COMMENT POSTED TO AN EDITORIAL IN THE INDEPENDENT
"The real coronavirus super-spreader is the global economy"
A very poor notion to be featuring in a headline, I think.First, it might at least as accurately be said of the human need to breathe.
Second, with the international economy under serious stress and with Trump’s Appalachian Throwbacks actively attacking it, the last thing we need is that kind of headline.

There's more than a hint of International Trade Luddite there.
