East Asian Minister Moves on to Hong Kong

      Well, now, the coronavirus from Wuhan has upset not only the continent of Asia, but everything on the periphery.   No matter if one is in Japan, or Phillippines, or Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand or India, you are affected.
     Our man left the P.I. recently and has camped in HK for the time being, waiting for the dust to settle or become less obscure as to "what's next?"
     The Chinese government, already under economic pressure from various economic points, has ramped up the response after over 100 announced deaths and more than 4000 reported infected cases among the population, mostly in HUbei Province and the city of Wuhan. 
      How about a "Pop-up hospital?"  That's part of the response.  Yes.  The Beijing committee thought this would demonstrate a complete commitment perception by the population in general and the world press in particular.  All this while the Congress of the US performs its duty of putting on a sideshow to entertain those pathetic fans who follow Trump no matter what he does or whatever the Dems think up next to stop the 2020. train.   Apparently, the DNC is in full panic.  Why you ask?
       BERNIE is leading.  The OLD Socialist/ Commie sympathizer has tickled the hearts of the usual suspects: the something-for-nothing crowd of millennials, Gen-Xers, Hippies, and Hangers on.
Now he is the undisputed leader in Iowa and New Hampshire, the first contests of the seasonal run up to the conventions of summer.  The OLD Goat is pressing his luck, but then, that's what he's always done.  This time, the old ticker might not hold up under the pressure.  His online fan base is becoming increasingly unhinged and often makes threats and confrontations online to any sap who put up opposing views of Bernie.
       Well, the Trump White House, aka. the Republican Party, can't wait to see Bernie get hold of the divided left wingers that have consumed the Dems with talk of unparalleled give away programs and policies. Oh, well.  It's the election cycle and makes people crazy, everywhere.  Look at the UK.  Look at Italy.   No, don't look at Italy-too scary.  Especially in Rome.
     So, we wait for more updated info from China.  Wash your hands, don't go to China.   Cover your mouth when you cough, and where a mask at all times.
