Letter from Mrs. Hutchinson to The Council of the Village:
I am writing to you about the lottery which we hold every year. In this lottery
which a person is chosen at random and is stoned to death. I understand that you believe
that since it has been tradition for so long and therefore, it is okay. It has been going on
for as long as I can remember.
This method has been around since the time when Jesus
walked the earth. We see it in all kinds of stories in the Bible. We definitely have to
pick somebody in the village for the lottery. We have to have s person that we know or
the crops might go bad. The idea of a lottery makes it fair for all those who participate.
This way there is no one person that is singled out of the group.
It also brings a sense of
family values, at least in my family. With all everyone in my family being so busy it is
very rare that all the members of my family are together for any reason of the lottery. It
is amazing the way that all the families come together in anticipation. In this right, it
also gives our village a sense of community and brings us closer together. Everybody
knows everybody and the lottery draws us yet closer together. It is very rare to see a
whole community come together and I am glad to be part of one that does.
Leadership is
a quality the men in out village have. The reason they have this quality is due to the men
taking charge and picking for their families in the lottery. If the did not pick something
could go wrong with the crops. Once the whole lottery is all over the crops will be better
off according to the superstition. This helps the village from running out of food, and I
do not want to see my family starving to death.
Though it is a tradition that has been around for ages, the lottery is just not right.
I find it to be quite immoral. By killing mothers and fathers of children, or even worse
taking children from their parents in such a horrible way, hurts those that are affected.
This breaks up families and hurts all of those in the family that is chosen. If the husband
or father of a family is selected, the family is going to be hurt very badly financially.
Think of all of your loved ones. The idea of losing a family member to an illness is hard
enough, but losing a family member to something that can be totally prevented would
hurt worse.
Other towns in the area have stopped the lottery. The crops in the other
towns have been larger than ours since they have stopped their lotteries. It has been this
way because they had more people to do the harvesting. The lottery is out of date and not
meant for todays society. Stoning people to death was frowned upon in the past and I
believe it should still be that way. Killing people this way also breeds violence in our
Children collecting rocks in the town square in anticipation of being the one
to give the fatal blow to the unlucky person drawn. Guarding their piles of rocks so that
they can be the person to throw the most stones. This is so scary to think of innocent
children being so cruel. This method of population control just plain hurts. Stoning
people to death is cruel and unusual punishment.
I believe that compromise is vital to the health of the community.
Death is an
extremely drastic measure of population control. There are other options that I would
like to bring to the attention of the council. Instead of a person being killed I believe that
he or she could become an outcast for a year or so. This way the person is out of the
town and is no longer overpopulating our community, or we could have the family which
draws the black dot to move away. This will give more room for other families to move
in, or even more land for farming. We could even come up with a brand new tradition.
The council in office can go down in history for being the council that came up with a
new tradition .

Two days after Afghanistan announced conditional ceasefire with the Taliban, several rockets landed in Kabul city on Tuesday morning during President Ashraf Ghani's Eid prayer ceremony.
The attack took place when Ghani was addressing a gathering during the ceremony at around 9 am (local time), reported agencies.
Responding to the attack, the Afghan President said, "There are groups that continuing the violence and with the firing of rockets they cannot stop the people of Afghanistan's development."
According to the reports, the rockets were fired at the Presidential Palace and around the Green Zone.
Earlier on Sunday, Ghani declared a conditional ceasefire with the Taliban for a period of three months to mark the Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday. The military operations will, however, continue against the Taliban, until it announces a formal ceasefire.

Real Estate Investing | Memphis Foreclosures and Home Values
Memphis real estate investors continue to get good news from independent analysts on the near future for Memphis investment properties.
Clear Capital recently released its' Home Value Index report for 2011 with data on major real estate markets around the country and their chief economists updated predictions for those markets. As has been the case in the past, there are pockets of the country that seem almost unaffected by the housing crisis and other parts of the country that may never recover. Memphis appears to be somewhere in the middle as economists are predicting Memphis Real Estate to appreciate 3.2% in the coming year. That may not seem like a big boost, but Memphis is one of only four markets expected to appreciate in the coming year.

Corbyn and May argue over whose party is more racist
The argument from both sides was essentially 'well, my party might be racist, but yours is worse'
Today's Prime Minister's Questions provided a rather dispiriting summary of the current political scene. The two leaders of the main political parties ended up having a fight on whose party had the bigger racism problem, sparked by tweets from the US president telling black and minority ethnic Congresswomen to 'go back'.
Jeremy Corbyn tried to open the session on climate change, but Theresa May had, unsurprisingly, turned up clutching the advert placed by Labour peers in today's Times, which said Corbyn had 'failed the test of leadership' because of his attitude to anti-Semitism.
And so the exchanges moved to a predictable format. Corbyn retorted that his party was the first to pass anti-racist legislation, suggesting that Labour therefore couldn't be racist, merely because it said it wasn't. And he then brought up the problem of Islamophobia in the Conservative party, claiming 60 per cent of Tory members think Islam is a threat to civilisation. So the argument from both sides was essentially 'well, my party might be racist, but yours is worse'. Not particularly edifying stuff.
The advert from Labour peers is indeed highly significant. Members of the House of Lords have more freedom to attack Corbyn because they have no local party waiting to deselect them. But it is still a big thing to do to air criticisms like this in public, suggesting that the peers feel their private channels of communication with the Leader's Office have broken down irreparably.
Their intervention is also the latest in a series of public criticisms from Labour parliamentarians and staff members which are adding to the sense that the leadership does not have a grip on the party. This, of course, is exactly what Corbyn's opponents have been planning for – on which more in tomorrow's Spectator.
The response from Corbyn's spokesman this afternoon illustrated how those around the leader approach complaints generally, whether anti-Semitism or sexual harassment. He told journalists that 'many have a public record of opposition to Jeremy Corbyn', but that the leadership recognised there were concerns about anti-Semitism. Complaints are always viewed through a political prism: if you're complaining about how the party handles anti-Semitism, it is not because you are worried about Jew hatred, but because you want to undermine Jeremy Corbyn. Complaints against political allies are to be suppressed or dismissed, while complaints against enemies are useful tools. The problem for Corbyn is that a critical mass in his party now doesn't see it that way, which ironically makes him more politically vulnerable.

