We’re probably at the end of the beginning of the great Chinese coronavirus insanity, and in not-to-long, we’ll be back to work, despite the people screaming that Trump wants to kill all the old people to please Wall Street fatcats because of course he does. We’ll also soon be assessing blame.
There’s lots of blame because there are a lot of stupid people and institutions who should be blamed. There are also heroes. I wrote about them the other day. But most of the people you recognize from the idiot box were zeros.
The list of zeros must begin with the media, as if that’s a shock.

The MSM who hate Trump should understand that he is working night and day over this. Before the unproductive gotcha questions start in the virus conferences, acknowledging this, would be basic class and would bring credibility to themselves. I'm not sure who raised these kids but their lack of any class and respect is on display to all of the US and their kids will one day watch it too without a political eye.

I read the title of the article and then saw the author and immediately started to chuckle. Although I am in lock step with Kirt, I could never write as pithy or clever as he does. He’s a master in turning a phrase. (I think I’ll read it again.)

some of this went right over my head, but I enjoyed it.
Little Andrew Cuomo is a nasty duplicate of his father. he is not an acceptable version of his father, Mario.
the networks, including Fox, are pimping out little Mario, for no good reason, in my opinion.

Funny guy!
“ The Atlantic has sucked up to the Chinese so hard that if you read one of its Xi-fluffing features, a half-hour later you’re ready to read it again.”
The problem? It takes a day to read an Atlantic article (slight exaggeration).

FTA: "Someday, an expert is going to write the definitive book on the modern American media. That expert will be a proctologist."
Indeed, sir, indeed.

If the demonrats switch to Cuomo, the Republicans need to ask, every time he is in front of a microphone, what happened to the $6 billion which went missing from HHS while he was running it. They also need to run ads featuring his gleeful signing of his “abortion up to the moment of birth” bill and his lighting of the Empire State Building in pink to celebrate it. He is thoroughly corrupt scum.

Another hero in the midst, Kurt Schlicter, keeping us laughing and optimistic in the midst of this situation.
Keep on writing, Kurt! Thanks for the lighter side.
MAGA!!! KAG!!! TRUMP 2020 AND BEYOND! Andrew Cuomo is a poser. As left as can be except when he needs his bread buttered by the American taxpayer.

Good commentary, as usual. Lots of zeroes, mostly the usual folks. But in many ways, the USA was better prepared than most countries for this, in spite of the socialists.
There is a good article on Fox that reports on an international commission saying that the US was the most prepared country before this pandemic. The Global Health Security Index ranked only US, Canada, Australia, UK, France, Sweden and Finland as "Most Prepared" for a pandemic.
An interesting map of pandemic preparedness before this event at the GHS web site: https://www.ghsindex.org/
