FASCINATING: An Effective Treatment for Coronavirus. “Recent guidelines from South Korea and China report that chloroquine is an effective antiviral therapeutic treatment against Coronavirus Disease 2019. Use of chloroquine (tablets) is showing favorable outcomes in humans infected with Coronavirus including faster time to recovery and shorter hospital stay. US CDC research shows that chloroquine also has strong potential as a prophylactic (preventative) measure against coronavirus in the lab, while we wait for a vaccine to be developed. Chloroquine is an inexpensive, globally available drug that has been in widespread human use since 1945 against malaria, autoimmune and various other conditions.”

OLD AND BUSTED: TRUMP IS THE SECOND COMING OF HITLER.

The New Hotness? Suddenly, the left is complaining that Trump isn’t dictatorial enough.

THAT’S DIFFERENT BECAUSE SHUT UP: Obama Played Golf the Same Day His Administration Declared H1N1 a Public Health Emergency.

YOU HAD ONE JOB: The CDC was Fighting Racism and Obesity Instead of Stopping Epidemics.

Flashback: You had one job, CDC.

AND THAT MIGHT BE BEST FOR EVERYONE:  All those Democrat ‘priorities’ might just keep the coronavirus bill from passing.

WE ARE BEING STAMPEDED:  Remember the H1N1 Pandemic? I Don’t Either.

GUYS, IF THE CRAZY DICTATORIAL STUFF CONTINUES WITH NUMBERS PFA, THE MOST OPTIMISTIC ROUTE IS THAT WE SHOOT OUR WAY OUT OF THIS IN A MONTH. THE LESS OPTIMISTIC ROUTE IS THAT THE PEOPLE ALREADY CALLING FOR NATIONALIZATIONS AND PUTTING THE CITIZENRY UNDER HOUSE ARREST GET TO FILL MASS GRAVES. SOCIALISM AND TOTALITARIANISM IS FAR MORE DANGEROUS THAN ANY VIRUS. AND IT’S RUNNING WILD:  CDC Recommends Cancelling All Events With >50 People .

ISN’T INTERESTING HOW IN “ENLIGHTENED” EUROPE, UNDER PRESSURE NATIONALISM COMES OUT TO PLAY?  BAH. ALL THE POSTURING AND VIRTUE SIGNALING AND IT’S ALWAYS THIS IN THE END:  Germany to Close Borders Amid Coronavirus Outbreak.

And make no mistake, in Europe it’s always Land, People and Blood. It always was, it always is, and it might be the only way they stop spinning down the drain.

BUT BUT BUT, I THOUGHT THAT WAS EVILBAD WHEN ORANGEMANBAD WANTED TO ENFORCE BORDERS:  Trudeau Closes Canada’s Border to Non-Citizens or Permanent Residents Over Coronavirus.

YEAH, BECAUSE CHINA IS A SHINING EXAMPLE OF HOW TO HANDLE AND EMERGENCY:  Amanda Marcotte And Her Maoist Sermonizing.

(Can someone find my eyes? I think they rolled out and under the sofa.)

DOES HE REALIZE THAT MOST WOMEN, LIKE CATS, AT BEST TOLERATE EACH OTHER? NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY POSTURE IN PUBLIC…  Biden Panders Shamelessly For The Female Vote.

CORONAVIRUS: A slowing rate of increase?

IT’S AS IF YOU CAN’T COUNT ON A BUNCH OF UNPRINCIPLED HACKS OR SOMETHING: The EU Is Abandoning Italy in Its Hour of Need: In a shameful abdication of responsibility, fellow countries in the European Union have failed to give medical assistance and supplies to Italy during an outbreak.

SILVER LININGS: Top Iranian general Shabani dies of Covid-19.

NOW WHAT? Judge Denies Ohio Gov’s Request to Delay Primary, But Poll Workers Say They Won’t Be Ready.

UPDATE: “Minutes ago Gov. Mike DeWine defied a judge’s earlier ruling that the primary must go on tomorrow. He announced on Twitter that his director of Public Health, Amy Acton, will order the polls closed tomorrow due to a ‘health emergency.'”

(Updated and bumped.)

HE’S RIGHT.

AT AMAZON, deals in Mysteries, Thriller, & Suspense.

THIS IS A BIG DEAL, BECAUSE IN MANY POOR AND RURAL COMMUNITIES, MCDONALD’S IS THE COMMUNITY CENTER: McDonald’s to shut seating, play areas amid COVID-19 pandemic. “To align with increasing regulations throughout the country, effective at the close of business today, McDonald’s USA company-owned restaurants will close seating areas, including the use of self-service beverage bars and kiosks, and shift our focus to serving customers through Drive-Thru, walk-in take-out and McDelivery.”

OPEN THREAD: Start the week off right.

I’M EXPECTING AN EARTH-SHATTERING KABOOM: Here’s what the supergiant star Betelgeuse will look like when it goes supernova.

CHANGE: Universal to make current theatrical movies available for home viewing on release day.

WHY CAN’T LIBERALS DO ARITHMETIC?:  And why don’t they know how many people live in the United States?  Power Line points out that Bernie Sander’s press secretary asserted on Twitter that 500 million Americans “go bankrupt from medical debt every year.”  Good grief.  That is far more bankruptcies than there are Americans.  Power Line points out that only about 750,000 personal bankruptcies occur annually from any cause.  I can add that the proportion of those that were caused in any real sense by medical debt is quite small (though it is common for bankrupt person to have some medical debt in their overall debt along with lots of other kinds of debt).  It’s tragic when medical debt leads to bankruptcy, though it’s worth pointing out that’s why we have bankruptcy–to spare people in that kind of situation from permanent destitution and debtors’ prison.  It isn’t a punishment for debtors; it protects them.  It’s woefully ignorant to believe it’s happening 500 million times a year.
