THE ‘POPULISM’ OF PANDEMICS[col. Writ. 9/9/20 (c) ’20 Mumia Abu-Jamal] For months now, the nation has been battered by the ravages of Covid19: the coronavirus. With millions of people infected, and over 190,000 people now dead, it now turn out that from the very start, the US President knew a great deal about Covid19. How? China’s leader, XI Jinping, told him everything - in February, 2020.For months now, President Trump called the emerging pandemic a “hoax”, and heatedly blamed China and it’s leader, for not informing Americans about the disease. He called it ‘Kung Flu’ - remember? Instead, it burned across the country like wildfire, leaving sickness and death in its wake. Not since the influenza epidemic of 1918 has the nation seen such loss of life. And it’s not over; Covid19 continues to stalk the land, causing death and destruction all over the world. Sad to say, it ain’t over - by a long shot. —(c)’19 maj
