Why Hospitals Are In Trouble

The current conventional wisdom is that they’re hurting because of the ban on “elective” procedures, but it turns out that most admissions are caused by the entertainment industry (restaurants and bars). Shut down all the purveyors of alcohol and food poisoning, and the beds are empty.

Patricia cut my hair last weekend with a Wahl electric clipper that I’d bought for ten bucks at Ross years ago, but we’d never used. She overdid it, and I look like I’m ready for boot camp, but she’d probably do better with practice and learning how to use it. I’ve heard Jesse Watters describe how his wife had learned to cook, and now I’m wondering how many of us will go back to paying other people to cut our hair and cook for us, now that we’ve figured out we can actually do it ourselves? Of course, I’ve never been a big restaurant goer, for reasons I’ve discussed several times here: the cost, and the nutrition. I’ve probably been affected by this as little as anyone.

Facemasks

Pose serious health risk to the healthy.

It’s definitely a bad idea to exercise wearing one.

The infuriating thing about this is the inability of some people to understand that there are no risk-free actions, or to accuse people who think that destroying the economy is sort of a bad idea of wanting grandma to die. They act like children.

[Update early afternoon]

The uncertainties of mask use demand that no one be forced to wear them.

The Flynn Case

What is Joe Biden hiding?

I’m surprised that Stephanopoulos pressed him on this. Have the DNC decided that they need a new candidate?

Thursday-morning update]

Some questions for Judge Sullivan, needing answers.

At what point does Sidney Powell appeal to a higher court?

How the Obama administration shattered the rule of law.

Though to be fair, they were only completing the job that the Clinton administration started.

[Afternoon update]

Nevertheless, Sidney Powell persisted.

In my book, she’s lawyer of the year.

[Update Friday afternoon]

Jonathan Chait’s cockamamie blackmail theory about Michael Flynn.

The lengths to which these toadies will go to twist themselves into logical knots to defend their Messiah Obama is breathtaking.