Epidemiology & Interpreting Health Data
Epidemiology forms the foundation of public health. It involves the calculation of qualitative and quantitative data to determine the incidence and prevalence of disease, and is utilised to monitor, control and acknowledge health trends in communities and populations. Ultimately, it allows us the ability to determine if a disease is really problematic for a population, or specific population group, and subsequently indicates the appropriate application of health promotion and education targeted towards preventing the transmission of communicable disease, and the development of chronic non-communicable illnesses.It's intended to not only measure disease, health determinants, and mortality, but also to acknowledge what works, and what doesn't, in working towards achieving positive health outcomes and trends.
epidemics and pandemics!
The Diseases That Threaten Us
An increase, often sudden, in the number of cases of a disease above what is normally expected for a population in a specific area (CDC, 2012).
The worldwide spread of a new disease (WHO, 2020).
Epidemics and pandemics are incredibly scary, and that's with good reason when we look at how they've impacted us historically. The 1918 pandemic of H1N1, or Spanish Influenza, is the deadliest pandemic seen in recorded human history. Throughout its path of destruction, the virus instilled fear in global communities as it took the lives of typically healthy adults, causing over 50 million deaths worldwide, totalling 3% of the recorded global population (CDC, 2019).
"the mother of all pandemics"
The thing with epidemics and pandemics is that they defy the expansive progress and extensive knowledge held within our modern medical and health services. Experts and researchers ponder whether a communicable disease outbreak in the present day could mirror the outcomes seen in the 1918 influenza pandemic, and many believe to a certain extent - despite the advancements in vaccines, medical practice and health promotion - that it's possible due to the pathogens evolving and lurking in the ecosystems of our globalised world - cue, front and centre today - the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (CDC, 2019).
the 2019 novel coronavirus
A global public health emergency
We've seen strains of the coronavirus before, in both Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), however the 2019-nCOV is only just emerging.
In December 2019, an unprecedented measure of pneumonia cases emerged in Wuhan, Hubei, China. Despite clinical presentations greatly resembling those of viral pneumonia, the cause of the outbreak was initially unknown until a shared history of exposure to the Huanan Seafood Market was identified across the patients. Formal investigation of the outbreak began on 31st December 2019, narrowing in on the source of the developing epidemic and the market closed on 1st January 2020 (CDCC, 2020). The patients were isolated whilst a team of physicians, epidemiologists, virologists, and government officials was formed in the province to commence work on identifying and addressing the disease. "Deep sequencing analysis from lower respiratory tract samples indicated a novel coronavirus" (Huang, et al, 2020).
As indicated through the use of the term 'novel', this virus has not previously been identified. However, virological analysis has identified that the n-CoV closely resembles coronavirus present in chrysanthemum bat populations residing in the Chinese province of Yunnan. It is most likely that this is the primary source of the virus, however this is not proven. Lesser known, is the intermediary host infected with the virus prior to its transmission to humans (Huaiyu, 2020).
On 20th January 2020, the virus was classified as a 'Class B Notifiable Disease', enforcing the legal requirement that all diagnosed cases be reported to China's Infectious Disease Information System (CDCC, 2020). The outcome of this is increased reporting, resulting in a subsequent increase in the solidity and reliability of data attained and reported.
On Thursday 29th January 2020, the World Health Organisation declared the virus a global health emergency, highlighting their concern surrounding the increasing incidence of the virus, and the associated mortality rate, globally, as well as diagnosis in those who have not recently travelled to China (Huang, et al, 2020).
The 2019 novel coronavirus is considered to be less severe than other coronavirus, like SARS, however it is more contagious (CDCC, 2020). Virologists attribute this to a few points:
The virus has the ability to spread during the incubation period (the period between exposure to an infection and the appearance of the first symptoms, which for the novel coronavirus can be up to 14 days) meaning it is contagious for a long time;
The clinical symptoms are atypical, and in some cases present asymptomatically (the absence of symptoms), causing a high possibility of missed diagnosis;
The epidemic coincided with the Chinese Spring Festival, where population movements were frequent enhancing the possibility of viral spread (Huaiyu, 2020).
...Where are we at now?
The World Health Organisation have announced the official name for 2019 n-COV is COVID-19. This is in keeping with the World Health Organisation's guidelines for naming new human infectious diseases.
Incidence and Epidemic
As published in the World Health Organisation Situation Report of 20th February 2020, there are 75,748 diagnosed cases globally. Of these 74,675 are in China.
The reportable diagnostic criteria has changed. Laboratory diagnosis (throat swab) was initially the only method of classifying confirmed diagnosed cases, however diagnosis within the Hubei province has changed to include a clinical diagnosis (assessment by a medical practitioner determined by the presentation of symptoms). This provides us with a better picture of how many people have been infected with the coronavirus.
Given the high incidence of COVID-19 in China, as presented in Table 1, and the low incidence of COVID-19 out of China, as presented in Table 2, the outbreak is considered an epidemic rather than a pandemic.
Situation Report 20 February 2020
World Health Organisation, 2020
Situation Report 20 February 2020
World Health Organisation, 2020
The Data
The Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention released a publication titled 'The Epidemiological Characteristics of an Outbreak of 2019 Novel Coronavirus Diseases (COVID-19) - China 2020', encompassing a descriptive, exploratory analysis of all novel coronavirus cases diagnosed from 31st December 2019 through 11th February 2020, through utlisation of data taken from China's Infectious Disease Information System - remember, as of 20th January 2020, all previous and newly diagnosed cases are legally required to be reported here.
This report is in keeping with a cross-sectional study design, which by definition analyses data from a population at a specific point in time. In this instance, we are looking at those diagnosed with COVD-19 in China, since the known onset of the virus.
The analysis refers to 72,314 diagnosed patients*, however the epidemiological discussion refers only to the 44,672 laboratory confirmed cases.
*61% confirmed (laboratory diagnosis), 14.6% clinically diagnosed (Hubei only), and 1.2% asymptomatic (diagnosed based on positive laboratory test result with the absence of symptoms)
The analysis includes:
A summary of patient information;
An examination of age distributions and sex ratios;
Calculating of case fatality and mortality rates;
Geotemporal analysis of viral spread;
Epidemiological curve; and
Subgroup analysis
But! we're trying to keep things simple though, so let me break the findings down for you!
Virus Categorisation - COVID-19 has been allocated severity classifications:
Mild - category symptoms include non-pneumonia or mild pneumonia
36,160 confirmed cases** (80.9% of total confirmed cases)
Severe - category symptoms include dyspnea (shortness of breath), decreased blood oxygen saturation
6,168 confirmed cases** (13.8% of total confirmed cases)
Critical - category symptoms include respiratory failure, septic shock, multiple organ dysfunction/failure
2,087 confirmed cases** (4.7% of total confirmed cases)
**Referring to the 44,672 laboratory confirmed cases in China as at 11th February 2020
This shows us that an overwhelming proportion of the diagnosed cases are considered mild, with a smaller proportion developing into severe or critical categorisation dependant on the symptoms present.
