Swine flu H1N1 Apr09-Jan10.  57M Americans infected, 257K hospitalized, 11,690 died.  Does anyone remember any full court press on Obama by the media and the Repubs as today we witness dished out hourly by the Dems and their lamestream in their vilification of Trump?  (H/T to reader.)

Russia impacted the 2016 election.  Those lyrics of our leftwing loonies still rings out loud and clear across the land.  And since that chorus started, tens of millions have been spent in the attempt to find any evidence, all to no avail.  Admittedly, our Left is not all that good with the finer points of English as they continue to confuse ‘attempt’ and ‘impact’, or is it really one from their repertoire of Big Lies broadcast daily?  That's called trolling for the dummies.

Coronavirus info link for Nevada CountyNC Health and Human Services.  The Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital has announced a new testing program; see 17mar20 update here.

[18mar20 update]  Epidemic model used by policy makers revealed, and also news of a stop-gap medicine to prevent and fight Covid19.  See the 18mar20 update to 'Testing, testing, …' here.

Correlation of the nation's blue concentrations with the incidence of Covid19 was pointed out in a reader's correspondence.  Apparently no one in the media has yet to make the connection.  (more here)

Lots of people buying guns and ammo.  The Left should recognize that these are not the nation’s gun owners who have already laid in their stash of Second Amendment armaments.  It is the latest tranche of newbies who have had their ‘gun epiphanies’ by the tens (hundreds?) of thousands.  The feds confirm this through the surge in background checks, and the dealers confirm it by reporting that these desperate buyers will take any available gun with any kind of ammo that fits.  Those of us who have owned guns for years would never even consider doing that for more reasons that we simply don’t have to.

All the Dems grousing about Trump’s “failure to handle the pandemic” are simply full of horseshit (aka bull pucky).  No one dares to compare America’s response with the actual numbers of what the other Left-celebrated countries have done.  Grab any metric that you have available.  And the biggest farce is the so-implied massive testing that other countries have done.  The challenge is to discover what marginal benefit to prophylactic or prescriptive policies has their testing provided that shows America is somehow behind the response curve.  Nothing – but ‘testing’ is the only thing that the Dems have, with no better (or any) plans of their own, to try to get some traction against the Trump administration.

Ordering out from restaurants.  Lots of people are buying into this alternative as an easy way to get good food without risking Covid19 infection.  Not so advise the thinking medicos.  You have no guarantee of what kind of food was used to prepare in what manner by personnel in what kind of pre-symptomatic condition within kitchens of unknown sanitary state that are frequented by numerous people whose outside contacts are also totally unknown.  The infectious disease experts tell us to order out is still a crapshoot.

    Ya sure its all Trump fault for saying Chinese virus, just the facts ma’am it is the chi coms who screwed the world –
    The World Health Organization (WHO) is now haunted by a tweet it sent earlier this year when it cited Chinese health officials who claimed there had been no human transmissions of the novel coronavirus within the country yet.
    The Jan. 14 tweet came less than two months before WHO declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic.
    “Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, #China,” the organization had said.
    It also relied on information from Chinese health authorities who have been accused of obscuring facts and figures during the course of the outbreak.
    The Chinese government reportedly knew the disease was spreading before the tweet was sent, according to the South China Morning Post.
    The New York Times’ China correspondent, Amy Quin, said Tuesday on Twitter that the country had begun expelling American journalists.
    Axios reporter Jonathan Swan drew attention to Quin’s story on social media the next day and went on to criticize the Chinese government for instituting a cover-up, and failing to deliver life-saving information to the public.
    “Terrible. We desperately need accurate reporting from China,” he tweeted. “The pandemic originated in Wuhan & was initially covered up by Chinese authorities. University of Southampton study found there would have been a 95 % REDUCTION in cases & less spread if Beijing intervened 3 wks sooner.”
    “The world is directly affected by China’s domestic governance,” he added.”The suppression of doctors sounding the alarm, censoring of public health info online and now the expulsion of the journalists who are working to reveal what happened in the crucial early days of this pandemic.”

    Hey this one is worthy of the pony tail of ignorance posting before the correction! LOL –
    The Washington Post was forced to issue a correction after columnist Jennifer Rubin attacked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., for allegedly not rushing to pass financial aid during the national coronavirus emergency.
    In a column published Tuesday that trashed President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak, the self-described “conservative blogger” took a swipe at McConnell, comparing him to a sloth for his inaction on a relief package.
    “Finally, the Republican-led Senate is fiddling while Rome burns. The failure to take an immediate vote on the House’s relief package last week was emblematic of the sloth and irresponsibility of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell,” Rubin wrote.
    However, Rubin’s characterization of McConnell turned out not to be accurate.
    The Post explained in a correction at the top of Rubin’s column the next day.
    “An earlier version of this article incorrectly said that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) delayed a vote on the House’s coronavirus relief package. In fact, McConnell vowed to move at ‘warp speed’ on the bill and it was only delayed due to a demand from Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) for an amendment on the bill. This version has been updated,” the correction read.

