'DISHONEST PANICMONGERING' WORKS FOR ME: How honest is the COVID-19 fatality count?
It's pretty clear the healthscare professionals are trying for panic.

MORE MASKS, fewer models?
Perhaps these experts should look harder at the actual data, and not just their models. The data certainly suggests more testing may not be our savior. Alternatively, the Trump Administration should consider asking Governors to mandate, not suggest, that their citizens wear face masks in public. South Korea’s and Japan experience suggests that combining this policy with one that more surgically isolated the elderly and most vulnerable while allowing most of the country to go back to work, would provide more effective protection from the virus and at a far, far lower cost.Better yet, quit breathing in public. (I'm serious; if you're not well, stay home.)
YES, OBVIOUSLY: Is there 100% irrefutable proof that the Covid19 pandemic is overstated?
What I've been saying over and over again, but much better than I could ever do. Read it. Carefully. Then think about it.
Forget the trees - look at the forest.

SOME QUESTIONS for our HealthScare Providers.
And one from me, personally: As one of those 'elderly at risk', did you think to ask me if I needed -- or wanted -- to be isolated and protected?

WUHAN FLU [CORONAVIRUS] UPDATE for April 12, 2020:
Case and death rates are still trending down, now for the 4th day in a row. Going out on a limb here, but it looks to me like the pandemic is over just in time for our ruling class's full economic lockdown to finish off what's left of the economy.
It also looks like the projected deaths tail has finally quit wagging the dog and will start to stabilize somewhere on the low end of the spectrum.
And a reminder: 99.15% of the U.S. is still virus-free. Would that 99% of the economy were also unshackled....

SPRING FORWARD, 4TH WEEK: Yes, it is getting greener outside; we're just in the middle of an epic April thundershowerfall that took out at least 8-10 trees from our tiny community. Here are today's pictures, all taken while sheltered from the rain.
First, the usual view from the deck. The small stuff has pretty much finished flowering and has begun to green up. The trees are showing buds now, but haven't started to show leaves yet
The area to the north around the fire pit is showing signs of activity, but still not too much in the way of greening up.
And finally from the comfort and safety of the carport, a look to the west. Since there's still a lot of uncut brush on the other side of the road, it's showing spring in much more splendor. The bigger trees are still mostly bare, but the brush beneath them is actively leafing out.
And finally a couple of pictures from around the area taken in the past few days ...
Yes, there is a driveway under those fallen trees. It took 4 people, 3 chainsaws, and a tractor nearly a full day to clear a path for the owners to be able to get to their house. There is plenty of future mulch and firewood on both sides of the driveway now....
Finally, here's a small farm just down the way from where we live. The picture was taken the day before the storm hit. Luckily they didn't seem to be affected.
Last week's pictures are here.

FROM THE WAYBACK MACHINE (MARCH 30TH): Los Angeles and Seattle announce their first coronavirus cases among the homeless.
I was initially surprised that it took so long for the coronavirus to affect the homeless and somewhat surprised that once infected, the virus didn't spread more rapidly. Then it came to me that the homeless have lived so long in a filthy, drug and disease infested squalor that they're probably immune to most everything. Perhaps our esteemed HealthScare Professionals should look amongst them for a cure....
I fear the meek won't inherit the Earth, the zombies will. Crocodiles and cockroaches have been around for a long time....

FORGET IT, JAKE, it's Chinatown.
Remember North Korea? SARS? MERS? HIV/AIDS? Ebola? Recurrent flu epidemics/pandemics? The last Rebel Wilson movie?Our Deep State is clearly the most inept, corrupt, worthless, and shameless pile of political panderers in the history of thie Republic.
We survived them all without causing incalculable damage to our economy, life-styles, and basic freedoms. In the US, we have thrown out our Bill of Rights, in particular, the First Amendment. Yes, yes, before somebody chimes in, I realize that this legal opinion is probably accurate (h/t Instapundit): "the simple reality is this: federal courts will not enjoin temporary measures that are facially calculated to save lives." Doesn't mean that this is Right in the real sense, or that damage has not been done to the Constitution, and, of course, "temporary" is in the eye of the promoter, i.e., the bureaucracy and its multi-trillion dollar "rescue" packages using our money. If these "temporary" measures and "rescues" continue, soon we will not need to scrounge for toilet paper, we will use worthless $100 bills.
I do, nevertheless, understand the President's predicament. He will get blamed by the howling lefty mob for each and every infection and death, no matter what he does.

THIS ONE IS OLDER BUT WORTH REMEMBERING AS CONGRESS CONTINUES TO TRY TO SPEND ITS WAY OUT OF THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC.

YES, IT IS: Our emerging "social distancing' police state is beyond disturbing.
Indeed, it most definitely is.