Let's take a deeper look at who's been infected by the virus!
Hubei Province:
33,367** confirmed cases (74.7% of total confirmed cases)
979 deaths (95.7% of total attributable deaths)
Other (in China):
11,305** confirmed cases (25.3% of total confirmed cases)
44 deaths (4.3% of total attributable deaths)
Wuhan related exposure:
Yes = 31,974** (85.8% of total confirmed cases)
853 deaths (92.8% of total attributable deaths)
**Referring to the 44,672 laboratory confirmed cases in China as at 11th February 2020
This tells us that the epicentre of the virus, the Hubei Province, is still very much experiencing the brunt of the viral outbreak. It also tells us that of the diagnosed cases in China, a vast majority have exposure to Wuhan - the capital of the Hubei Province, and the home of the Huanan Seafood Market where the initial cases of the virus in humans have been traced back to.
Age (%**)
0-9 years = 416 (0.9%)
10-19 years = 549 (1.2%)
20-29 years = 3,619 (8.1%)
30-39 years = 7,600 (17.0%)
40-49 years = 8,571 (19.2%)
50-59 years = 10,008 (22.4%)
60-69 years = 8,583 (19.2%)
70-79 years = 3, 918 (8.8%)
>80 years = 1,408 (3.2%)
**Referring to the 44,672 laboratory confirmed cases in China as at 11th February 2020
This tells us that majority of those infected with COVID-19 are in the middle life-span stages. These are typically considered as healthy, low risk age groups, which we'll refer back to when we look at the associated fatality rate.
Fatality Rate
The fatality rate is the number of deaths from a specific cause. It is calculated by using the following equation:
total number of deaths/total number of confirmed cases x 100
Fatality rate for study data set = 2.3% for this data set (11/2/20)
Age categorisation:
>80 years = 14.8% **
79-79 years = 8.0% **
60-69 years = 3.6%
50-59 years = 1.3%
40-49 years = 0.4%
30-39 years = 0.2%
20-29 years = 0.2%
10-19 years = 0.2%
0-9 years = N/A
Critical viral categorisation fatality rate = 49%
Remember that of the 44,672 confirmed lab diagnosis as at 11th February 2020, 4.7% of total confirmed cases were categorised as critical.
Due to incomplete/missing comorbidity data it is unclear as to whether those diagnosed may be compromised due to specific co-morbid risk factors such as the presence of another disease like cardiovascular disease for example. For the middle life-span age groups, who have the highest incidence of viral infection, the fatality risk if low, compared to the elderly, who are more likely to experience death as an outcome of contracting the virus. A greater understanding of co-morbidity data would allow us to reinforce the hypothesis that those with co-morbid illness, or previously compromised health, are more likely to experience the virus severely or critically than those who are healthy. Nonetheless, this assists us in defining vulnerable population groups by age, which is incredibly helpful in the diagnostic and early treatment stages, as well as promoting literacy towards the virus (what it is, what the symptoms are, what to do, etc.).
Vulnerable Communities
Anyone exposed to COVID-19 is at risk of contracting the virus, however present epidemiology informs us that most healthy adults host the capacity to recover well. For the elderly, aged 70 or over, the risk of the virus becoming severe or critical is higher than other life-span stages within the population.
The Symptoms
Through monitoring of the COVID-19 as outlined above, it is now known to present acutely with symptoms resembling 'the flu' or pneumonia, including high body temperature, fatigue, body aches/myalgia, difficulty or laboured breathing, cough, and/or sputum production, and hosts the capacity to develop into a more severe lung infection or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Protecting yourself
The World Health Organisation recommend following the below protocols:
Frequently clean hands by using alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water;
When coughing and sneezing cover mouth and nose with flexed elbow or tissue – throw tissue away immediately and wash hands;
Avoid close contact with anyone who has fever and cough;
If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing seek medical care early and share previous travel history with your health care provider;
When visiting live markets in areas currently experiencing cases of novel coronavirus, avoid direct unprotected contact with live animals and surfaces in contact with animals;
The consumption of raw or undercooked animal products should be avoided. Raw meat, milk or animal organs should be handled with care, to avoid cross-contamination with uncooked foods, as per good food safety practices.

In comparison the the 1918 H1N1 outbreak, we are so far medically advanced that our capacity to address epidemic disease, and potentially subsequent pandemic outbreak is greater than it has ever been before. A glimmer of hope presented itself this week as Australian Researchers at Melbourne's Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity, advised us they had developed the first lab grown 2019 n-COV reproduction out of China. Today, the virus has been sent to a secure CSIRO research laboratory in Geelong, where the virus will be examined, with the intention of achieving a 16-week deadline to test a vaccine on humans (Scott & Timms, 2020)

Last Time You Heard of "Flattening the Curve"?
We were told that many or most Americans workers had to be idled to "flatten the curve" of contaminations. This means simply that it was desirable to avoid having a sudden upsurge of people infected so that hospitals would not be overwhelmed. Officials – including the president and the Gov of California, Nancy's nephew – never gave us any other reason for confinement.
Notably, limiting the total, final number of contaminations was not the reason. Instead, and since no vaccine is in our short sights – herd immunity will save us. But the slower the rate of contamination, the later we will enjoy herd immunity. Thus, a policy of confinement may cause more deaths that it avoids. I am not saying it's the case; I don't know. It's just plausible based on the info I am given, including by my government(s).
Well, I am reasonably sure that to-date, C-virus patients have not overwhelmed American hospitals except in New York City. How do I know? The end-of-time loving, Trump-hating media would make sure I would know it if any American hospital were in a catastrophic situation caused by an unexpected influx of patients. That main danger seems past. It does not mean that individuals should not take common sense precautions, including social distancing. I know I do (but I am old).
In the meantime, the American economy is undergoing an unprecedented disaster; I mean, unprecedented in my lifetime. No mystery: When people don't work, wealth is not being generated. The solution to this problem is as obvious as it seems: More people have to go back to work. In this connection, I think it's time to discuss something that should also be obvious: Working at close quarters leads to contamination, and thus, for some categories of the population, to death. Economic contraction leads to sectorial poverty which also kills people. Panic also kills people: surgeries and other medical interventions are being re-scheduled all over the country. No doubt, patients are dying as a result, indirect victims of the pandemics. (And many doctors are complaining of loss of income.)
