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

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.

I DON’T KNOW IT, BUT I’M STARTING TO GET A SENSE OF IT: The Shape Of The Future.

SOMEDAY I’LL WRITE ABOUT VISITING MY DOCTOR FOR A BIOPSY (IT’S FINE) YESTERDAY. (SOMEDAY. WHEN IT’S FUNNY.) I GOT THREE DIFFERENT MESSAGES ON HOW TO APPROACH/ENTER THE OFFICE. NONE WORKED. THE OFFICE PERSONNEL DIDN’T EVEN KNOW THE MESSAGES HAD BEEN SENT. OUR MEDICAL PROVIDERS ARE OVERWHELMED. NOT BY COVID. BY INCREASED GOVERNMENTAL INTRUSION INT HEIR WORK:   Today COVID-19 made my doctor and I criminals.
