It could be much worse.
I tweeted a couple weeks ago that I wasn’t worried about the virus, because I’d already been killed by Trump’s election, the end of Net Neutrality, and the tax-rate cuts.

The Constitution dies of coronavirus.
It had a good run. The Bee has been on fire throughout this.
Thoughts from Eugene Volokh.
Our biggest problem continues to be a paucity of information. The old saying is that knowledge is power, and right now, we’re still pretty powerless in that regard.

Pandemics come and go, but medical masks are eternal.
The pandemic may be the event that finally pops the higher-education bubble.

Florida State dumps policies on bias, ‘offensive’ language, ‘demeaning’ behavior, ‘inappropriate’ email.
But Ole Miss still requires on-line students to complete ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ training.
Absurd.
This is hilarious:
I was chatting with a friend of mine recently and the topic of gun sales came up. My friend’s father owns a gun range near me and she said he’s seen a huge amount of liberals coming in to purchase weapons in recent weeks.
How does he know they’re liberals?
“They’re shocked to discover they can’t just walk out of the store with a gun.”
We’ve all heard about gun sales skyrocketing recently, but I hadn’t considered some of the tangential effects of the phenomenon until I spoke to my friend. Not only are many liberals suddenly learning to love their Second Amendment rights, many of them are finding out that the gun control narrative in this country — as repeated loudly and often by Hollywood and the mainstream media — is a complete lie.
But they were told by all the smartest people how easy it was!
Whitmer is being touted as Biden’s running mate, but that was before this. She wasn’t particularly popular as governor, having been swept in with the blue tide in 2018. So far, she’s been getting a boost from this, but I’ll be interested to see her polling in the wake of her petty tyranny. And not just her, but all such petty tyrants. I hope people will remember this fall.

Or a crying baby?
We’ve been the latter for far too long. We raised a generation of them. I hope this changes that.
The Republicans must not betray their base.
They did in 2008-2009. That’s where the Tea Party came from.
I’ve never worried about the food itself; my concern is the packaging. As it says, take the food out of it, dispose, and wash your hands. It’s also good that the drive-through cashiers are holding out the machine for you to insert your card in, rather than taking it from you and handing it back.
RIP.
She was the only person in that mess who told the truth, or showed any integrity, and she paid a societal price for it. She was brutalized by the Clinton-worshipping media, and the “comedians” on SNL.
This is a reminder that we really need an early-detection capability for pancreatic cancer.
…says that the virus is nature’s response to the “climate crisis.”
In related news, the Red Pope is a misanthropic idiot.
