News just in!!!

The world according to Sir Donny.

I went to see Sir Donny today.

Disclaimer: Sir Donny is a duck, a mallard actually. He lives quite happily on a lake not far from me. While I lie on the bank in a drunken stupor he comes and whispers in my ear.

None of this is true but I somehow wish it was.

Has the world gone mad?

Sir Donny asked me if I read the reports written by the Independent and The Guardian news outlets?

I said no.

He went on to explain that they had discovered information that should probably scare the pants off us, if only he knew what they were. (his words).

He told me that there is a company in Germany that specialises in creating vaccines, not just vaccines other things too, but all to combat virus and disease.

He said that this particular company had an American CEO; Chief Executive Officer. The person that makes the decisions. And he asked me to remember that.

Then pecked me in the ear, apparently I had snored. I promised I had just been clearing my throat.

What he told me next woke me up!!!

According to the reports; the German company are working on a vaccine for corona virus, novel corona virus or covid 19, depending on what you read or listen to. He thinks the company are probably one of the best in the world; or that perhaps it could just be a coincidence. Then had one of his angry quacking/laughing fits.

After he had recovered he said the reports in both papers had stated that:

Donald Trump (and probably his administration, he said they always have to have a scapegoat) had offered 1 billion dollars for the cure, the vaccine. But, under the condition that, it was only for America. I re-iterate a duck told me this.

Sir Donny asked me if I still had pants on?

If this is true it is also very grave, he said. Then asked me to consider certain things. Why the face masks and the hand gel? And why does America want to control the vaccine?

Explaining about viruses he said they mutate but you can only ever get the same one once, your body finds the anti-body for it and locks it in. You can never get it again. It's always a different cold or flu virus. He also said to remember that.

Sir Donny said the reports suggested that a meeting had taken place between Donald Trump, Mike Pence and the then CEO of the German company, in the White House.

I was asked to think back a few weeks about statements being made by the POTUS himself (he had to quack/laugh, then he came back). It was statements about there being nothing to worry about and being sure a cure would be found soon.

Did I think it was a $1 Billion cure, he asked me?

He then asked me what sort of man I thought the orange comb over boy was? I shrugged and said I didn't understand what he meant. The POULTICE he said. I corrected him.

I asked him what the point of all of this was and he had an irate quacking fit. Like one I have never seen before. And then he told me this:

Remember the American CEO? He got the sack. I said you are not allowed to say that anymore. He fell on his back waving his legs in the air and quacking loudly, a sight to behold.

Once he had recovered and I had wiped his eyes he said: the German company in question had been taken over by the original founder; the person who had created the company and made it what it is today. He was now in charge.

They had released a statement Sir Donny said: Whatever we find is for the whole world.

He got quite grave then, again, and asked: Why would one human want to do this to another? Buy out the market and then control it when lives are at stake?

I said it's happened before. He asked me when? I said whoever is perceived as the most powerful is always the one in charge. He asked me is the public eye the perception? I had no answer.

Sir Donny suggested that perhaps something has been released that is now out of control. I reminded him that he is just a duck prone to laughing fits (or just quacking). But something has made the world stop, he said, and I am still a duck.

Then I had to pick him up and ask him if he needed Oxygen. Then he pecked me in the eye and told me to (I won't repeat what he said)


It still just is what it is. We have the choice too.
