As the coronavirus moved to Africa, health experts warned of impending disaster, but so far those predictions have not panned out.

At a lecture to peers this month, John Nkengasong showed some images that once dogged Africa, including a magazine cover declaring it “The Hopeless Continent.” Then he quoted Ghana’s first president, Kwame Nkrumah: “It is clear that we must find an African solution to our problems, and that this can only be found in African unity.”

A onetime official at the U.S. CDC, Nkengasong modeled Africa’s version of the agency after his former employer, whosepain him. In an interview with the Associated Press, he didn’t name Trump but cited “factors we all know” with regard to the CDC’s problems.

Africa, in all its gigantic greatness, is doing a better job than we are? Ok. 😐

Wildfires and hurricanes disrupt final weeks of 2020 censusThe Census Bureau is contending with several natural disasters as wildfires and hurricanes disrupt the final weeks of the nation’s once-a-decade headcount. The agency was already burdened with the coronavirus pandemic and a tightened deadline. Any statistics done within the Trump time period cannot be trusted. And how they are used cannot be trusted, either. I hope conservative rural areas find themselves without full census because of their inability to understand the census has to be accurate so that all people are represented. Gonna be funny when the count comes in and it shows everyone moved away from CA & NY for red states. Shifting those seats
