Media
The most recent reports on the virus effects in the USA published by the NYTimes and others show the number of confirmed infections per nation. And we are at the top of the, OMG, how could this happen to us? It MUST be the utter mismanagement of the situation by Trump. Leaving China out of it, since we can't put any faith in their reports, let's see what the situation seems to be.
Here are the top six countries by confirmed cases (based on the case numbers from the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University as of 2:30 pm ET March 27) in descending order:
- USA (94,238)
- Italy (86,498)
- Spain (64,059)
- Germany (49,344)
- Iran (32,332)
- France (29,593)
However, there's this tiny detail.... the relative populations of these nations. Normally comparisons are made on an absolute basis, like percentages. So, if that approach is taken....
Now, here are the top six countries by confirmed cases per million people (based on population numbers from the CIA World Fact Book) in descending order:
- Italy (1386.13)
- Spain (1280.78)
- Germany (615.57)
- France (436.17)
- Iran (380.72)
- USA (283.30)
Gee, somehow that changes things just a tad.
Once more, tell me why I should rely on the media for good information?
Del
Bigots?
From my friend John Lewis: Samaritan's Purse has opened a 68-bed field hospital that is specifically equipped to serve as a respiratory care unit. You would think that the arrival of Samaritan’s Purse was heartily welcomed, especially as they managed to set up an overflow hospital to relieve the strain on packed Manhattan hospitals.
Alas, that's not the case.
Almost immediately after the news began to spread that Samaritan’s Purse was setting up a field hospital, LGBT activists and progressive journalists began to condemn the humanitarian organization for being based on the very Biblical principles that spur their life-saving work.
New York state Senator Brad Hoylman told NBC News that it is “a shame that the federal government has left us in the position of having to accept charity from such bigots. This health crisis is too delicate to leave to televangelists, purveyors of faith, to handle our medical needs.” City Council Speaker Corey Johnson joined Hoylman’s condemnation, stating that it is “extremely disturbing” that Samaritan’s Purse has been permitted to set up a field hospital and warning that he will be “monitoring the situation closely and making sure our city’s values are being represented at all times.” Mayor Bill de Blasio told the media that he was “very concerned” about the values of Samaritan’s Purse.
State Senator Hoylman ignores the fact that the personnel providing much needed medical care are not televangelists and purveyors of faith. They are dedicated doctors, nurses and respiratory specialists standing by to help save lives. Franklin Graham has said repeatedly that no one will be turned away, yet the intolerance continues.
Here's a thought for state Senator Hoylman and City Council Speaker Johnson...If you are so opposed to Samaritan's Purse putting the lives of doctors and nurses on the line in an attempt to save lives of COVID-19 patients, should you or a family member contact COVID-19, you have the option of not going to their facility for treatment. Hopefully, you will find an empty bed in one of the New York hospitals.

The Senator Who Saw the Coronavirus Comin.
The Senator Who Saw the Coronavirus Comin. By JOHN MCCORMACK
Excerpt: Tom Cotton was both the first and the loudest voice in Congress to sound the alarm about the looming pandemic. While others slept, Tom Cotton was warning anyone who would listen that the coronavirus was coming for America. On January 22, one day before the Chinese government began a quarantine of Wuhan to contain the spread of the virus, the Arkansas senator sent a letter to Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar encouraging the Trump administration to consider banning travel between China and the United States and warning that the Communist regime could be covering up how dangerous the disease really was. That same day, he amplified his warnings on Twitter and in an appearance on the radio program of Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade.

Common Anti-Parasite Drug May Kill Coronavirus in Under 48 Hours, Say Researchers
Excerpt: Researchers in Australia report that Ivermectin, an FDA-approved drug commonly used to treat parasites, appears to be effective in treating the SARS-COV-2 coronavirus (COVID-19). The drug is widely available and can be “repurposed” for this application, doctors said. The leader of the research team, Dr. Kylie Wagstaff issued a statement, saying, “Ivermectin is very widely used and seen as a safe drug. We need to figure out now whether the dosage you can use it at in humans will be effective—that’s the next step,” Newsweek magazine reported. “We found that even a single dose could essentially remove all viral RNA by 48 hours and that even at 24 hours there was a really significant reduction in it.” (PLEASE DO NOT ingest your dog's/cat's wormers and/or horse worming medications. --Barb)