Who should go back to work? A is always the case, this issue must be resolved as close as possible to those most directly concerned. In this case, it's the employees themselves and their employers. This principle does not necessarily lead to the wisest decisions; it makes bad decisions less consequential than would be the case for decisions taken by government at the federal level. It makes rolling back bad decisions more likely.
During all this confinement period, my fellow-citizens' general submissiveness horrified me. (I had two postings on this.) It seems that submission is over. There is a mass automobile protest going on in Lansing, Michigan as I write. It's directed at the governor of that state, an extreme example of schoolmarmism gone mad. ("Why do I have to do it?" "Because I say so!")
By the way, if you fear the rise of America fascism, don't look for guns, look for ballpoints.

The Myth of the Nazi War Machine
Nazism and fascism, in the popular imagination, are associated with evil, immoral, inhumane treatment across conquered groups and their own subjects alike. These evil actions loom even larger because the thought of an entire society dedicated to military industry, extending its reach across and beyond Europe, inspires ghastly fears not only of evil intent but also astonishing military might that could overwhelm the Allies with the technological wonder of the V2 rocket, the deadly and ever-present U-boat threat, and the German "Royal Tiger" tank that was so well armored that Sherman-fired shells literally bounced off of it. This vision of the Nazis as conquering through technological and industrial superiority is not just a mistake of modern historians, but is actually based on the overestimation of their foes by the Allies and on the disastrously misplaced overconfident messaging of the Germans, Italians, and Japanese that their technology, industrial power, and elan gave them even a chance of victory. The miscalculation of the Hitler in extrapolating his successes in Poland and France to assuming his alliance could overwhelm the combined defenses of over 1.5 billion people represents the most astonishing delusion in military history.
The inspiration for this comes from Victor Davis Hanson's fascinating economic and industrial history, The Second World Wars. One of his major arguments is that the Axis leaders lost because their commitment to their ideology became a fantasy that they had abilities that directly contradicted the reality of their actual abilities and those of their opponents. I heartily recommend the book and this shorter interview where he lays out the book's central concepts. My major takeaway was that this fantasy has gone beyond the minds of Hitler, Tojo, and Mussolini, and the vision of a vast industrial empire looming over the world is now imprinted on our memory of World War II. I think it is past time that we recognize Nazism as not only immoral but also incompetent. Below, I hope to share some astonishing statistics that show beyond a shadow of a doubt that the modern concept of Nazi military might is a myth.
- The Allies rode in cars, the Germans rode horses. In 1939, the only transportation available to 85% of German infantry other than walking was horses. By 1945…it was still 85%. In total, the US and UK produced almost 4 million general-use vehicles, compared to 160,000 German vehicles. That is a 25-fold advantage. The Allies also had 1 million infantry-supporting artillery compared to less than 100,000 for all of the Axis.
- Where were the supplies? The Allies had 46 million tonnes of merchant shipping vessels to the Axis' 5 million, five times as much aluminum (key for engines and planes), and by 1943 had cut off all German access to rare metals such as tungsten, one of the key metals used in munitions, manufacturing, and electronics. The US supplied Britain and the USSR through the Lend-Lease Act with almost $700 billion (inflation-adjusted 2019 dollars) in supplies throughout the war, which is roughly double the entire German annual GDP in 1939.
- The Allies swam to victory on a sea of oil. Though Rommel came within a battle of accessing the British Middle-Eastern oil fields, the Axis still had astonishingly little fuel (which they needed to power their King Tiger, which drank a gallon of gas every 700 yards, the vast Luftwaffe that put over 130,000 planes into action, and their gigantic battleship Bismark). The Axis as a whole used 66 million metric tonnes of oil, while the Allies used a billion. A 15X advantage.
- The panzers were neither numerous nor superior technologically. The Mark 1 and 2 panzers that conquered France were actually less numerous and less technologically advanced than France's. While blitzkrieg and elan overwhelmed the French, even the Mark 4–the most commonly used panzer in the late war–underperformed Shermans in infantry support and reliability and were even considered inferior to the Soviet T34 by Hitler himself. Even including the outmoded Czech tanks repurposed by the Germans, they fielded only 67,000 tanks on all fronts to face 270,000 Allied tanks (with no help from Italy, with a pitiful 3,300 tanks, and Japan largely ignored mobile land armor and created only 4,500 tanks). The environment of idealogical zeal in Germany prevented a military researcher from telling Hitler about the true tank numbers of the Soviets, as Hitler himself recognized later in the war by repeating that if he had known the true number of T34's he faced, he would never have invaded. The US and USSR deployed massive numbers of upgraded Shermans and the workhorse T34s, while Germany sank huge investments into specialized and scary duds the Royal Tiger–300,000 man-hours and ten times as much as a Sherman. Only 1,300 Royal Tigers were ever produced, and their 70 tonnes of weight, constant mechanical issues, and cost undercut their supremacy in tank-on-tank duels. The US and Britain used precision bombing to inflict major tank losses on Germany, and while German tanks outfought Soviet tanks roughly 4:1, by 1945 the Soviets still had 25,000 tanks against the Germans' 6,000.
- Collaboration helps both tech and strategy. The Allies worked together–the Sherman's underpowered 75mm (corrected) could be upgraded with a British gun because of interoperability of parts, and the US and Brits delivered over 12,000 tanks and 18,000 planes to the Soviets under Lend-Lease; the Germans did not even have replaceable parts for their own tanks, and the Germans never helped their Italian allies (who had lost a land invasion even to the collapsing French) develop industrial capabilities. Bletchley Park gave advance warning to US merchant convoys, but the Italians and Japanese found out that Hitler had invaded the USSR only after troops had crossed into Ukraine.
- Fascism is not industrially sound. Even though the Nazis put an astonishing 75% of their GDP toward the military by 1944 and despite taking on unsustainable debt to sustain their production, their GDP in 1939 was $384 billion, roughly equal to the Soviets and $100 billion less than the UK and France combined. By the end of the war, this fell to $310 billion, compared to a whopping $1.4 trillion US GDP. However, even these numbers do not fully represent how non-mechanized, non-scalable, and non-industrial Germany was even under military dictatorship. While German science and engineering had been pre-eminent pre-WW I, the central control and obsession with infeasible, custom projects before and during the war meant that the Germans had a lower percentage of their population that could be mobilized for wartime production than their opponents, not to mention that their GDP per capita was half of that of the US, and yet the Axis still took on opponents that had productive populations five times their size.
