Hollywood’s “Trump Is Hitler” “Argument”
It’s even more pathetic now. We joke about TDS, but they really are deranged.
A Vaccine Is Coming
…and it will work.

On that last link, I hadn’t been aware that Conrad Black is an admirer of FDR. That’s disappointing.

Virus thoughts from VDH. I don’t buy the 1-2% number. I think it will ultimately be shown to be much lower than that.

Why herd immunity is not a solution, at least not without a vaccine.
I agree on principle, but I continue to believe that the ratio of infections to deaths is much less than one percent.
