Who would have expected an American would envy the Brits the leader of no-deal Brexit?
But he was just on BBC talking about Britain moving to the next step, a relaxation of lockdown, beginning tomorrow.
Among other things, fines for non-compliance with social distancing, mask use, etc. are going up a bit.
Articulate, coherent, consistent, lucid - yes, a lot more like Barack Obama than Bozo.
The whole plan turns on measuring the rate of infection that right now is below one and needs to stay below one.
This "rate of infection" in America is called the R0 (R zero) number and in Europe is known as the R number, the average number of people who will be infected by each person who is already infected.
If it goes above one the virus is spreading, again, and the rollback will stop and even reverse as needed.
The change tomorrow will apply to England, while it seems Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland will hold up a bit.
If you can't work from home try to return to work, but not on public transport if at all possible and provided safety procedures for work are in place.
The talking heads looking at the detail of the government plan say its big lack is exactly detail.
And the reporting in the Guardian is
loaded with criticism.
Nicola Sturgeon is having no part of it.
Still I note Johnson's commitment to keeping the rate of infection at or below one is not echoed by Bozo or his clown club in the White House.
Johnson is emphatic about maintaining social distancing and keeping it down, and that the brakes will be applied as needed.
Our American leadership fully expects and
is committed to accepting a jump in new infections with rollback, indicating a rate of infection above one.
Heck, our leaders are not even waiting for new infections to stabilize, as
the gating criteria of the Duce's own fraudulently accepted and advertised CDC plan for rollback requires.
