I Was Wrong

I can admit it, Don Trump cannot, and that’s why America is toast

Four days ago, on 21 March, I made a prediction that in five days, America’s total of those infected by the Covid-19 pandemic would top China’s, and that a thousand Americans would have died from the disease.

I was only half right.

Although as I write these words the death toll stands at 1 054, China’s infected total is 81 285, barely moved since my prediction, and America’s number of cases is 69 219. That’s 12 067 short of China’s.
