UM… CAN WE START A STAY IN CHINA PROGRAM FOR COMMUNISTS DEMOCRATS REPORTERS INSANE SHILLS FOR TOTALITARIANISM?  Good, he can stay there.

And if they’re not in China, we’ll be more than happy to send them there. I’m sure we’ll get lots of contributors to that Go Fund Me. We’ll even send them a nice farewell fruit basket with a pineapple on top, right?

AS I KEEP SAYING — AND ASIDE FROM THE FACT THAT THEY’RE A MUCH OLDER POPULATION ON AVERAGE — PLEASE REMEMBER THAT ITALY IS NOT THE US:  Critical care beds: this may be part of what’s wrong in Italy.

Yes, I know. I KNOW. All sorts of people have assured you that Italy’s health care is better than ours. What they’re not telling you is that part of their parameter for “better” is a robust component of government financed and run health care.

And by the way if one more communist democrat tells me that this Xi-Flu means we need single-payer healthcare, I’m going to lose whatever little cool I have left.  The only thing government-run health does better than the free market is kill people. In fact, that’s the one thing government does better than the free market always. The more power you give government the more chances of mass graves. They might be filled with grandma’s triaged out of existence, or with political opponents, or with yes, but the more powerful the government the greater chance they exist.

WITH AN INTERESTING VIEW OF WHAT MY HUSBAND CALLS THE “MEDIA SHOPPOCALYPSE VIRUS”:  Trump’s private-public alliance is what’s needed in pandemic fight.

And if like us you’re a rare-stocker-upper (look, I don’t like shopping. I tend to rush in, grab something approximately what I want and rush back out. If it’s the wrong size/color/composition, I then try to make it work, somehow) and have run down on something, look to the bottom wrung discount stores.  I understand that they’re now stripped, but we found tp and bleach wipes at Big Lots when everywhere else was cleaned out. They were even having a sale.  It’s almost like all this panic is a luxury. Shrug.

ON THAT “WE SHOULD GET EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD, TESTED”:  The Dreaded Red Squamish.

SOMEONE ON FACEBOOK TOLD ME THAT “WUHAN FLU” IS RACIST. SHE DIDN’T HAVE ANSWERS ON WHETHER WE SHOULD APOLOGIZE TO THE SPANISH ABOUT THAT UNPLEASANT AFFAIR IN 1918 AND ALSO COULDN’T EXPLAIN WHY THAT PHRASE ONLY BECAME RACIST WHEN THE LEFT DECIDED IT WAS.

BUT THAT’S FINE. IF WUHAN FLU IS RACIST, WE WILL NOW CALL IT THIS:

NOT JUST FOR ITALY. SOCIALISM KILLS — BOTH VARIETIES, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL — FAST OR SLOW, SOFT OR HARD, BUT IT ALWAYS KILLS:  For Italy, multilateral globalism, plus socialism, equals death.

Makes me think of what Heinlein said, from memory: “Stupidity is the only capital crime. The punishment is always death. There is no appeal.”