- The V2 was a terrible investment. After losing the Battle of Britain (largely because of inferior training, radar, and plane production), the Nazis tried to use ballistic missiles to bomb the Brits into submission. The less technologically sophisticated V1 delivered a respectable 1,000 kg of explosives, but despite launching over 10,000, by mid-1944 the British countermeasures stopped 80% of these, and many misfired, failed to explode, or had guidance system malfunctions. The V2 was more sophisticated, but was never mass produced: only 3,000 were launched, and more Nazis were killed as part of the development of the rocket than Brits by their launch. The V1 and V2 programs combined cost 50% more than the Manhattan project, and even compared to the US's most expensive bombing program (developing the B29), the cost-per-explosives-delivered was thirty times higher for the V2.
- The Luftwaffe was completely overmatched even by the RAF alone. Before the Battle of Britain, the Luftwaffe (2,500 planes) outnumbered the RAF (about 1,500), and the RAF was using more outdated Hurricanes than they were the newer Spitfire; however, the Brits scaled up training and production and even put novel innovations into their manufacturing within the 3 months of battle.
- The Germans underestimated the scalability of their opponent's production. By the end of the war, the Brits manufactured 177,000 planes, 44,000 more than Germany. Crucially, though they started the war with far fewer experienced pilots, the Brits used this production advantage to train their pilots far better (in fact, the Brits had over 40,000 training aircraft). The US was similarly underprepared in terms of both aircraft production and training, but within a year had increased production from one B-24 every two weeks in 1940 to one every two hours in 1942. The US manufactured almost 300,000 planes by the end of the war, with far superior bombers (the figher-resistant B-17 and the giant, sophisticated Super Fortress B-29). However, the German air force personnel still needed to be more numerous than either the US or Britain because of the lack of mechanization.
- The Germans could not replace their pilots. By early 1945, the Germans were losing 30% of their pilots every month, even after giving up on bombing campaigns because of high pilot and plane attrition. They never scaled training and were sending completely green pilots against well-trained Allied opponents who had numerical, technological, and experience superiority by 1943 and air supremacy by 1944.
- The Germans did not deploy new air technologies to their advantage. While the jet engine and V2 rockets would revolutionize air power after the war, they did not impact the outcome of the war except to drain German R&D. Germany also failed to develop a functional heavy bomber, did not update their fighters' technology during the war, never fully or effectively deployed radar, and never matched the Allies' anti-aircraft defenses.
- The Allies could win through strategic bombing, but the reverse was not true. Both sides targeted industry and killed civilians en masse in strategic campaigns, but Germany never had the ability to strategically reduce their enemies' production. Though Germany dropped 760,000 tonnes of ordnance on the Soviets and systematically destroyed production west of the Urals, the Soviets moved their industry to the East and continued outproducing their opponents with respect to tanks, vehicles, artillery, machine guns, and munitions. The Germans never produced a functional 4-engine bomber, so they could not use strategic bombing to undercut industry beyond this; the Blitz killed 40,000 civilians and destroyed over a million homes, but never developed into a threat against British military production. This also cost the Luftwaffe over 2,200 planes and 3,500 of their best pilots. However, nearly every major German and Japanese city was reduced by an unbelievable 3.5 million tonnes of ordnance dropped by the Allies, which killed over 700,000 German and Japanese civilians and destroyed the majority of both empires' military production.
- The U-boat campaign became a colossal failure by 1943. Though the unrestricted submarine warfare of 1940-41 was sinking enough merchant vessels to truly threaten British supplies, Allied countermeasures–code-cracking, sonar, depth charges, Hedgehogs, Squids, and the use of surface aircraft to screen fleets–systematically destroyed the U-boats, which had losses of over 80% by the end of the war. In fact, the Germans barely managed to exceed the total merchant losses inflicted in World War I, and in May-June 1943 only sank two ships for every U-boat lost, ending the Battle of the Atlantic in just two disastrous months. The US was producing ships and supplies so quickly and in such vast quantities that the U-boats needed to sink 700,000 tonnes of shipping every month just to keep up with this production, which they did in only one month (November 1942); this number sank to less than a tenth of that by early 1943.
- The US actually waged a successful submarine campaign. Unlike the Germans, the US completely neutered the Japanese merchant fleet using submarines, which also inflicted over 55% of total Japanese fleet losses during the war, with minimal losses of submarine crews. Using just 235 submarines, the US sank 1,000 ships, compared to roughly 2,000 sunk by Germany (which cost almost 800 U-boat losses).
- Naval war had changed, and only the US responded. After the sinking of the HMS Prince of Wales near Singapore, all nations should have recognized that naval air forces were the new way to rule the waves. And yet, the Germans only ever built a single aircraft carrier despite their need to support operations in North Africa, and built the Tirpitz, a gigantic Bismarck-class battleship (that cost as much as 20 submarines), which barely participated in any offensive action before being destroyed by successive air raids. Germany never assembled a fleet capable of actually invading Britain, so even if they had won the Battle of Britain, there were no serious plans to actually conquer the island. Japan recognized the importance of aircraft carriers, and built 18, but the US vastly overmatched them with at least 100 (many of them more efficient light carriers), and Japan failed to predict how naval air supremacy would effectively cut them off from their empire and enable systematic destruction of their homeland without a single US landing on Japanese home soil.
- The Nazis forgot blitzkrieg. The rapid advances of Germany in 1939 is largely attributable to the decentralized command structure that enabled leaders on the front to respond flexibly based on mission-driven instructions rather than bureaucracy. However, as early as Dunkirk (when Hitler himself held back his tank forces out of fear), the command structure had already shifted toward top-down bureaucracy that drummed out gifted commanders and made disastrous blunders through plodding focuses on besieging Sevastopol and Stalingrad rather than chasing the reeling Soviets. Later, the inflexibility of defenses and "no-retreat" commands that allowed encirclement of key German forces replayed in reverse the inflexibility of the Maginot line and Stalin's early mistakes, showing that the fascist system prevented learning from one's enemy and even robbed the Germans of their own institutional advantages over the course of the war.
- Even the elan was illusory. Both Germany and Japan knew they were numerically inferior and depended on military tradition and zeal to overcome this. While German armies generally went 1:1 or better (especially in 1941 against the Soviets, when they killed or captured 4 million badly-led, outdated Soviet infantry), even the US–fighting across an ocean, with green infantry and on the offensive against the dug-in Germans–matched the Germans in commitment to war and inflicted casualties at 1:1. At the darkest hour, alone against the entire continent and while losing their important Pacific bases one by one, the Brits threw themselves into saving themselves and the world from fascists; only secret police and brute force kept the Nazis afloat once the tide had turned. The German high command was neutered by the need for secrecy and the systematic replacement of talented generals with loyal idiots, and the many mutinies, surrenders, and assassination attempts by Nazi leaders show that the illusory unity of fascism was in fact weaker under pressure than the commitment and cooperation of democratic systems.