    What are the more obvious connections. More immigrants? Especially the unintegrated variety that keep closer ties with foreign countries? Probably. Higher density of people? More public transit? Cultures with multi-generational households (ie. not Anglos). Dunno on all these until I saw better numbers on cases per million.

    “On the face of it, the yoeman farmer ideal doesn’t seem like such a bad notion.”
    Yeoman: A Yoeman was a property owner but beneth a gentleman in a social rank.
    Well, that pretty much describes at lot of folks around here.
    Point to be made. Marijuana business. Stories are coming out about folks panic buying TP, hand sanitizer, guns, and marijuana. This morn there is a story about Michigan loosening the rules of its pot shops (because of the Chinese Flu) to temporarily allow curbside service to the consumers.
    With that in mind, good thing we have 2-3,000 growers here. Because someone put a gun to their heads and forced them to sell the lion’s share of the harvest out of state (they blame regs, $, and taxes on the County for not going legit), I think our local economy will hum along with all those green back a dollars rolling it from out of state.
    Remember, the purpose of the local herb industry is to make sure the stores and streets of our Nevada City merchants do not roll up the sidewalks, shutter the doors, and turn into a dying town. Like the lottery, our schools win too!
    That theory will be put to the test. We do have local deliveries already up and running before The Plague.. “Da Plague, da plague! Look Boss, the Plague!” I miss Tatoo.
    Last thought on the stress small businesses here are under. Just last fall we had the Turkey Day power shut-offs looming after intermittent days of no power. Cancel Christmas?? So, the local merchants had to go out and buy generators at their peak gouging price to get their stores open….some had to borrow heavily on top of loss of revenue. Now the Plague. Looks like the Plague shutdown will not be over in a week or two. Consider it as a long blackout.
    One superstition I have is never ask “What could be worse?” Sometimes that question is answered in hours or the next afternoon. Usually, something added to the mix…something bad like a car accident when you are coming back for the ER all bandaged up. So, l won’t ask what could be worse, but I will ask, “What is the next shoe to drop.”

    OBSERVATIONS ON THE GREAT HUNKERING (4)
    “One welcome byproduct of the COVID 19 crisis is that we are getting some blessed relief from the ministrations of St. Greta of Thunberg, which rather puts things in perspective: How can we possibly be navigating this crisis without the advice and counsel of Time magazine’s most recent Person of the Year? It’s almost as though when something serious comes along, as opposed to the climate change whim-wham, adults recognize that listening to a teenager is stupid.”

She doesn’t need that kind of firepower. Fortunately most most dealers are ethical and would have not sold her that gun which was wrong for her needs. A smaller sidearm would have been just fine. Haste makes waste.

    Re: Homeschooling in the Age of the Plague.
    You know, suppose you already homeschool your weird named kids. Suppose you live in the boonies and are used to waiting in the library or library parking lot while your weird named kids are doing their homework.
    Suppose you live in town and your weird named kids are home for weeks and are driving you crazy. So, how about a walk to the park for a nice family time and enjoy some fresh air and get some exercise. Clean fun, just what the doctor ordered.
    Surprise, surprise, surprise! All libraries are closed and now you can’t go into the parks! Which is why I never ask, “What else could go wrong?”
    But, if I were inclined ask the forbidden question, I would say (hypothetically) that people are going to really start bugging out soon and start doing and saying all sorts of crazy shit. I point to Mary Wannbee’s previous comment this fine morning. I rest my case.

    re: ‘Ordering out from restaurants’ in the (no doubt) long forgotten OP.
    You can imagine the destruction in that business. Not only will the restaurants that are on the verge financially shut down, but people will probably get used to not eating out. I can’t say there’s any point, the likelihood of getting a better meal commercially than I can make at home is darned small. I figure roughly a 4:1 mark up (before tip and drink) on using (probably) much better materials in my own kitchen. YMMV.
    On another matter, I wonder how long until people suggest that we have the virus administered to us in a controlled fashion. It’s certainly one way to flatten the curve since a lot of this is all about controlling hospital admissions.
    Helluva thing having the world come to an end, at least for now, because some Chinese bio-warfare lab is selling bats out the back door or a meat vendor in Hunan is selling God-knows-what.
