unites States. Remain ever vigilant, my fellow Americans!
And Trump really nailed it by calling coronavirus the “Chinese virus.” Can we doubt for a minute those mean Communists want to damage the health and well-being of millions of people around the world? Undermine the entire capitalist system with one bug, and, presto, we might all find Communism enticing!
The nation was highly enriched when Trump reminded us that there were “good people” on both sides of the racism debate. I’m convinced anti-Semites would be wonderful neighbors all because the president suggested they might be good folks. What a relief!
I cannot wait to see who Trump verbally attacks next, as he continues to tell no lies. How lucky we are in these dangerous times to have his unique leadership.
Worried that international travelers might trigger a second wave of coronavirus infections, China announced late Thursday night that it was suspending practically all entry to the country by foreigners and was halting almost all international passenger flights as well.
The announcement came after official Chinese data indicated that the country had almost completely halted domestic transmission of the virus but was struggling to handle a growing number of people who were infected overseas.
