Welcome to our article, World News and my Views, January 2021
Dear readers, I have been writing a few articles about Australia, where I wanted to highlight the facts that the social security could be better, if it is organized better. But today there are other news in the world, that I would like to write in my diary to keep my own record. Today 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 COCID19, since I have written about this somewhere else recently, where we made a list of what was happening.
So,
let us write a list like we did last time, to compare it with:
Anyhow, I can say that today is the 31st 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 31st 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;
26,300,000 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 moth 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.

The old and new American presidents
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
anyhow. 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 the elections, 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, 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 30th 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.