- The Nazis never actually had plans that could win an existential war. Blitzkrieg scored some successes against the underprepared Poles and demoralized French, but these major regional victories were fundamentally of a different character than the conflicts the Nazis proceeded to start. While the Germans did take over a million square miles from the Soviets while destroying a 4-million-strong army, the industry was eventually transferred beyond the Urals and the Soviets replenished their army with, over 4 years, a further 30 million men. But most of all, even if Hitler somehow achieved what Napoleon himself could not, neither he nor Tojo had any ability to attack Detroit, so an implacable, distant foe was able to rain down destruction without ever facing a threat on home soil. The Nazis simply did not have the technology, money, or even the plans to conquer their most industrially powerful opponent, and perhaps the greatest tragedy of the entire war is that 60 million people died to prove something that was obvious from the start.
Overall, the Nazis failed to recognize how air and naval air superiority would impact the war effort, still believed that infantry zeal could overcome technological superiority, could not keep pace with the scale of the Allies' industry or speed of their technological advances, spent inefficiently on R&D duds, never solved crucial resource issues, and sacrificed millions of their own subjects in no-retreat disasters. Fooled by their early success, delusions of grandeur, and belief in their own propaganda, Hitler and his collaborators not only instituted a morally repugnant regime but destroyed themselves. Fascism a scary ideology that promises great power for great personal sacrifice, but while the sacrifice was real, the power was illusory: as a system, it actually underperformed democracy technologically, strategically, industrially, and militarily in nearly every important category. Hopefully, this diametrical failure is evidence enough for even those who are morally open to fascism to discard it as simply unworkable. And maybe, if we dispel the myth of Nazi industry, we can head off any future experiments in fascism and give due recognition to the awe-inspiring productivity of systems that recognize the value of liberty.
This is in no way exhaustive, and in the interest of space I have not included the analogous Italian and Japanese military delusions and industrial shortcomings in World War II. I hope that this shortlist of facts inspires you to learn more and tell posterity that fascism is not only evil but delusional and incompetent.

"10 little-known fascist governments"
That's the subject of my weekend's RealClearHistory column. An excerpt:
7. Romania and the Iron Guard. Sandwiched between the communist Soviet Union and the fascist Axis powers of central Europe, Romanian society struggled to find its footing after a comparatively wonderful campaign during World War I, but Bucharest eventually chose to side with Berlin and Rome instead of Moscow. Romanian fascism was known for including the Orthodox Church into its anti-communist, anti-Semitic, and anti-capitalist rhetoric. Romania's fascists almost made the Nazis look like boy scouts, especially when the Iron Guard organized and implemented one of Europe's bloodiest pogroms, ever: the Iași pogrom. Just over 13,000 Jews, along with their liberal and Orthodox defenders in the city of Iași, were butchered on the streets where they once plied their trades. Romania, a member of the Axis for most of the war, was second only to Germany in the number of Jews it killed during World War II.

In 1798, in view of the Pyramids, a French expeditionary force defeated the strange caste of slave-soldiers, the Mamlukes, who had been ruling Egypt for several centuries. The Mamlukes charged the French infantry squares on horseback, ending their charge with the throwing of javelins. The Mamlukes were thus eliminated from history. The French lost 29 soldiers. In the conventional narrative, the battle woke up the whole Muslim world from its long and haughty slumber. The defeat, the pro-active reforms of Napoleon's short-lived occupancy, and the direct influence of the French scholars he had brought with him lit the wick of the candle of reform or, possibly, of enlightenment throughout the Islamic world.
De Bellaigue picks up this conventional narrative and follows it to the beginning of the 20th century with a dazzling richness of details. This is an imperfect yet welcome thick book on a subject seldom well covered.
This book has, first, the merit of existing. Many people of culture, well-read people with an interest in Islam – Islam the sociological phenomenon, rather than the religion – know little of the travails of its attempted modernization. Moreover, under current conditions of political correctness the very subject smells a little of sulfur: What if we looked at Muslim societies more closely and we found in them some sort of intrinsic inferiority? I mean by this, an inferiority that could not easily be blamed on the interference of Western, Christian or formerly Christian, capitalist societies. Of course, such a finding could only be subjective but still, many would not like it, and not only Muslims.
Second, and mostly unintentionally, possibly inadvertently, the book casts a light, an indirect light to be sure, on Islamist (fundamentalist) terrorism. It's simple: Enlightened individuals of any religious background are not likely to be also fanatics willing to massacre perfect strangers. Incidentally, I examine this issue myself in a fairly parochial vein, in an essay in the libertarian publication Liberty Unbound: "Religious Bric-à-Brac and Tolerance of Violent Jihad" (January 2015). With his broader perspective, with his depth of knowledge, De Bellaigue could have done a much better job of this than I could ever do. Unfortunately he ignored the subject almost entirely. It wasn't his topic, some will say. It was not his period of history. Maybe.
Algeria: a sparse memory
In 1962, France and the Algerian nationalists came to an agreement about Algerian independence. That was after 130 years of French colonization and eight years of brutal war including war against civilians. I participated in the evacuation of large number of French civilians from the country as a little sailor. The number who wanted to leave was much greater than anyone expected. It was too bad that they left in such large numbers. It was a pity for all concerned. The events were a double tragedy or a tragedy leading to a tragedy. The Algerian independence fighters who had prevailed by shedding quantities of their blood were not (not) Islamists. In most respects, intellectually and otherwise, they were a lot like me.
The true revolutionaries were soon replaced however by professional soldiers that I think of as classical but fairly moderate fascists. I went back to Algeria six years after independence. I was warmly received and I liked the people there. People invited me to lunch; I shared with them the fish I caught and a baby camel tried to browse my hair in a cafe.
I still think the nationalists were on the right side of the argument but I miss Algeria nevertheless. It's like a divorce that should not have happened. And I am very sorry about where French incompetence and rigidity led everyone, especially the Algerians who keep migrating to France in huge numbers because they can't find what they need at home.
