WHO WAS THAT UNMASKED MAN? THAT BE MA MAN GREG!

(Ed.'s Note: Well, so much for the supremacy of local control. Mincing no words, Texas Governor Greg Abbott said hs order on face masks is a "recommendation" and not a "requirement' and that no other authority, county or municipal, can assess fines against not wearing a face covering. That recommendation ends Friday, by the way (not da local guey).

Also, the state's "Stay at Home" order will come to an end on Friday.

Meanwhile, the face covering order (required) and Stay at Home orders have been imposed across the river in Tamaulipas as a response to the growing COVID-19 case incidence there. I'd wear it, wouldn't you? Go figure.)

Over more than two centuries, the United States has stirred a very wide range of feelings in the rest of the world: love and hatred, fear and hope, envy and contempt, awe and anger. But there is one emotion that has never been directed towards the US until now: pity.

However bad things are for most other rich democracies, it is hard not to feel sorry for Americans. Most of them did not vote for Donald Trump in 2016. Yet they are locked down with a malignant narcissist who, instead of protecting his people from Covid-19, has amplified its lethality. The country Trump promised to make great again has never in its history seemed so pitiful.

Will American prestige ever recover from this shameful episode? The US went into the coronavirus crisis with immense advantages: precious weeks of warning about what was coming, the world’s best concentration of medical and scientific expertise, effectively limitless financial resources, a military complex with stunning logistical capacity and most of the world’s leading technology corporations. Yet it managed to make itself the global epicentre of the pandemic.

As the American writer George Packer puts it in the current edition of the Atlantic, “The United States reacted ... like Pakistan or Belarus – like a country with shoddy infrastructure and a dysfunctional government whose leaders were too corrupt or stupid to head off mass suffering.”

It is one thing to be powerless in the face of a natural disaster, quite another to watch vast power being squandered in real time – willfully, malevolently, vindictively. It is one thing for governments to fail (as, in one degree or another, most governments did), quite another to watch a ruler and his supporters actively spread a deadly virus. Trump, his party and Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News became vectors of the pestilence.

The Cameron county judge didn't wear a mask when he talked out his ass. He lost my vote with his attitude.

Republican Trump needs to reopen the economy to have any chance of reelection. If the body bags pile up, so be it.

In November, Remember...
