I have been following this very carefully for 90 days. FYI - the worldwide daily infection rate is going up - especially since everything has been reopening. A major spike yesterday - higher than anything seen so far. Over 1 million new infections worldwide in the past week. For those of you don't see that as a problem because you think it is merely due to more testing - what that actually means is the pandemic is far worse than believed. And if you still think it isn't a problem because your locality isn't seeing much action...keep in mind this worldwide pandemic all started with just one case in China and sooner than later it is going to hit home for you. In the last week alone, Brewster County, Texas (where I live) was relatively unscathed with only one case and suddenly has 18 confirmed cases since things started to open up. Meanwhile Donald Chump has stated: "We are going to put out the fires. We're not going to close the country again. We can put out the fires". I don't know about you - but I smell smoke and all I have seen so far is our president fanning the flames. The narcissistic idiot hell bent on getting reelected is about to hold a rally with 20,000 attendees (
ignoring the advice of health officials) in a state that is seeing an increase in the infection rate. (It should be noted that all attendees must sign a waiver admonishing the venue and the president of any liability if they contract the virus there.) After the first confirmed case in the US, the president said on January 22, "We have it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It's going to be just fine." Tell that to the over 100,000 people who have died in the US so far. 96,100,67,0,B

I have followed your blog for years but after your post today I won't be back, sad that you refer to the leader of our Nation as a Chump...........
don
Sorry to hear that you choose to simply ignore all the BS that comes out of Chump's mouth - especially when it comes to what he has told the American people about the pandemic. Good luck moving on to following a blog that believes his endless lies.
I am so glad to see you calling attention to the alarming spread of this horrible disease and the idiot in the Whitehouse. How can anyone not see that he knows he is going down in flames and plans to take as many people as he can with him. Putin is playing him like a cheap banjo. I don't know how anyone cannot see how insane Chump is. The GOP is complicit. I will vote for Biden even if he chooses Daisy Duck as a running mate.
Chump does not do him justice. I think conman is more accurate.
I've been reading your blog for years and I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who can see this light coming down the tunnel. It's going to be a train wreck. I've been conservative all of my life (54 years so far) but,this stable genius is about to lead 20,000 of his dearest disciples into a petri dish. I feel kinda bad that I don't really care what they do to themselves however, when they get sick and then spread the virus further, they will clog the hospitals and the rest of us will suffer because of their foolishness. The funny thing is, there are a lot of people who claim that there is no virus. I bet they go to the hospital when they get sick.
At 54 years, I have never once voted for a Democrat. This year I will break that streak and vote for Biden.
Spot on, John.

Yes. We are lucky in this country to have reliable health departments in our counties who are charged with public health, and who take that charge seriously and report reliable numbers to the best of their ability. As a fellow Texas resident, I have been very proud of my county health department and the local city officials. I don't like seeing the numbers, and I don't like seeing so many people ignoring them, but at least we can tell what's happening if we are interested.
I've been looking at/reading your blog since shortly after you began, and have been impatient with you from time to time, but certainly not today.
Sorry John, you've been social distancing too long.
Problem is Biden does not even know what day it is. Not to mention he is a criminal. I have met the man in a restaurant, most arrogant POS i have ever met. You want a train wreck for this country vote for him and see what happens.
TY for the interesting post. I already had the virus a few months ago when the announcement came out. I was too sick to even be able to get to the hospital (thank goodness) and had a lot of over the counter meds (thera flue, mucinex, pep to bismol, nasal spray, aspirin, etc. and kleenex). I emptied all the bottles and bought more to use after I saw the physicians assistant 5 days later when I could get up. He said there was nothing he could do for me and I was still so sick but turning. I asked for something to dry up the chest fluid which he gave me and went home to cough and sleep some more. Fortunately I am very healthy with a good heart and not on pills (only one for cholesterol). I am 81. I isolated completely.
WAGG...contrary to what you may have read (and what keeps being repeated over and over), Biden does not have dementia, nor is he a criminal. And do you actually think he is more arrogant than Trump? Trump is the worst train wreck of a president we have ever had.
John I have followed you for many years and have enjoyed and contributed a time or two. But all a sudden you have turned political, if you want to have a political blog say so. I will miss pictures of Ben, the wild burros and rabbits, however I will not miss the watch repairing (watching paint dry) and the new political rants.
So many odd reactions from long time blog readers. It's almost like they are knee-jerk defending their personal world view from attack by verifiable facts based on observed actions.
I can't help but wonder if these same sorts of personalities – those that defend fascist behavior by so-called leaders – would have cheered the Romans for crucifying Jesus?
Ron Dame...Don't leave yet! I have an hour long watch repair video coming up soon that you are going to just love.
You think this is bad? LOL! Just wait for the second wave. This trump rally promises to be a magnificent COVID vector. Oh, herd immunity? Ask Sweden how that's working out.
I told my family back in March that there will be at least 2 million dead in the US before this is over given the top down lack of leadershp. I'm sticking with that, although the new dex therapy may tamp that number down a little.
John, We all have different opinions. You know what they say about opinions. I will agree to disagree. Like your blog, have been following it for a long time. Hope it does not become political like everything else in this country has. Firm believer in live and let live.
WAGG...what part of the increase in the global infection rate, the number of deaths in the US, and the factual quotes from Donald Trump do you disagree with?
Not disagreeing with anything concerning the pandemic. The only opinion I disagree with is concerning Joe Biden. I am not a forever Trumper either.
Unfortunately, Joe Biden is our only hope at this point. Just pray he doesn't take on Elizabeth Warren as his VP because that will seal his doom and any chance we have of getting rid of Trump.
I have to agree with you John, while I am not all in on Biden I certainly do not want to give this administration a second term...that would be the end of our democracy!
I have been following John's blog for over a decade and I laugh at all these people that say they will no longer read you...names I have NEVER heard of before make even ONE comment!
Please do not make me laugh...John has over 3.8 million views...and you think not reading him anymore is going to make a dent in his following? Think again, guys!!!
A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
