I COULD, POSSIBLY, REMOTELY, JUST ON AN OFF CHANCE, YOU KNOW, BE RUNNING OUT OF PATIENCE WITH THE OVERBLOWN REACTION TO WINNIE THE FLU:  Attention, Citizens.

YEAH, BECAUSE IT’S ALL A MATTER OF CLASSIFICATION.  BAH. DO THEY THINK WE’RE IDIOTS? CHINA, TAKE NOTICE, THE PEOPLE ARE NOT OUR SO CALLED LEADERS*:  China to reclassify dogs as pets in wake of coronavirus.

*For one, if we all drank like Nancy Grey Goose Pelosi, there wouldn’t be enough alcohol in the world for an American lunch break.

FOR INSTANCE, THERE’S THIS:  Doctors just uncovered another unusual coronavirus symptom.

WE WON’T KNOW THE ANSWERS FOR YEARS. SLOWER IF WE RUIN OURSELVES NOW:  COVID-19 Mysteries.

THIS IS MY SHOCKED FACE. LOOK HOW SHOCKED IT IS:  Democrats & Media Up to Their Old Tricks.

DUH:  Trump Not Warned About Covid-19 In November.

THIS IS WHY PLANED ECONOMIES FAIL. NO ONE NOT INTIMATELY INVOLVED WITH ANY GIVEN FIELD KNOWS EVERYTHING THAT GOES INTO IT. AND IN THE CASE OF OUR SELF PROCLAIMED ELITES, FRANKLY, THESE PEOPLE LITERALLY DON’T KNOW WHERE FOOD COMES FROM:  Our Food Supply Cannot Afford This Economic Shutdown.

STOP LOOKING AND JUST GET THESE UNCONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATIONS OF OUR RIGHTS GONE:  AG Barr Looks for Lifting of Draconian Measures.

I DON’T THINK SO. AFTER ALL, PRISONS ARE PRACTICALLY DESIGNED TO BE ABLE TO ISOLATE PEOPLE:  Prisons Are A COVID-19 “Death Trap”, According To Teen Vogue.

Also, Teen Vogue? Go write about clothes and sexy pop singers. Leave politics to the grown ups.

SURE, THE CDC MESSED UP, BUT CHINESE LIES DIDN’T HELP. HOWEVER WHAT HAS REALLY TAKEN A HAMMER TO OUR ECONOMY AND IS GOING TO MAKE US DANCE WITH FOOD SCARCITY COME FALL IS THE FACT THAT WE HAVE AN “EDUCATED” CLASS WHICH HAS NEVER LEARNED COMPUTER MODELS AREN’T REALITY, COMPUTER MODELS AREN’T PROOF, COMPUTER MODELS ARE JUST HYPOTHESES WITH NICE GRAPHICS:  How US bureaucrats deepened the coronavirus crisis to deadly effect.

I think part of this is a hold over in people about 10 years older than I who thought of computers as “smart.” These are people who can barely navigate email or social media, and for whom computers are somehow, mysteriously, infallible.  If someone can’t get Garbage In Garbage Out across to them, then we’ll just have to hit them with metaphorical two by fours when they go off half-cocked on some models. Because otherwise they will destroy us.

MORE LIKE A LIBERAL (LYING) APPROACH TO REALITY:  Horowitz: Dr. Birx: ‘We’ve taken a very liberal approach to mortality’.

LADIES, GENTLEMEN, SMALL FURRY ANIMALS AND LARGE UNGULATES I’VE HAD MORE THAN ENOUGH OF THIS UNCONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATION OF OUR CIVIL RIGHTS:

WE NEED THE DOOR OPENED TOMORROW:  COVID19 update, Eve of Passover edition: eyeing the long road to normality.

ON A SCALE OF ZERO FALSEHOOD TO BARRACK OBAMA? IT’S PAST OBAMA TO ELIZABETH WARREN. THERE IS NO TRUTH IN THE COUNT:  How Honest is the COVID Fatality Count?

SOME OF US ARE. WHY DO YOU THINK GUN AND AMMO SALES HAVE GONE THROUGH THE ROOF?  Are We Still Americans?

SPEAKING OF INSANE, THEY WON’T LIKE US WHEN WE’RE MAD:  When Insanity Bites.

TRUMP DROVE THEM INSANE. NOW THEY’RE INSANE:  Corona Meltdowns.

GOOD. NOW DO THE UN:  Trump Done With WHO.

DUH:  Skewed Numbers Regarding Covid-19 Deaths Don’t Help.

BUT BUT BUT… WE WANTED TO CRASH THE ECONOMY, DESTROY AMERICA AND BLAME IT ON HIM! AND HE WON’T LET US, THE BULLY:  Briefings Are Trump’s “Bully Pulpit”, According to The Left.

EXCEPT THAT THERE REALLY DOESN’T SEEM TO BE A VENTILATOR SHORTAGE:  Engineers convert breast pumps into ventilators amid coronavirus-related shortage.

IF I WEREN’T DEATHLY ALLERGIC TO FEATHERS…  Coronavirus concerns: People are panic-buying baby chickens, reports claim.

However, as I’ve said a number of times you don’t have to be a weather man to see which way the wind is blowing.

GEE, THEY SEEMED SUCH A RICH, WELL MANAGED COUNTRY ONLY A FEW DECADES AGO – I WONDER WHAT HAPPENED:  Venezuelan doctors languish in fuel lines amid coronavirus pandemic.

MY OWN MIND HAS BEEN WORKING ON SIMILAR LINES:  After the Hysteria Dies, What Rough Beast Slouches Towards Bethlehem To Be Born? The Answer Might Surprise You.

(BTW I love the way Richard’s paintings capture, in a highly evocative way that can’t be expressed in words “our national moment.  I’ve seen it time and again, and find it fascinating as someone who ALSO gets bossed round by a subconscious that doesn’t always share everything it knows.)
