You’re not allowed to...

EXERPT: Scenario #1: LOCK STEP “In 2012, the pandemic that the world had been anticipating for years finally hit.

Even the most pandemic-prepared nations were quickly overwhelmed when the virus streaked around the world, infecting nearly 20 percent of the global population and killing 8 million in just seven months, the majority of them healthy young adults. The pandemic also had a deadly effect on economies: international mobility of both people and goods screeched to a halt, debilitating industries like tourism and...

President Trump, don’t let Red China off the hook here. It is important to put an end to this pandemic. But it is just important to punish Red China for allowing this to happen in the first place. Let loose the lawyers! Rally the West. Every Coronavirus death - anywhere - is due to the Red Chinese. Seize their assets. Place tariffs on all Chinese goods. Make them pay.

I feel about this the way I feel about Sweden’s no-lockdowns experiment. Glad that someone’s doing it, so we can see how much better or worse it is than the standard model, annnnnnd glad that I’m not personally participating in it.Not sure I follow his logic on which businesses can open and which can’t, though. Restaurants are okay (if proper social distancing protocols are followed) but not bars? Some Georgia businesses including gyms, hair and nail salons and bowling alleys will be allowed to open Friday as the state moves toward reopening its economy. Gov. Brian Kemp (R) said...

On the one hand, evidence that there’s a large number of infected people walking around bolsters the argument that maaaaaybe the epidemic won’t be as bad as we think.
