EU News Numbers Game

Opening words:  Sad news. The USA overtakes Italy!  This is terrible. The worst for a country since the outbreak of the pandemic! (Euronews).

Next up wonderful words about how it's going to be in the EU after the pandemic from the German president no less.

Yes, they're already setting the agenda.

Euronews, the EU news channel which claims to have the most viewers in Europe, never compares like with like.

The EU plague news is invariably slanted.

Blatant anti-America.

Propaganda.

Devious.

The plain and true fact is that the European Union has by far the highest death totals in the world. Far higher than the USA.

In just three EU countries (Italy, Spain, France) with populations totalling 174,000,000 the number of deaths is rapidly approaching 60,000.

In fact if we include little Belgium in our list of EU pandemic deaths the total of just FOUR  EU states is over 3 times higher than that of the whole of the USA.

And let's not forget the USA population is 331,000,000.

It's time for the EU's major news outlet to report the news as it really is and not as they wish it to be.

Cheesy encounter

My
personal Frankenstein
bat -mouse

encounter
as I now recall
involved a laboratory mouse

the friendly stall holder said
must have escaped
from the medical university

The mouse it was white
was sniffing
the various cheeses on offer

on the cut and taste
counter
that sultry pre-Christmas

evening
