SHOCKED, SHOCKED, SHOCKED, SO SHOCKED. MUCH SURPRISE. WOW, WOW, WOW:   France Issues Rallying Calls to ‘Buy French’ as Coronavirus Erodes EU Single Market.

TO BE FAIR IF COLORADO HAD IMPLEMENTED A STAY IN CALIFORNIA PROGRAM SOMEWHERE IN THE EARLY OUGHTS, WE WOULDN’T BE IN THIS FIX. SO ANY EXCUSE WILL DO: Rhode Island does not welcome you.

OH, REEEELY?  De Blasio says not “time to look backwards” at his Wuhan coronavirus failures.

ALL OF WHICH MAKES OUR CONTINUED DETERMINATION TO PROLONG THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR ECONOMY PUZZLING. EPSTEIN MIGHT NOT HAVE KILLED HIMSELF, BUT WE SURE ARE KILLING OURSELVES:  President Trump Extends Social Distancing Guidelines Through April 30th.

Yes, I know that the Dems want to destroy the economy, but must the president cooperate? Can’t he at least blink SOS in Morse code?

AND ONE MORE FOR THE ROAD:   How Fast is Corona Spreading and How Many Undetected Cases Are There?

SOME PEOPLE GET UPSET WHILE UNDER QUARANTINE HOUSE ARREST AND GET INTO CREATING INVOLVED PIE CHARTS!   Useful MAPS and Data about COVID-19 Risks.

Me? Well, I accomplished something today too.  I put on makeup to go to Walmart. Head>desk.

THIS IS MY SHOCKED FACE:  NYC is the U.S. Epicenter of the Coronavirus. What a Coincidence!

FREE FOR YOUR WEEKEND READING:
FROM ROBERT BIDINOTTO:  HUNTER: A Dylan Hunter Justice Thriller (Dylan Hunter Thrillers Book 1.)

 

If you enjoy the thrillers of Lee Child, Stephen Hunter, Brad Thor, and Vince Flynn, you’ll love HUNTER.

“From the first sentence, you’ll be riveted by the explosive journey of HUNTER into Washington, DC’s, court rooms, back rooms, and bedrooms. Dylan Hunter, the fascinating eponymous hero, lays bare the dark underbelly of society, wrestles with good versus evil, and pushes the limits of the law. You’ll meet cops and criminals, spies and the untouchably wealthy. With the cold eye of a reporter and the heart of an artist, author Robert Bidinotto has crafted a masterwork of thrills and suspense.”   –Gayle Lynds, New York Times bestselling author of The Assassins

YET IT IS SURPRISINGLY HELPFUL FOR TOLERATING CONDESCENDING LECTURES FROM THE WHO:  WHO thinks alcohol is an ‘unhelpful coping strategy’ for coronavirus cabin fever.

You know what’s great for cabin fever? Not putting free citizens under house arrest without a trial. THAT is a great remedy. Let’s try it, shall we?

IF YOU DOUBT HIM IT CAN ONLY BE BECAUSE YOU’RE RACIST:   Mexican governor sparks outrage after claiming poor are ‘immune’ to coronavirus.

THEY WANT A STAMPEDE:  Distortion and fear: the MSM won’t quit doing this, because they think (know?) it works.

—The US is nowhere near having the highest number of cases per capita. Comparing absolute numbers in different countries without correcting for population means nothing, and one doesn’t need advanced math to realize that. Look at the cases per million numbers here, and you’ll see that the US has one of the world’s lowest rates (at the moment, anyway), not the highest at all. That will change and go up, of course, as testing continues. But it’s the more important statistic than sheer number of cases, although neither tells us very much right now.
—Then there’s deaths per million. It’s a figure that means more, because it’s less dependent on the vagaries of mass testing (although it still does rely on proper testing of the very ill and dying, of course). On that measure, the current figure for the US is extremely low, similar to Germany which is considered to be doing very well. But this is not a number in which the media is especially interested because it’s nowhere near as effective for its uses.

WELL, IT’S MORE THOROUGH THAN MY “THE GOVERNORS ARE GETTING THEIR HUGO BOSS UNIFORMS ON”:  Coronavirus panic makes no sense so I’ve got a few theories.

One minor quibble: no the guy who did the model isn’t right when he says our behavior changed the curve. Because when he said that England had been in lockdown for two days, so that wouldn’t change anything. No. He’s revising his estimates (and back and forth again) because he knows the anti-virus test is going to leave egg on his face.

WE HAVE ALREADY FIGURED THAT ONE OUT:  COVID-19 is NOT going to overwhelm our healthcare system.

CURIOSER AND CURIOSER, SAID ALICE:  Covid 19 and US Mortality.

OH, DEAR. ANOTHER FAILED GAMBIT. AND THIS ONE ALMOST DESTROYED US. I’M AFRAID OF WHAT THE LEFT WILL DO NEXT:  ABC News/WaPo Poll: Trump approval at highest ever, majority approve of handling of pandemic

ROFL. MEXICO BELIEVES OUR PRESS. LIKE WE HAVE ANYTHING HERE THEY DON’T HAVE WORSE THERE:  Mexico Tells Americans Not To Cross Border.

DOESN’T MATTER. GOVERNORS LIKE MY IDIOT WOULD RATHER CONTINUE STOMPING ON OUR FACES AND HOPING IT HURTS ORANGEMANBAD:  Trump Admin Developing New Guidelines For States On Coronavirus Mitigation Measures.

WELL NOW WE KNOW WHOM OUR MEDIA WORKS FOR. I STILL SAY WE SEND THEM TO THEIR BOSSES:  China Claims Get Repeated Ad Nauseum In Media.

DESPICABLE GOVERNORS PLAYING STUPID GAMES ARE A DOG BITES MAN THING THESE DAYS:  A stupid little political stunt to Get Trump goes awry in Nevada.

EMBRACE THE HEALING POWER OF “BOTH,” THEY’RE BOTH MAD AND TRYING TO DESTROY US:  COVID-19 Probably Won’t Destroy Society, but the Government’s Reaction Might.

BECAUSE ECONOMICS ARE LIFE AND DEATH:  “How Can you Talk Economics When People are Dying”.

THE US IS NOT A SPHERICAL COW OF UNIFORM DENSITY:  New York City’s boroughs and COVID-19.
