Meanwhile, some dairy products are sold out at many grocery stores across the country, due to intense demand for basic household goods amid the coronavirus crisis. USA Today reports on one farm in Wisconsin: “About 7 o’clock Tuesday night, Golden E Dairy got the call that any dairy farmer would dread. They were being asked to dump 25,000 gallons of fresh milk a day because...

An executive order that says the state can take ventilatorsAs deaths spiraled upward in New York City and downstate suburbs, Governor Andrew Cuomo Friday announced that he was scrambling to find more of the ventilators that keep the sickest COVID-19 patients alive.

Good Afternoon And WELCOME To The Sean Hannity!

In his iconic style, President Donald Trump took to Twitter Monday to rip into the liberal New York Times and The Washington Post. The president tweeted that “Advertising in the Failing New York Times is WAY down. Washington Post is not much better.” Trump continued: “I can’t say whether this is because they are Fake News sources of information, to a level that few can understand, or the Virus is just plain beating them up. Fake News is bad for America!”

The story is that President Trump downplayed Coronavirus, even declaring it a hoax while the Democratic politicians, mainstream journalists, and medical experts understood the magnitude of the problem from the end of January to March before we began social distancing. This is fiction retconned by the Democratic Party and their biased media. First, Trump never called the virus a hoax. He called the politicization of the virus by the Democrats and their biased media a hoax. The Democrats at Snopes point this out although they blame Trump for the confusion. However, it seems to me those news "journalists" who misunderstood...

The model projected that New York would need 65,400 hospital beds by April 4, but only 15,905 were actually used, according to former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson. President Donald Trump said Sunday that the coronavirus model the White House has been using overestimated the number of beds that would be needed to treat patients. The president admitted that the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) model his administration was using has been off on the number of hospital beds needed, but did not say whether he would be open to changing the type of models he’s been...

Austria could start easing its coronavirus lockdown measures from next week, Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said Monday, but warned that this depended on citizens abiding by social distancing rules. “The aim is that from April 14... smaller shops up to a size of 400 square metres, as well as hardware and garden stores can open again, under strict security conditions of course,” Kurz said at a press conference.

Raphael died in Rome 500 years ago today. Rome was to have been the focal point in the global celebrations of the 500th anniversary of the death of the High Renaissance artist and architect Raphael, hosting an "unprecedented" exhibition, the greatest Raphael show the world had ever seen. The Raphael exhibition saw a boom in the purchase of pre-sale tickets, with thousands of people around the world planning a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Italy to see the groundbreaking show, featuring no less than 100 paintings by the Renaissance master, with 40 masterpieces on loan from the Uffizi in Florence. Raphael's much-anticipated...

Catholic Bishops Forbid Making Sign Of The Cross: ‘You Could Poke Your Eye Out And Go Blind’ (Satire) The U.S. bishops announced on Friday that the sign of the cross would no longer be permitted. The precaution was instituted to protect Catholics who might accidentally stick their fingers in their eyes and blind themselves.The latest announcement was the most recent of a series of changes—beginning with the indefinite suspension of all public Masses and the abolition of meatless Fridays in Lent—designed to bring the Barque of Peter in line with the latest developments in Catholic theology. As Archbishop Wilton Gregory...

For better or for worse, the University of Washington’s IHME model has become, for many governmental units, the go-to set of projections relating to the Wuhan coronavirus in the U.S. Governments credit the IHME’s forecasts of cases, deaths, hospitalizations, and strain on medical resources. Until today, the IHME was forecasting 93,531 deaths from the virus (through early August). Now, it has (to 81,766). This number is in line with the model’s initial forecast (or at least the first such forecast of which I’m aware). The model still predicts that the daily death rate from the virus will peak on April...

Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton “It took 70 days for Trump to treat the coronavirus not as a distant threat or harmless flu strain well under control, but as a lethal force poised to kill tens of thousands of citizens.”

Italy is still on the peak, the descent has not yet started The spread of coronavirus in Italy has not yet taken the descent that is hoped for, both to see the number of cursed victims, hospitalized and infected people decrease and to see a light and start thinking about life after, the so-called phase 2. But the data still should not be decided in that direction. The new Civil Protection bulletin speaks of an increase in the number of sick (i.e. currently positive people) equal to 1941 units (less than in the past few days, yesterday there were 2972)...
