Yes, this makes me want to go out for a drive just as a big FU to der Staat.

Everyone jumps off bridges after following government guidelines to jump off bridges.

It’s a pointless uneconomic ritual, and civic religion.
Real and imagined.
Where are we really with the virus?
Note that (as is often the case with healthcare statistics) different countries are keeping books differently, making it difficult to compare. I continue to believe that the fatality rate will ultimately end up being far below one percent.

A lot of links from Instapundit. Things are looking better than the models. One I found of interest is that if we can believe Chinese data, four out of five cases are asymptomatic.
I was never a huge fan, but it sounds like his was a life well lived.

They harbor the virus; keep them short. Makes sense, though it will affect women’s fashion considerably.

What struck us as particularly off in the captain’s letter was his statement: “We are not at war.” He added that “sailors do not need to die” and that “if we do not act now, we are failing to properly take care of our most trusted asset — our sailors.” The Navy, though, doesn’t need to be instructed on the value of its own sailors. Plus, too, under our system it’s not carrier captains who decide whether we’re at war.
The most important asset is not the crew, but the ship, and the crew must be ready to be sacrificed for the mission. I wrote a book about that.