supplies to china
From "This is True." The Needs of the Many? Before they publicly acknowledged the severity of the novel coronavirus outbreak, the Chinese government sent instructions to two Chinese real estate development companies in Australia. The order: buy up all of the medical “personal protective equipment” they can and immediately ship them to China. Greenland Group bragged in their newsletter about shipping over 3 million masks, 700,000 protective gowns, and 500,000 pairs of gloves. Risland Australia bragged on LinkedIn that a “chartered plane with 90 tons of medical supplies, including 100,000 most needed protective coveralls and 900,000 pairs of medical gloves, has successfully departed from Sydney and arrived in Wuhan.” Greenland said it also sourced bulk supplies of thermometers, antibacterial wipes, and Panadol (acetaminophen), and also loaded up on PPEs in Canada, Turkey, and other countries — all of which now have a critical shortage. China analyst Richard McGregor says it’s not surprising the companies would “publicize their patriotism,” because Chinese “real estate companies are particularly exposed to government whims, as all land is owned by the state.” (MS/Sydney Morning Herald) ...Most needed = most hoarded — even at the government level.

PELOSI MADE MILLIONS: After Congressional Coronavirus Meetings, Pelosi Bought $5 Million In Amazon Stock Before U.S. Retailers Were Forced To Close
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and her husband are cashing in already on $5 million of Amazon stock purchased during the time frame that closed-door coronavirus meetings were being conducted in Congress. As of Tuesday morning, the Pelosi stock purchase had already earned the couple $1.1 million in less than 10 weeks. The Amazon share price climbed close to $2,000 on Tuesday. Paul Pelosi, the speaker’s husband, got in at a price of $1,600 per share and grabbed 3,000 shares on Jan. 17, according to financial disclosure filings.

As California seeks ventilators, coronavirus reveals hazards of Jerry Brown’s austerity
As California seeks ventilators, coronavirus reveals hazards of Jerry Brown’s austerity
Excerpt: Brown’s obliviousness to pandemic threats is evidenced by his 2011 decision to scrap state-owned resources Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger had established for a situation like the one facing us today. “In 2006, citing the threat of avian flu, then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced the state would invest hundreds of millions of dollars in a powerful set of medical weapons to deploy in the case of large-scale emergencies and natural disasters such as earthquakes, fires and pandemics,” according to a story by Reveal, a project by the Center for Investigative Reporting. Schwarzenegger bought the equipment while state coffers were flush. Then along came the Great Recession. In 2010, California voters tasked Brown with fixing the budget deficit Arnold left behind. Among the things he cut: Schwarzenegger’s pandemic stockpile. “In 2011, the administration of a fiscally minded Democratic governor, Jerry Brown, who came into office facing a $26-billion deficit,” wrote Reveal’s reporters. “And so, that year, the state cut off the money to store and maintain the stockpile of supplies and the mobile hospitals. The hospitals were defunded before they’d ever been used.” (As Sowell says, politicians pay no penalty for bring wrong.)

Excerpt: As Jeff Charles reported, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti predicts that the City of Angels is less than a week away from reaching New York City levels of Wuhan coronavirus cases. Such a major increase (nearly doubling every two days) would overwhelm the city’s healthcare capacity. Garcetti said: “We will be where they are,” he told reporters on Friday. “We will have doctors making excruciating decisions. We will be trying to figure out what we do with that surge, how to get ventilators, where to find beds.”
REPORT: Mueller Hid Evidence Exonerating Don Jr. Over Infamous Trump Tower Meeting
REPORT: Mueller Hid Evidence Exonerating Don Jr. Over Infamous Trump Tower Meeting
Excerpt: Despite the fact that the Mueller report proved there was no collusion between Donald Trump and the Russians during the 2016 campaign, Democrats were convinced that there was more evidence out there, perhaps in the tiny fraction of the report that was redacted for national security reasons, that proved Trump actually did collude with the Russians. It turns out that the most interesting things about Mueller's investigation were not what was redacted from the report, but what wasn't included in the first place. According to investigative reporter John Solomon, Bob Mueller hid evidence exonerating Donald Trump Jr. over the infamous Trump Tower meeting, during which Democrats were convinced he had met with a Russian lawyer to discuss dirt on Hillary Clinton.
Oops
From my friend john: Last week Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer raked President Trump over the coals for suggesting that ’hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine as having some success treating patients with severe symptoms of the novel coronavirus. She threatened administrative action against any doctor that used those medications to treat COVID-19 patients. Administrative action has many levels, including taking away a doctor's license to practice in the state.
Yesterday, Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s administration requested an emergency supply of the drugs.

