Time to Move to Australia

As of June 27th 2020, the US has 2.56 million confirmed cases of COVID19 with 127,000 deaths. In comparison, Australia has 7,593 confirmed cases and 104 deaths. Back in late March Australia had a spike in reported cases. But since then, whatever measures they put in place seems to be working. One thing going in Australia's favor is that they have a much smaller population. 25 million compared to the US, which has 328 million. I'm sure Australia has problems, just like every other country these days, but with the low number of virus cases and all of the crazy racial stuff going on in the US, maybe it's time to consider moving to a safer country.

In the past few weeks, several companies have decided to rename products because they are now considered to be "racially insensitive". The list includes Eskimo Pie, Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben's, Cream of Wheat, and anything that includes the words "white", or "master", or which has in any way ever been associated with slavery. They are renaming buildings, schools, parks, lakes, streets, and taking down monuments. I can't imagine what will be next? Are white people who wear a black mask to protect themselves from getting sick going to be considered "racially insensitive"? I'm afraid to leave the house because someone might get offended. I would probably get lost anyway, because everything has been renamed. In States where businesses have started to open, there has been a noticeable spike in the number of COVID cases. Just another reason not to leave the house. No worries, mate!
