RedFox Blog: Is There Any Real Defense ?

Post 789 23/1/21

There was astonishment on Wednesday 6th of January when thousands of Trump supporters invaded the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. This was a surprise by the former President Of the United States Donald Trump. Who claimed that the election was fraud. However you saw it the invasion was domestic terrorism and the police. Well some were caught off guard. Some though helped the rioters to enter the building. The people that formed congress and the both houses had to run for their lives or hid. This was a shameful day in any democracy.

It also showed how inadequate the security was for such an event. It was a MAGA rally held outside the White House which led to this. Some security knew that something of this kind was going to happen. But! still things took a turn for the worse. I have blogged about this for many years as countries cut back on the police and army. There is nothing worse than waking up one day and being proved right. It should not have happened. That’s for sure!. Hopefully the lessons for this will be learned across the whole world and in time the security forces of all countries will be restored.

Corridor Closed

The simple fact of life is that to go anywhere in the world you need to fly there. However the fact of life since March 2020 is that Coronavirus comes with it. Most countries then closed their airspace to anything flying in the air and sea ports to stop the spread of the virus. Then after the first wave of infections there was the air corridor in which certain countries could be visited without having to self isolate. But now even that option has died a death. It is now being urged to stay at home and not take a winter break. And the next question will be. Why ?

All Latin American countries have been the victims of another mutation of the virus. It is termed the Brazilian Mutation. It is to understood to be even worse than the UK mutation. Therefore the UK has stopped all entries passing through without a covid test. All air corridors and all countries are now subject to period of self isolation when people return from any country in the world. Even if it means you have returned from a country with no Cases of Covid-19. If you do return you have to take a test 72 hrs before your return and that has to be negative. And then when you return you must self isolate for at least ten days. It is all very frightening!
