COVID-19/corona virus as of March 15, 2020

There is so much unknown at this time. The panic level is off the charts.  Panic is never a good response to anything, but the rise of it can lead us to reasoned action.  So, how much of the underlying emotion leading to this panic is justified? I do believe the MSM has been yelling "Fire" in crowded theater.  But, we're not even sure there is smoke yet. It has already been a wild, disastrous ride economically and many are going to find themselves between a rock and a hard place.  I'm no socialist, but I hope apartment landlords and bank mortgage managers allow some grace while we get through this.  Sending families by the thousands out onto the streets because they lived paycheck to paycheck is not in the best interest of this country. Here is a link of the David Harris Jr show interviewing Gary Heavin , a health care expert.  It's long at an hour, but I won't bury the lead:  he said this could be worse than the Spanish Flu due to the incubati...

Happy Sunday, everyone! It's been awhile since I've posted.  I've been waiting to see how the response to the trickling end of the corona virus would be. Earlier, I posted that there should be a single captain of the re-opening ship.  The tactic of having governors going their own way with their own standards and motivations, only to be complicated by county and city "leaders", creates a situation where the citizen and small business owner have no idea what to do.  On one side of an imaginary line, it's illegal to sell a beer or give a haircut, an hour away, people are packing restaurants and small business, those which managed to make it this far at least, are opening their shutters and praying for enough commerce to continue on. Generally speaking, I'm not for a centralized power structure, but when the response was nation wide, we need someone to at least vet the plans and organize things for continuity and to leverage interstate commerce to ma...

Corona virus/COVID-19 as of March 30, 2020

Viruses flourish throughout our world, some infect us and do bad things when they do, most just look at us a go, "Meh", and keep on walking by. When a virus mutates enough to make the jump from an animal to a human we have things like the "Swine Flue" and "H1N1". But, what does it mean when a virus which affects humans begins to infect our dogs and cats ?  I really don't know.  I'm not sure I've heard of such a jump before.  Our systems are so different that such a jump isn't common.  And, yet, a cat and two dogs have tested positive for COVID-19, assumed to have caught it from their owners. It feels, and I know that's a bad word, but it's the right word, it feels like this just puts another nail in the coffin of this being a naturally occurring virus.  With complete certainty and zero facts, hold on - I'm going full progressive, I'm just going to say that this is now officially a bio-weapon.  Oh, sure, DNA stu...
