The CDC And FDA
How they wrecked the economy.
They both are overdue for a thorough overhaul, to the degree that they should even exist.
The Pope
…says that the virus is nature’s response to the “climate crisis.”
In related news, the Red Pope is a misanthropic idiot.
Why Obama Would Have Botched This
I’m surprised there are only six reasons.
[Update a couple minutes later]
They didn’t even include this one.
Testing Efficiency
This is the way to do it.
As the thread points out, you could just do one test per household, on the assumption that if one is infected, all are or will be. Hope the CDC/White House are aware of this thinking, because it makes a hell of a lot of sense to accelerate our knowledge of the scope.
[Early-afternoon update]
Turns out there’s a rapid-test device already available in hospitals.
The New Prohibition
Pennsylvania has made it both difficult and dangerous to purchase liquor.
Much of the response to this has been insane (and unconstitutional, and power grabby).
The Copperhead Media
A history lesson relevant to the current crisis.
The Biased Media
The Manchurian media wants you to forget their own terrible coverage.
Coronavirus Deaths
When are they actually coronavirus deaths?
Dying with coronavirus does not necessarily imply dying from it.
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.
