I DON'T THINK THIS IS SATIRE: Democrats warn we shouldn’t reopen the country until we can be safe from Trump getting credit for a good economy.

But it is from America's News of Record.

NOT POSSIBLE: Trying to understand the latest weird coronavirus directive.

Coherence is not a Liberal strength.

WUHAN FLU [CORONAVIRUS] UPDATE for April 27, 2020:

Late, but not forgotten. Trends still steady and coming down toward the HealthData.org lower projection. Cumulative death toll is now about 10,000 less than the median projection (green dashed line).

An estimated 83.0% of Americans remain uninfected.

COURAGE IS IN SHORT SUPPLY in our so-called and mostly self-appointed elite class.

Will the “experts” and elected officials ever have the courage to tell people the truth about the situation? No. And the less said about our hopelessly corrupt press, the better.

Read it all.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: The scab and the wound beneath.

History repeats. Over and over. Read it all.

TAKE TRIBAL POLITICS OUT OF THE SHUTDOWN DEBATE. Think about the guy at the food pantry.

Bureaucrats don't wait in line for charity food. Nobody in politics has been laid off. And businesses that rely on government contracts are fat, like the road builders. Because coronavirus or no coronavirus, the kings of asphalt and concrete are always first in line.

And what of the small-business owner who doesn't build roads? She risked everything to open her business. She went into debt. But there are no customers now, and the landlord wants the rent and the taxman is always waiting.

She doesn't see herself as someone who Just Wants People to Die.

She wants to work. She wants to live.

The debate is over. End the lockdown. Open the economy.

I WISH THEM LUCK. Michigan legislature calls special session -– to strip Gov. Whitmer of emergency powers.

A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF POLICYMAKING: The deadly costs of extended shutdown orders.

IT SHOULD BE NONE: What states require coronavirus face masks in public?

ROGER KIMBALL: Post Hoc vs. Propter Hoc. Read the comments as well.

Added note: the video discussed in the article above is the subject of this post and can be accessed through it as well. It's long, but worth the time.

IT CAN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS: Green brownshirts strike at Michael Moore.

'Green brownshirts'. Heh.

HAVING FUN YET? Welcome to a test drive of socialist America.

ARE THEY 'TOO BIG TO FAIL'? What if the pandemic policymakers are wrong?

That they're wrong has become clear and obvious. 'Too big to fail' is a question for the next election. I hope to find that they are not.

VICTORY GIRLS: Lockdown is destroying our food supply chain.

THE DESTRUCTIVE ARROGANCE of the ruling governing class.

FAIR WARNING: Republicans, don't get cocky.

NICOTINE TO THE RESCUE: Smoke fags, save lives.

I knew it was bound to happen eventually....

'FLATTENING THE CURVE', and other lies.

CNN: Fake maps to accompanyfake news.

AN ER PHYSICIAN/ENTREPRENEUR'S perspective on the Wuhan virus. "To sum up, we’re reacting to a virus in a way that we’ve never before reacted, with disastrous consequences -- economically and otherwise. We’re in a hole, and it’s time to stop digging. It’s time to get out, go to church, go to work, go to school, go play, and get on with our lives!"