Memorial Day in the Days of Trump
It disturbs me that in my area of the Central Coast of California, Memorial Day is almost entirely a beach day, a sailing day, a fishing day, and a barbecue day. There is little here to mark the day as one of remembrance for those who died to protect our precious republic (and by the way, to save many innocent civilians, including me). Most of the local people are too sophisticated and too lazy to do anything out of the ordinary on that weekend except pretend it's summer. And then, some of the population is gone because the university lets out on Memorial Weekend and many students go somewhere else. They are replaced to a large extent by visitors from Silicon Valley forty minutes away on a hard mountain road, and from as afar as the agricultural Central Valley, hours away. The ones and the others want to sit on the beach or go on rides on our famous old fashioned Boardwalk, a sort of permanent carnival. The ocean water is still too cold for almost all adults but the kids will wade in a little. (Frankly, I think few adults around – except surfers – here know how to swim in the ocean but that's neither here nor there.)
I know that the locals don't care much about the meaning of Memorial Day because there are only three American flags on my long street, and two belong to my household.
In the vicinity of Santa Cruz, there is one Saturday morning Memorial Day parade. It's held in Felton, a small, funky town not ten minutes from Santa Cruz proper. It's in the mountains (as opposed to near the sea). The real estate there is a little cheaper than in Santa Cruz. It's home to a certain horsey set, not the kind that rides knees to the chest, English style, but those who ride on a Western saddle, with their legs comfortably extended. Its downtown stretches over half of a street with a couple of grocery stores, other small businesses, and one Chinese restaurant (not that good, to tell the truth). But, this is Santa Cruz county so, there is also a mediocre Mexican restaurant that doubles as a fantastic music venue.
In spite of physical proximity, the culture in Felton is strikingly different from the culture of university-anchored, progressive, mock-sophisticated, vegetarian/organic, and often transgender Santa Cruz. For one thing, its population is visibly different. The people at the parade in Felton are mostly light-skinned or Portuguese-washed out olive (but see below), and many of their children have blond hair. Everyone is badly dressed, not poorly dressed just dressed carelessly, even the young women.
The thin crowd does not include many brown skins. I can guess the reasons. The large Hispanic population around here is almost entirely from Mexico. It lives in another part of the county and in Santa Cruz proper. It's not that Felton discriminate, it's that immigrants tend to agglutinate around where the first immigrants from their countries take root. It's almost a random process, in historical terms. Many immigrants and their children appear to be dimly aware of this country's military history. Mexico had no military history for more than eighty years, after all. This does not promote attention to such fine points. Incidentally, Mexican immigrants and their children don't, by and large, understand Cinco de Mayo either although it's an official California holiday made up just for them. Hispanics are welcome in Felton, I believe, but they don't come and their absence makes a difference. The local culture is different where they are numerous.
The parade in Felton inspires something close to pity but also a little melancholy. It starts at 10 am sharp, as announced. It includes no marching band and few flags. The cub-scouts do carry flags. They look bedraggled although they are on parade. The Mom who is a cub-scout leader is wearing jeans, some example! There is a bagpipe band – something I always enjoy – but it includes only three bagpipes. Mostly, the parade consists of people in automobile vehicles. There are several fire trucks of course. This feels good because, in these parts, fire brigades are mostly composed of volunteers, an American institution if there ever was one. The other cars are there for no particular reason I am able to grasp except one car. There is a guy driving his period muscle car in average condition with the words "For sale" painted in several places. That's American commercial ingenuity, I think.
From all cars but that one, and from the firetrucks as well, jets of candy aimed at the little children brought by parents to see the parade are issued. There is so much candy that boys on either side of the street start a candy fight during a lull in the parade. Two middle aged women quietly fill a backpack with candy. One is white, the other black. If this is not proof of harmonious race relations, I don't know what is, really!
The people in the parade and the people at the parade strike me as absent from the current American cultural narrative. You don't find them in books, you don't find them in movies, you don't even find them in TV series anymore. They barely exist in popular music, even in country music. There are pockets of them all over the country, mostly larger pockets than in Felton. No wonder they feel forgotten and are pissed off in often inarticulate ways. No wonder election analysts and the political class is disconcerted by the rise of a Donald Trump. They were mostly invisible until now.
I am sorry conservative rationalists like me missed the boat.
How Fascism Will Come To America
John T. Flynn's As We Go Marching was written in 1944, but there isn't a line in this excerpt that doesn't fit today's situation perfectly. I read the book many years ago and will pull it out and read it again.
Fascism will come at the hands of perfectly authentic Americans who have been working to commit this country to the rule of the bureaucratic state; interfering in the affairs of the states and cities; taking part in the management of industry and finance and agriculture; assuming the role of great national banker and investor, borrowing billions every year and spending them on all sorts of projects through which such a government can paralyze opposition and command public support; marshaling great armies and navies at crushing costs to support the industry of war and preparation for war which will become our nation's greatest industry; and adding to all this the most romantic adventures in global planning, regeneration, and domination, all to be done under the authority of a powerfully centralized government in which the executive will hold in effect all the powers, with Congress reduced to the role of a debating society.

The blatant fascism of Bernie Sanders
Ezra Klein, a Bruin and also a journalist, recently interviewed Bernie Sanders, an American Senator currently challenging Hillary Clinton for the Democrat Party's 2016 presidential nomination. Sanders is an old, extremely rich white man who describes himself as a "democratic socialist." Check this out:
Ezra Klein: You said being a democratic socialist means a more international view. I think if you take global poverty that seriously, it leads you to conclusions that in the US are considered out of political bounds. Things like sharply raising the level of immigration we permit, even up to a level of open borders. About sharply increasing …
Bernie Sanders: Open borders? No, that's a Koch brothers proposal.
Ezra Klein: Really?
Bernie Sanders: Of course. That's a right-wing proposal, which says essentially there is no United States. …
Ezra Klein: But it would make …
Bernie Sanders: Excuse me …
Ezra Klein: It would make a lot of global poor richer, wouldn't it?
Bernie Sanders: It would make everybody in America poorer —you're doing away with the concept of a nation state, and I don't think there's any country in the world that believes in that. If you believe in a nation state or in a country called the United States or UK or Denmark or any other country, you have an obligation in my view to do everything we can to help poor people. What right-wing people in this country would love is an open-border policy. Bring in all kinds of people, work for $2 or $3 an hour, that would be great for them. I don't believe in that. I think we have to raise wages in this country, I think we have to do everything we can to create millions of jobs.
You know what youth unemployment is in the United States of America today? If you're a white high school graduate, it's 33 percent, Hispanic 36 percent, African American 51 percent. You think we should open the borders and bring in a lot of low-wage workers, or do you think maybe we should try to get jobs for those kids?
I think from a moral responsibility we've got to work with the rest of the industrialized world to address the problems of international poverty, but you don't do that by making people in this country even poorer.
