China’s continued ‘occupation’ and refusal to leave—despite diplomatic warnings from the invaded country and its allies—is tantamount to taunting a war with its neighbors, who it perceives as weak economically, militarily, socially and psychologically.

While most people in all countries reeled from the heavy toll of the pandemic—losing jobs and incomes and forcing governments to borrow and perk up domestic economies through stimulus packages--- the globe’s billionaires and millionaires looked for ways to hide their ballooning wealth (which rose by 20 percent by mid-December) from the prying eyes of government bent on taxing them even more and the demands of ordinary mortals for their philanthropies.

AFTER over a year of dealing with the coronavirus pandemic only two realities emerge: 1) the virus is more potent than the task forces, czars, and expert community combined and 2) the blame game is getting even stronger by the day because no one wants to admit having been remiss of conscientiously planning for the worst.

AT 500 million doses (of 0.5 to 0.3 milliliter) COVID-19 vaccines—a volume enough to fill up a 55,000- gallon swimming pool, the main problem that the United States is facing now is the reluctance of many people and many states to get inoculated.
