A Vaccine Is Coming

…and it will work.

But not in time to prevent everything that’s happening right now.

Also, a cure is in the works, but again, not soon enough to prevent all the economic destruction.

Faster, please.

Did the virus originate in a Chinese lab, and why is it crazy to ask?

I don’t think it is, which is not to say that I (yet) believe it did.

[Update a while later]

Ignoring the rant at the end, I wonder if this is for real?

I take it somewhat seriously because Patricia had it done to prepare her for a surgery a few months ago, and it did seem to help. It only costs a hundred bucks or so (she paid out of pocket), but I don’t know how capable we are of ramping it up.

[Update late morning]

How permanent will the changes to the healthcare industry be?

Some of the regulatory relief should certainly remain. I expect to see a lot more telemedicine, which is all to the good.

[Update a couple minutes later]

Under the circumstances, though I have in the past, I’m not doing an April 1st post this year, but the Bee steps up to the plate.

[Update Thursday afternoon]

We are all homeschoolers now.

This is going to have a huge impact on education, and for the better.

Conservatism

It’s time to get our fiscal house in order.

And no, reforming conservatism should not include embracing the New Deal.

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

[April 1st update]

Conrad Black responds.

Free-Market Health Care

How would it respond to the virus?

It’s been many decades since there’s been anything resembling a free market in this country’s health care, other than things like Lasik.

[Update a few minutes later]

Speaking of (lack of) free markets, restaurants in Los Angeles are being shut down for selling groceries without a license.

Government seems determined to put business out of business.
