Wheeler's Corner Special
6th April 2020
These 24 billionaires, executives, and right-wing pundits are urging a premature rollback of social distancing, risking millions of American lives.

After clicking on the above and having a quick read, I am led to wonder just what is happening, this bunch of Trumps mates seem hell bent on killing millions if need be in the name of the US economy.
Even after a quick read I was shocked to comprehend the amount of input this bunch has into the mind set of a guy like Trump. It's really hard to comprehend that this psychopathic idiot is in charge of a nation the size of the US. His last mad act is to [via the US Navy] to sack a ships captain for protecting his crew after a number of them died from the virus. Will doctors be punished for saving the life of patients next?
We all are I'm sure aware that his promise that it [the virus] would all be over by Easter has been put on the back burner...thank God our PM has more leadership skills in her big toe than Trump has in his head. Trump has put the battle against virus on a war footing, but we must never forget that the US has not won a war since the 2nd WW, This next reference proves how money rules:

We were among the first to go into a lock-down state [stage four] which appears to be working at this point in time, and while I felt we should have moved quicker, it amazing what hindsight can do, we can each have our opinion about that., but it would appear according to the experts that we took the right steps at the right time...
This compares the behaviour of various countries around the world:

This was the best example I could find showing the overall picture. Its funny in some respects that left wing countries seem to have put their people first, where as the full blown capitalist monsters have failed to do so. Some of the comments are most revealing!! and in general most supportive of the governments actions.
Please continue to follow the lock down rules and help protect humanity. I wish you well as you seek a new future for not only NZ but all humanity.
Yep, many of us would've wanted our borders closed when we first heard about it, it didn't happen.

When
you think of the pressure from all businesses and the opposition to
stay open, the government in my opinion has done a fanastic job.
Remember all the varsities wanting ltheir students to continue to come in, tourism wanting their turnover?
This has been one big juggling act, trying to get all the balls to fall into place (well I imagine it has been).
I
feel safe, safer than I would be living in any other country. As long
as everyone plays by the rules, we will get through this.
Thank you again to all of you who are keeping us safe, nothing but praise.
Stay inside, stay local, be kind, check on your neighbours. Kia kaha NZ.
