DON SURBER: The lightness of being Peggy Noonan.
DON SURBER: The Fourth Anniversary of National Review’s Suicide. Their position was silly then, and seems vastly more so now.
IT’S THE SEINFELD IMPEACHMENT — A SHOW ABOUT NOTHING. EXCEPT THAT PEOPLE WATCHED SEINFELD. Even DC is ignoring impeachment: 63% have watched ‘none’ of trial.

DON’T GET COCKY, KID: Steven Hayward: The State of Things for Dems: Gloomy & Getting Gloomier.
J. CHRISTIAN ADAMS: Trump at the March for Life Seals Irrelevancy of Never Trumpers. Even Reagan never did that. Many male Republicans are skittish because their — usually more liberal — wives would skewer them if they came out as fully pro-life as Trump did, and many female Republicans are skittish because they fear being ostracized by the sisterhood, even within the GOP. Trump isn’t skittish because he’s Trump.
WELL, WE HAVE A SPACE FORCE WITH A COOL LOGO NOW, SO IT’S ABOUT TIME: We Might Actually Be Able To Make Star Trek’s Photon Torpedoes.

OPEN THREAD: Party like a Bay City Roller.
IN IMPEACHMENT TRIAL COVERAGE, LIBERAL MEDIA HEAP PRAISE ON SCHIFF AND DEMOCRATS PROSECUTING TRUMP. Exit quote: “Self-described ‘conservative’ Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin was hanging on Schiff’s every word. ‘Thank God I was alive to hear Adam Schiff speak these past few days,’ she tweeted.”

RELAX, PROBABLY JUST A COINCIDENCE. Doctor at hospital in Wuhan dies after treating patients with coronavirus. “A doctor working at a hospital in Wuhan, China — treating patients stricken with the coronavirus — died Saturday morning. Liang Wudong, 62, died after he was infected with Wuhan coronavirus.”
We can’t know how bad it is in China. We can only know that the PRC government will lie about how bad it is, and the worse it is, the more they will lie.
UPDATE: Weird, I searched N95 respirators on Amazon and an awful lot of them appear to be backordered.
On the other hand, there’s this: Don’t buy the media hype over the new China virus.
ANOTHER UPDATE: On the other hand, in the comments people are invoking John Ringo. I don’t want to live in a John Ringo novel.
MORE: For what it’s worth, here’s a Quora thread on what it’s like inside the quarantine zone in Wuhan City, with posts from people there, and from people in contact with friends and relatives there. No idea how representative or reliable they are, of course.
And this seems like good news: Israeli in coronavirus epicenter Wuhan: It’s impossible to get out. Though in China that probably just means you haven’t bribed the right people.
STILL MORE: John Ringo appears in the comments because of course! “I don’t want to live in a John Ringo novel, either.” At least it’s not one of the Posleen books.
MORE STILL: Some informed speculation here.
AND NOW: Hong Kong Disneyland and Ocean Park close over China coronavirus fears.
