…that may perform better than natural ones. That would be a life saver in many cases.

The Lockdown
May have saved no lives, and cost many.
It’s appearing more and more to me that that was the case. It was perhaps the biggest blunder in human history.
Herd Immunity
This is good news, if true. It could explain why it hasn’t been worse, and probably won’t get worse.
The Protests
…expose lock downs and social distancing as a farce.
Perhaps the greatest mistake in human history.
Climate Versus Covid Models
Cloudy with a chance of politics.
More than a chance.
The “Public-Health Emergency”
At this point, it’s impossible to take lock-down orders seriously.
Lileks
…is depressed and angry. So is Greg Gutfeld; he said so on The Five yesterday. I feel fortunate to live in a neighborhood that, despite being in the center of the LA metroplex, is unlikely to attract looters.

Pandemics and pandemonium: a history of pandemics and rioting, and a description of “riot ideology.” I just saw on Twitter that Barr is threatening to release communications between Antifa and prominent public officials to coordinate the mayhem. I’m guessing that none of those public officials are Republicans.

“Resistance” has become insurrection.
[Afternoon update]
How to destroy civilization. And American Kristallnacht.
I read Shirer’s “Rise and Fall” as a teenager, but not since.
The Latest On Masks
The New England Journal of Medicine says that wearing them outside medical facilities offers little protection.
The Virus
It may be a vascular disease.
That would explain a lot. We’ve been comparing it to the flu, but it’s not a good comparison.
Roasting Chicken
I didn’t realize it was such a rare phenomenon. I rarely buy boneless chicken, and we roast a whole one (or split and grill it) almost every week, and then make soup with the leftovers, and have been doing it for years.
I continue to wonder how much this will change peoples’ eating habits, now that so many have learned to cook. It may mean that the restaurant industry will never recover to pre-plague levels.
