Covid19 will change the world and the domestic politics of Singapore

The most remarkable thing about this Covid19 is to show the world what an air head Donald Trump is and how he and his team fumble and stumble along in this pandemic, wasting precious time doing  nothing useful and confirm their idiocy by becoming the worse hit country in the world, leading by a huge margin on every count, more than a million infected cases and still counting and more than 64,000 death.  These are numbers that would make everyone's mouth gapping wide in awe.

While the world, including the USA were given ample notice of this virus outbreak, starting with China informing WHO on 31 Dec 19 and giving the world the virus genome in early January 20, the USA, the leading power in the world, stood still, doing nothing about it other than sneering at the information and treating it lightly like a hoax. When China informed the world, the Americans must be telling themselves it must be a joke as the number of cases were hardly anything worthy of taking notice. It was a Chinese domestic epidemic at worse or China crying wolf to cause fear in the world.

The USA missed the opportunity to show world leadership, to treat the epidemic that eventually a pandemic, to coordinate a joint effort to deal with this crisis. More than two months were wasted and now the USA stood up like a sore thumb, glowing red and swollen beyond recognition and the only thing it could do, or thought the wisest thing, is to look for scapegoats for its own blunders.

The Americans have shown the world its inability to lead and its inability to rise up to tackle a crisis like this covid19.  Everything that happened in the USA, in its response to control and contain this problem is at best ludicrous. It is incompetence everywhere and all Trump was/is doing is to lie and lie about how wonderful he and his clowns have done. Now is May and many of the medical professionals are still crying for help for medical equipment and testings for the virus that Trump said already solved, no problem.  Bill Gates even had to call out that the testings done in the US are bogus testings.

The Americans have done absolutely nothing for any country in this whole pandemic. Nothing, zero, zilch. Oops, they did a lot in stirring shit, sowing discords, blaming others, trying to start a fight, demonishing China in every opportunity until they forgot that their homeland is under attack and on fire.  Oh, they also indulged in modern day piracy. The whole world is watching how reckless, irresponsible and evil the Americans are.

On the other hand, China seized the bull by the horns, took swift and tough actions to lockdown and contain the problem from spreading all over China. If China had reacted like the Americans, the numbers would be quite frightening given its huge population and at a time when every Chinese was returning home for a family reunion. The infected rate and death toll would be unimaginable.

After putting this epidemic under control, China quietly went about helping every country with medical supplies, medical aid, expertise and medical personnel in the best way it could.  Many countries were very grateful to what the Chinese were doing but the ugly and mischievous Americans, instead of fighting this crisis in their homeland, had the luxury to politicise the pandemic and to smear China with all the negativities for everything China was doing to help the affected countries.

While China stood out as a silent benefactor to many countries, the Americans did nothing other than bahaving like pirates, stealing medical supplies from its allies for their own selfish use. Between the two superpowers, one was doing its best to help, the other was uttering rubbish and spreading its negative and destructive energy that were anything but being helpful. Covid19 has shown the world the ugliness of an inept and notorious shit stirrer in the Americans, no positive contribution except hot air and mishandling the crisis back home, leading to more American death in two months than the death of Americans in the 20 year Vietnam war.

Covid19 has shown the declining fortune of a has been Empire, hapless and clueless as to what this pandemic was all about but still has the energy to sow discord and ferment suspicion among countries.  This is exactly what a dying Empire in its last days is supposed to behave, making empty noises but doing nothing useful, incapable to doing anything useful in a crisis and still bragging about how well it has done to deal with this pandemic, in helping other countries. Which country did the Americans helped?

Where were you Americans, when your presence was sorely needed to lead the world in this world pandemic? The world post Covid19 will bade farewell to the dying American Empire and good riddance.  China will quietly do what it has to do and quietly taken over the role of world leader when the dust settles. The lack of positive leadership in the Americans is all there for the world to see, totally clueless and with a congenital liar clown in charge.  What a disappointment.

How would this Covid19 put the PAP leadership in the eyes of the Singaporeans? They were put to test in a crucial time when they were planning for an early GE after throwing out a series of goodies and thinking of reaping the rewards they were expecting. Now the GE is also in doubt, maybe a non starter. Would the PAP leadership pour accolades on themselves like Trump and his team for a job well done and go ahead with the GE? What is their own assessment of their performance, and what is the assessment of the Singaporeans?

If they is a GE, it will be a referendum on the ability of the PAP in tackling this crisis.  Good or bad, it will be reflected in the results. PAP will be judged by the people for sure.
