Are we headed for a new little ice age? There is no scientific reason to think it won’t happen.
Cheap energy and free markets fuel wealth creation. Fossil fuels are the cheapest form of energy currently, for both electricity and transportation.

The Social-Distancing Experiment
…has failed.
This reminds me of the old Soviet joke about the kid in a classroom, asking if Marx was the greatest scientist in history. After being assured by the teacher that that was the case, he asked “Well, why didn’t he try this crap on rats first?”

Policy and punditry must adapt to new data.
Don’t Force It
…get a bigger hammer.
The New Vaccines
…are being developed using genetic engineering. That will hopefully speed things up.
[Update early afternoon]
More from Nature.
Human Fatherhood
New thoughts on its evolutionary origins.
This reminds me somewhat of Axelrod’s evolution of cooperation.
Sunlight And High Humidity
I wonder if this means that we could sterilize with UV lamps?
A New Fundamental Theory Of Physics
Has Wolfram found one?
Haven’t read this yet, but I’m looking forward to it.
Nitric Oxide
It would be great if it’s effective against the virus. As a bonus (if you’re a guy), it would help with ED, too. Which is also, presumably, a bonus for your partner.
Fred Singer
RIP.
A great scientist, despite all the dragging by the climate hysterisists and warm mongers. Shame to lose him and Freeman so close together.
The Latest Attempts At A Cure
They don’t target the virus; they target the hosts.
Let’s hope it works.

And now we have a new vaccine that seems to build antibodies in mice.
As always, faster, please.

Cutting through the fog about the potential cures.
I think that 95% of the media resistance to the idea that hydroxychloraquine would be effective is because Trump said it could be.
[Update a few more minutes later]
More vaccines on the way. Fortunately, as the article points out, this bug is relatively easy to target, more so than the flu. It’s just too bad that we didn’t have a head start on it.
