February 10 2022 Edition ----- In the US we see another ISIS leader meeting a sticky end at the hands of US special forces while much of the North East has had dreadful freezing weather!

I think he is a dead man walking if truth be told. In Australia ScoMO has had a dreadful time with unwanted texts as the Aged Care sector is in crisis – on his on admission. An election looms so who knows what will happen. ----- Major Issues. ----- https://thenewdaily.com.a...

The Macro View – Health, Economics, and Politics and the Big Picture. What I Am Watching Here And Abroad.
July 9, 2020 Edition. ----- The July 4th celebrations this year have been over shadowed by Trumps increasing white nationalism and the out of control COVID-19 disaster. He now seems very likely to be a one-term president if the Economist is to be believed. In the UK the re-opening is off and rolling. The next two weeks will be very interesting! In OZ we have seen a new and much more forward Defence Policy and issues in cyber-security. Worse we have seen the virus nail Victoria which has put in a 6 week lockdown. We seem to be on a knife edge....

2018: The Near Future of Flu
The influenza virus continues to be wildly successful at growing and spreading in people around the world because it slightly changes its structure from time to time to avoid our body’s detection systems. In particular, influenza periodically changes some of the proteins in the outer envelope of the virus to mislead our immune systems. We get fooled again and again.
