There's been a bit of unrest in the USA

Looking at this graph that one looted from the Bloomberg website one suspects this is just the beginning of a larger trend.


 
As the world economy tanks and unemployment goes through the roof civil unrest everywhere will spiral, politics will polarise and we'll be lucky to avoid WWIII.

In other statistics it's noticable that when the government COBR spokespeople tell us all on the telly that the Covid-19 infection rate is going down in all areas ...this doesn't actually seem to be supported by their own graphs. 

While there has been a massive decrease in infections in cities ...out in the sticks it's a different story. 

In Wales the number of people in hospital with Covid-19 has crept up again (a fact explained by a "change in reporting methods") while in Northern Ireland the number of people in hospital beds with Covid-19 remains static.  

The South West and Scotland's data shows gradual declines but much shallower than in large population centres.  Could it be that people out in the sticks just don't take it as seriously?

Still we're doing better than the USA where the infections are going up linearly (oh well at least it's not exponentially)....

Does Rudi have some shame...?

For a laugh I regularly change my Facebook profile photo to someone inappropriate.  No one's ever complained about this despite it proba...

Least ignored nonsense this month...
