It’s exactly one year ago since the WHO declared the coronavirus outbreak to be a global pandemic. For month after month Donald Trump insisted that what he called “the China Virus” - or “Kung Flu” - would simply disappear. His response to the pandemic was basically to do nothing (or to recommend ‘remedies’ which even a homeopathic practitioner would find laughable). Trump helped to politicise the wearing of face-masks, with the result that half a million people died from covid during his time in office. Conversely, Joe Biden promised to vaccinate 100 million Americans in the first 100 days of his presidency. At the current rate he’ll meet this target… with time to spare.
Licenced today: the gardens of Holker Hall, in South Lakeland, a stately home which looks like a sanatorium…