There is much, much more stupidity here. The choice between Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders – who is supposedly the representative of a new Left – illustrates well why the American Right is currently the faction of Ideas. This is so stupid that I'm flabbergasted. I am literally flabbergasted.
There is no way this guy represents the future of the American Left. No. Way.

Girl Scouts get an image makeover
When you think of Girls Scouts, there's about a 99% chance that you think of their door-to-door cookie sales. This is the most easily-recognized activity of the Girl Scouts, and the new marketing executive wants to leverage that brand recognition for other marketing initiatives. With over 200 million boxes of cookies sold each year, there are plenty of opportunities for the girls to show the world what the new version of scouting is all about.
In the last few years, the organization has been working on updating the image by focusing on newer topics, such as online behavior, time management, and other more timely issues. They want to move away from the boring old image that they've developed over the years. The Girl Scouts are also focusing on appealing to a wider demographic, expanding the membership base culturally and socially.
There are almost 3 million Girl Scouts, but the numbers have been decreasing by 1% or 2% each year. The organization is working diligently on public relations efforts that promote this updated image, and management is working hard to attract more adults to leadership roles in troops. Updated uniforms are also being introduced to shake things up a little.
You go, Girl Scouts! I see the organization as a wonderful opportunity for young girls to learn many things as well as develop more self-esteem. I hope the membership tide can turn before it's too late, and that an update imaged for the organization will be instrumental in embracing a newer Girl Scouts that is relevant to many different little girls.

Section 179 of the Code applies to those offences which consist of an act and its consequences. The consequence means only such consequence as is a necessary ingredient of the alleged offence. For example, the offence of cheating may be tried either at the place where the cheating was committed (where the accused resided) or at the place where the loss ensued to the complainant, i.e., where the complainant resides or his firm is situated.
Similarly, if a person is wounded within the local jurisdiction of a particular Court and dies within the local jurisdiction of another Court, then the offence of culpable committed against that person may be inquired into and tried by either of any court.

Consequences may be primary or secondary. Section 179 of the Code is concerned with the primary consequences and not any secondary consequences of the offence; the primary consequence should be taken into consideration in determining the jurisdiction.
If the offender is a citizen of a foreign State and offence is committed outside India, the Courts in India have no jurisdiction to inquire into or try the offence.

With the outbreak of the Covid-19 Pandemic, many people were predicting 2020 as the possible year of doomsday. Lives in many countries were already upended because of the pandemic situation and lockdown. And now the already deteriorating situation is becoming even worse with the evasion of locusts swarm in many countries including India and Pakistan. Pakistani Government has already declared these locust swarms attack as a National Emergency.<\/h4>\r\n
Globally, about 30 countries are under the threat of a worse locust attack this year. Locusts can move at a speed of 16 to 19 Km per hour or 150 Km per day. They have a life-span of 3 to 5 months, and per square meter of soil, they can lay as many as 1,000 eggs. These gregarious phased locusts live in solidarity as swarms rather than in isolation, because of which their potential to harm humans becomes more threatening.<\/h4>\r\n
They reproduce expeditiously and multiply to the extent that a single swarm may become 20 times more of its original size. We have been hearing attacks of locust swarms in Pakistan for a few months, and now those locust swarms have entered India through favorable rain-bearing winds (strong westerly winds of Cyclone Amphan). They pose the biggest threat to human civilization as they destroy agricultural food by eating.<\/h4>\r\n
The swarms of Locusts from Pakistan have created havoc in many states of India, including U.P, Rajasthan, Punjab, Chhattisgarh, and Maharashtra. In across 20 districts of Rajasthan, these locusts have affected 90,000 hectares of land. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation has issued a warning that locusts attack on both sides of the India-Pakistan border is likely to amplify further.<\/h4>\r\n
These locusts can inflict the most significant harm to agriculture in India in the coming monsoon season. The swarm attacks are likely to peak in the months of June and July as that period conditions are favorable for locusts to breed and expand their swarms. Also, newly born locusts or immature locusts are more harmful than the mature ones as they consume more food and have an obviously longer life span. An adult locust can eat about 2 grams of agricultural food every day. A 1 km long swarm can have about 40 million locusts that can consume food of 35,000 people in just a single day.<\/h4>\r\n
Their growing population is a matter of great concern. A swarm, the size of Paris, has the potential of consuming food that half the population of France would eat in a day. This is enough to tell how devastating these locusts can be when they reproduce fast and expand. There is a massive threat from locust swarms, which, if not acted upon, can turn into a gigantic agrarian disaster.<\/h4>\r\n
The current and standard method to stop them from destroying crops is to kill them by spraying pest control and plant protection chemicals. But lack of funds and inadequate monitoring is a problem in the implementation of the present standard swarm control method in India as well as in Pakistan, which is frequently pointed out by FAO (Food and Agriculture Organisation).<\/h4>\r\n
Also, controlling the locust epidemic during COVID Pandemic is more challenging than the normal times as the availability of pesticide and transportation facilities has got disrupted. The availability of labor is also less due to the current situation, which also has been affecting spraying operations. This sudden locust swarm attack, though, is not a new happening, there have been locust attacks previously also.<\/h4>\r\n
There have been about 13 locust epidemics from 1964 to 1997. As per trends, a locust swarm lasts for one to two years, and then it vanishes for the next 7 to 8 years. But with the already existing threat from COVID Pandemic on the economy, the loss during these 1 to 2 years because of the locust epidemic could be unprecedented and massively destructive.<\/h4>\r\n
Many financial institutions and firms, including Goldman Sachs, have forecasted that India's GDP is likely to slump and have warned that a possible recession is waiting ahead because of the current Pandemic and the subsequent world's most stringent lockdown that was imposed by the Government to control its spread.\r\nBecause of the current pandemic situation, many businesses have severely suffered, rendering people unemployed and low paid. Also, prices of many commodities and services have surged due to higher business operation costs, including low availability of labor and disruptive supply chain and transportation system.<\/h4>\r\n
Under these circumstances of higher unemployment, low-income levels, and high inflation, if locust swarms destroy India's agrarian sector on a massive scale, then the famine-like situation may develop, and many people could die of a food emergency, mass starvation, and no income support.<\/h4>\r\n
So, controlling these locust swarms from destroying India's agriculture should be acted upon as soon as possible. For this, the Government should initiate spraying of organophosphate chemicals on these massive locust swarms through drones on all the areas they have created havoc to control their population from growing deadly. If locust swarms spread is not controlled amid the current Pandemic Situation at earliest, there can be severe repercussions of it on people and the economy in the coming months or years.<\/h4>
