THE SAME PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THE UN. THE SAME PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THAT ALL CULTURES ARE THE SAME AND ALL COUNTRIES ARE INTERESTED ONLY IN THE WELFARE OF THE WORLD. IDIOTS. MORONS. PEOPLE WHO WERE BORN WITHOUT A BRAIN AND HAVE NEVER ACQUIRED ONE. MOST OF OUR MASS MEDIA AND 90% OF OUR LEFTISTS: Who Believes WHO?

IT’S JUST THE FLU: Grim New Rules for NYC Paramedics: Don’t Bring Cardiac Arrests to ER for Revival. Though this isn’t as extreme as the headline sounds: “If, after 20 minutes of CPR, the defibrillator or the heart monitor shows a ‘no shock indicated’ or a non-shockable rhythm and there is no blood circulation, CPR is to be terminated. At that point, the NYPD or medical examiner can be called to remove the body; the patient is not to be brought to the hospital.”
THIS IS INTERESTING: What Everyone’s Getting Wrong About the Toilet Paper Shortage: It isn’t really about hoarding. And there isn’t an easy fix.
Bottom line: There are separate consumer and office TP supply chains, and now that everyone’s working, and pooping, at home, the consumer chain is overstressed and the office one is, uh, backed up. “In short, the toilet paper industry is split into two, largely separate markets: commercial and consumer. The pandemic has shifted the lion’s share of demand to the latter. People actually do need to buy significantly more toilet paper during the pandemic — not because they’re making more trips to the bathroom, but because they’re making more of them at home. With some 75% of the U.S. population under stay-at-home orders, Americans are no longer using the restrooms at their workplace, in schools, at restaurants, at hotels, or in airports. Georgia-Pacific, a leading toilet paper manufacturer based in Atlanta, estimates that the average household will use 40% more toilet paper than usual if all of its members are staying home around the clock. That’s a huge leap in demand for a product whose supply chain is predicated on the assumption that demand is essentially constant. It’s one that won’t fully subside even when people stop hoarding or panic-buying.”
Plus: “While toilet paper is an extreme case, similar dynamics are likely to temporarily disrupt supplies of other goods, too — even if no one’s hoarding or panic-buying.”
IT’S WORSE IN ECUADOR THAN YOU’VE PROBABLY HEARD: “Corpses are strewn in the streets of Ecuador or spend days waiting to be picked up from private homes as the number of coronavirus deaths surges. There is no more wood for coffins, leading one cardboard manufacturer to begin producing cardboard caskets.”

OPEN THREAD: What’s up?
NOTHING BUT BLUE SKIES: Shutdowns from coronavirus create blue skies in California, could inform future pollution control.
On the other hand, I remember my grandfather pointing at smoky smokestacks on a steel mill in Birmingham and saying that smoke means jobs. And these blue skies mean unemployment, in the most direct way.
PUNCH BACK TWICE AS HARD: ‘Less time on your ridiculous impeachment hoax’: Trump rebukes Schumer over coronavirus response. “If you spent less time on your ridiculous impeachment hoax, which went haplessly on forever and ended up going nowhere (Except increasing my poll numbers), and instead focused on helping the people of New York, then New York would not have been so completely unprepared for the ‘invisible enemy.’ No wonder AOC and others are thinking about running against you in the primary. If they did, they would liKely win.”
DEATHS: Israeli coronavirus fatalities are mostly elderly men, average age 79.8. “64% of dead are male, only 6% under 60, in line with global averages; 50,000 now deceased worldwide, with nearly a million infections.”
This doesn’t mean people aren’t dying; it’s just about which people. Admittedly, all things equal, a virus that kills mostly old people is less of a civilizational stressor than one that kills mostly young people.

JIM TREACHER: Chinese City Bans Consumption of Cats and Dogs, Which Is Not at All Funny. “I’m not sure why they’re banning something that never happens in China anyway. The only rational explanation is that Chinese government officials are racist against Chinese people. After all, that’s the reason I’m not supposed to say anything about the virus, or China, or any person in the entire world who is of Chinese descent. The institutionalized racism that’s endemic to the United States has obviously infected our friends to the East.”
Heh, indeed. But what I am saying?
JAMES BOVARD: It’s Time To Track The FDA’s Death Toll. “The Food and Drug Administration helped turn the coronavirus from a deadly peril into a national catastrophe. . . . Many Americans could die in the coming weeks and months thanks to the FDA’s blockade on coronavirus testing. Should we consider those victims as martyrs for the principle of bureaucratic supremacy? The FDA’s current commissioner, Stephen Hahn, conceded last week: ‘There are always opportunities to learn from situations like this one.’ Perhaps the clearest lesson is that it is time to track the death toll of FDA regulatory debacles.”
