Am I missing something?

I watched Trump, Johnson and Macron talk to their nations and by far the worse of course was Trump.  I am not a fan of Johnson but at least he had the experts explain the situation and give guidance.  Macron announced that all educational establishments would be closed from Monday for an indefinite period.  He also said that all people over 70 must stay in their homes.  In my logic I see at least three problems with this.  One is that all people over 70 will not catch coronavirus but will die of starvation, lack of exercise and neglect.  Two, most parents who work rely on grandparents to look after their children so  suddenly all those old people are exposed.  Three,  hundreds of thousands of children are now running around loose in their communities, happily spreading the virus even further.

How long will the Chief Medical Officer last in the States before Trump fires him.  Trump has blamed Europe, Obama, the Democrats, the Media and the lack of a wall for causing the spread of the virus.  The Chief Medical Officer has told the nation that while other countries are testing by the hundreds of thousands,  the USA hasn't actually been able to distribute that many and they don't have the capacity to provide the results either.  Methinks his days are numbered.

French railway workers are striking 2 days in 5 for the next few months in protest against Macron's reforms.  To launch these strikes huge protests were organised in Paris but oh dear the strikers couldn't get there because the trains weren't running due to strike action.

stormy weather

Last evening there was a huge storm, lightning,  wind and torrential rain in Agra. This morning the devastation was clear. No power, 50 dead and hundreds of trees down. On the way to the taj mahal  I could see crushed cars, flooded streets  and so many trees.   Then out of all this destruction I arrived at the taj mahal. It doesn't matter how many pictures you see  they cannot compare to seeing this exquisite building rising up above you.  I have waited so long to see it and  it  is far better than I could have imagined.