Rutgers Launches Genetic Testing Service for New Coronavirus
Rutgers Launches Genetic Testing Service for New Coronavirus
Excerpt: RUCDR has also submitted an emergency use authorization request for a saliva collection method that will allow for broader population screening. The RUCDR effort, which significantly increases the much-needed testing capacity in New Jersey, will provide information that allows people who test positive to self-quarantine, thus limiting the spread of the virus. In addition, health care providers, first responders and others will be able to quickly and safely return to work after recovering from COVID-19 and testing negative. The test is available now and based on a Nobel Prize-winning laboratory technique that makes millions of copies of the SARS-CoV-2 virus nucleic acid (in this case RNA) in a sample. Testing a nasal or throat swab sample determines whether someone is infected, with results available to providers within three days. Saliva testing would be a new development and would allow testing without the need of a medical provider to take the sample. (...) “Saliva testing will help with the global shortage of swabs for sampling and increase testing of patients, and it will not require health care professionals to collect samples,” Brooks said. [They expect to be able to process “tens of thousands” of samples daily. Another tool to get a handle on COVID-19. Ron P.]
3D-Printed Face Shields and Eye Shields Provide Help During COVID-19 Pandemic

3D-Printed Face Shields and Eye Shields Provide Help During COVID-19 Pandemic
Excerpt: A few days after reading about how Czech inventor and one of the giants in the 3-D printing industry, Josef Prusa, had developed a series of Ministry of Health–verified prototypes to create a design for face shields, Hanna learned health care teams in the area were running low on this PPE and immediately thought he could help provide a solution. “I used Prusa’s design for the face shield and went to Staples to pick up some Fellowes crystal presentation covers, which I cut out by hand to create the clear shield,” Hanna said. “I found a design for eye shields that is practically identical to the commercially purchased ones we use here and started 3D printing those as well. I really focused on those because there are technological limitations that make face mask production more difficult.” Because safety is critical, Hanna said he limited his current efforts to designs that have already been industry proven. [At the bottom of the article are links to “industry standard” specifications for both eye- and face-shields. If you have a 3-D printer, YOU might be able to help. The article also specifically mentions that these shields can be re-sterilized with Ultra Violet light for repeated use. I have no idea what the maker’s cost of materials might be, but if it saves some healthcare worker’s life, it’s probably worth doing 5 or 10 times. Ron P.]
The FISA Scandal Is about Corruption, Not ‘Sloppiness’
The FISA Scandal Is about Corruption, Not ‘Sloppiness’
Excerpt: Put it this way, the new IG report found a total of 390 problems in 39 of the 42 applications that “including unverified, inaccurate, or inadequately supported facts, as well as typographical errors,” and it found another 20 issues per application in the new audit. If you’re keeping score at home, only three of 75 FISA applications (4 percent) used to spy in the investigation, starting in October 2014, were not problematic. Whoops! It’s even worse than it looks, because Horowitz didn’t scrutinize the raw-evidence case files, which, for all we know, is teeming with mitigating evidence and facts omitted from the applications. If agents were this “sloppy” with warrants, what makes anyone believe that they collected the foundational evidence in a more professional manner? [There ought to be a lot of heads rolling on the floor when this is done. Don't hold your breath, though. Ron P.]

Prayer
Heavenly gender-neutral
God,
In the midst
of this awful COVID pandemic, caused by Donald Trump, please keep the abortion
clinics open so thousands of babies will come directly to you and not be born
in a world full of evil, racist Republicans.
Please
ensure that the Kennedy Center and PBS have plenty of money, even if poor
people go hungry, because they support our party.
Thank you
for the munificent pay raise we in Congress are about to receive. Thou knowest
how hard we work to do well good.
Keep the
media in our pockets, so we can be sure that our message, and not that of ugly
conservatives, reaches the great unwashed, ignorant voters.
Keep our
borders open, that many more undocumented workers may come here no questions
asked to partake of our benefits and to vote for Democrats. Make this a sanctuary
country.
Allow our
supporters to vote as often as they wish.
And Lord,
stop pictures of the homeless in my district from being spread around the
Internet, for it does great harm to our agenda.
I ask
this in the name of keeping our majority in the House.
A-person (Amen
being sexist)
Her Holiness,
Nancy.

Viral Prerequisites and Nationalist Lessons in Time of Plague.
Viral Prerequisites and Nationalist Lessons in Time of Plague. Trump’s prior initiatives eased the implementation of many of his most effective orders during this crisis. By Victor Davis Hanson
Excerpt: Certainly, candidate and then President Trump’s strident distrust of China was annoying to the American establishment. The Left saw China in rosy terms as the “Other” that just did things like airports, high-speed rail, and solar panels better than did America’s establishment of geriatric white male has-beens. Many on the Right saw China as a cash cow that was going to take over anyway, so why not milk it before the deluge? In sum, conventional Washington wisdom assumed that appeasing the commercial banditry of an ascendant China, at best might ensure that its new riches led to Westernized political liberalization, and at worst might at least earn them a pat on the head from China as it insidiously assumed its fated role as global hegemon.
