COVID Conferences Carried By Fox, Youtube, Facebook

COVID Conferences Carried By Fox, Youtube, Facebook — The once-admired traditional media is no longer giving live coverage to President Trump’s daily updates about the COVID-19 pandemic which, as of now, is expected to kill 100,000 Americans and that is in the best case estimate.

Why? Because the President is looking good in them. Why is he looking good? Because he is appearing humble, responsible and is clearly taking this crisis seriously. As many, if not more, questions are answered by the team he assembled whether it be Vice President Mike Pence who is tasked with administering it; Carlisle-native Dr. Deborah Leah Birx, an internationally recognized expert on vaccine research who served as Barack Obama’s Ambassador at Large and U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator; and Dr. Anthony Stephen Fauci, whom the New York Times has called the “the nation’s leading expert on infectious diseases” and who directed the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases under Obama.

The traditional media is a disgrace and no longer practices journalism.

The decision to cut off the updates is especially bizarre as they are widely watched and there are a myriad of options to see them. Fox News and Fox Business carry them as does C-Span , and we are pretty sure you can see it on One America News Network if you get it. Further you can find it on Facebook, Youtube and probably Breitbart.

What the lame old media has chosen to do is divisive and extremely irresponsible.

Today’s (April 1) update is scheduled for 5 p.m.

Wuhan Flu Thoughts March 23

Wuhan Flu Thoughts March 23 — So Katie, here is our latest observation regarding the Wuhan Bat-eater Flu.

Humble bow to President Xi

Nontransparent commie he may be .

As we noted March 12, you should not be afraid and enjoy life. Granted you may have to enjoy life with a video game but they can be fun.

To be less facetious, these are historic times but that may be a good thing. The attempt to minimize suffering and death is unprecedented. The last time this sort of thing happened between 500,000 and 675,000 Americans died in a population a third the size of today.

If the policies put in place by the federal, state and local governments work, the defeat of this pandemic will truly be historic.

Senatorial Profiteering Alleged

Senatorial Profiteering Alleged — Senators Richard Burr of North Carolina and Kelly Loeffler of Georgia are facing allegations that they profited greatly from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Both are accused of selling hundreds of thousands of dollars in stock after being briefed on the disease during their legislative duties. Sen. Loeffler, also reportedly bought stock in a telecommuting firm, a rather prescient purchase.

The market tanked by almost 10,000 points after the briefing.

Both are Republicans. If the reports are true, they should resign and face the same charges the rest of us would regarding insider trading.

Burr, who heads the Senate Intelligence Committee, has been a strange defender of Deep State interests. He has attacked President Trump’s firing of problematic FBI Director James Comey . He has also sought to keep the fires burning on the debunked claims that Trump colluded with the Russians.

Trump Hears Truckers, Makes Wolf Reopen Stops

Trump Hears Truckers, Makes Wolf Reopen Stops — The Wolf administration in its not so brilliance closed rest stops on Pennsylvania’s interstates excepting the Turnpike.

The oh-so-necessary-in-these-times truckers objected. The Trump Administration learning of the stupidity confronted the Wolf gang who agreed to reopen stops in seven counties albeit the one in Delco on I-95 stays closed.

As with the Turnpike, the indoor bathrooms will remain closed but each stop will have five portable toilets that will be sanitized daily along with two hand-washing stations.

Medical personnel have noted that the outdoor toilets are far more likely to spread the Wuhan virus, than the indoor ones.

In more stupidity, PennDOT has suspended all construction projects. You would think now would be a pretty good time to get the work done.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, Monday (March 16), sent home all toll booth operators. Motorists who don’t have E-ZPass will have their license automatically photographed and a bill for the toll sent to them. A man-made traffic snarl has just ended. Will the toll booth takers ever come back?

And Philly will not be enforcing its parking kiosks, meters or residential parking time limits.

Kung Flu Fighting

Kung Flu Fighting — If you missed the just ended presidential Covid-19 update, a silly person pretending to be a journalist snippily asked President Trump about a report that someone in the White House referred to the disease as the Kung Flu. The President asked her who. She didn’t know. The President asked her to repeat the phrase. She got flustered. The president was Kung Flu fighting. His quips were fast as lightning. It was a little bit frightening. But he fought with expert timing.

Kung Flu Fighting
Kung Flu master

And for what it’s worth, we never heard the phrase until the silly person pretending to be a journalist brought it up. We think she coined a new name for the disease which will come into common use.

Wuhan Flu Silver Lining May Be Cyber Education

Wuhan Flu Silver Lining May Be Cyber Education — Pennsylvania’s school boards love their Taj Mahals. The go-along-to-get-along-especially-when-we-can-get-a-cut political parties happily egg them on. The lap dog media outlets masquerading as protectors of the little guy joyfully hump their legs.

With the Wuhan Flu — excuse me President Xi that should be Wuhan Bat-eater Flu — maybe horizons can be expanded and some thinking outside the box occur. The panic is causing some places to put their education online.

Economics forced the one-time steel town of Midland, Pa. to close its high school in 1985. It contracted with other districts to handle education including at one point sending its children across the border into Ohio.

In 2000, it started The Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School, commonly known as PA Charter. It is now the largest public school in Pennsylvania and second largest in the country. The vast majority of attendees are happy with it.

Granted you still need hands-on interaction especially for the arts and athletics which are very important for growth but one can’t deny the flexibility offered online, the enormous cost savings and the chance to escape some of the twisted teachings that have become fashionable by the progressives who run the educational establishment.

Online education might be a silver lining of the Wuhan Flu.

Wuhan Flu Thoughts And Observations

Wuhan Flu Thoughts And Observations — We have been asked to express our view on the Wuhan flu so here goes.

In the historical sense we don’t think it is going to be that bad.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Trump administration’s point man on fighting the disease, estimates the mortality rate at 1 percent which is about 10 times worse than the typical flu.

Obviously, we should take it seriously.

On the other hand, this is not the Philadelphia yellow fever epidemic or the various cholera pandemics or typhus or even the Spanish Flu which had a mortality rate of between 2 and 3 percent and also hit Philadelphia rather hard.

The Wuhan flu is very dangerous for old people so we are keeping our old people in and staying in ourselves for their sake.

If we were on our own, however, we would catch a plane and check out Disney World were lines would be short and deals would be expected. Actually, if they are still doing cruises we would go on one assuming the deals are what we think they are.

We think the economy is obviously going to be hurt as there are those who, like us, are obliged to avoid going out and the stock market is suffer accordingly.

In the long term, though, we will be fine unless the government screws things up.

Actually, our biggest fear is the Deep State not letting “a serious crisis go to waste” and pull stuff as they did after 9/11 such as the TSA and Patriot Act.

One more observation: The death rate on the Diamond Princess where 3700 people were stuck with the Wuhan flu for a month was about 1 percent (corrected).

Don’t be afraid and enjoy life.
