Dr. Deborah Birx can these days be seen regularly at President Trump and VP Mike Pence’s daily coronavirus briefings. However, Dr. Birx’s comments don’t always match up with the panicked rhetoric the lefty media is pushing, which had led to this comment from former Clinton spokesman and current CNN contributor Joe Lockhart:
Really? First things first:

OUR BRAVE JOURNALISTS: In an uncertain time, the media falls back on the thing it knows best: dividing people.
Two years ago, CNN infamously tracked down a person responsible for creating a wrestling GIF lampooning their corporate logo, which just happened to be retweeted by President Trump. Reporter Andrew Kaczynski and CNN threatened to reveal the monster’s identity unless he apologized.
CNN reporter Drew Griffen tracked down a senior citizen in Florida and parked a camera crew on her front lawn, accosting her over her Facebook group which he claimed was a Russian front group that bought ads on Facebook that swayed the 2016 election.
This browbeating of everyday people on social media by activist journalists has become all too familiar. The problem with publishing stories like Marc Fisher’s in the Washington Post is that there are more people with a voice to pushback on this kind of random targeting.
Within minutes of Fisher declaring on Twitter that he had contacted McMillen’s parents, he faced a tidal wave of backlash from people with plenty more than 495 followers.
A very well-deserved Twitter ratio; read the whole thing.

Wen't you the idiot telling people to buy Rush Limbo's tea party tea?
Yes you were!
Oh how interesting.
When he is getting his ass handed to him, Tibsy erases a posters response and then adds something to misrepresent what they said.
I would say that makes you a low-life, scum sucking, gutter dweller.
Make sure you quote me correctly in your next lie about the TEA Party.

COMMENTER BART HALL POSTED ON FACEBOOK:
Truckers are saying “***** the log rules, I’m hauling” and they’re getting supplies to the stores. People are stocking the shelves all night and letting old people shop first. Folks are buying meals for truckers, who (obviously) can’t go through the drive-ups. Asking ’em what they want, then buying it for them.
Carnival Cruise Line has told Trump “We can match those big Navy Hospital ships with some fully staffed cruise ships”.
GM and Ford have said “hold our cars and watch this — we can make ventilators where we were just making car parts, starting next week” — by re-engineering seat ventilators which their engineers hacked together for a new purpose. In under a week.
In a project with which I’m loosely associated, a very-effective agricultural disease-control agent was re-purposed and re-labeled specifically for Corona-virus control by the FDA and EPA in under ten days, from initial request to distribution.
Restaurants and schools have said, “we’ve got kitchens and staff; we can feed the poor kids who used have school lunch.”
NBA basketball players have said, “Hold our basketballs while we write checks to pay the arena staff.”
Construction companies are saying, “Here are some high-end masks for medical staff and doctors”.
Distilleries are making sanitizer out of distilling “heads and tails” which are normally discarded. Nasty ***** to drink, but effective sanitizer.
People are tipping grocery check-out clerks and thanking them for taking the risk.
Local, state, and county governments are taking control of everything the feds cannot do. Some are doing it wrong, but for the first time in decades … they’re doing it. Federalism is re-emerging, and the smallest unit of government is the individual and the family. This, too, is re-emerging after decades of dormancy.
As Japanese Admiral Isokuru Yamamoto said, after Pearl Harbor … “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”
I sense this has just happened. We have a wonderful country, the greatest single force for good in all human history.
We have closed our borders, with good reason, yet we have top medical people now assisting North Korea in their response to the virus.
Many things have been re-set, and will never be the same.
By microbiological accident, we are living in profoundly transformative historical times.
Indeed we are.

The BBC is reporting that a group of Mexican protesters at the border is demanding a Trump administration crackdown on people entering Mexico from the United States:
It's due to the China Virus of course, but still funny.

MICHAEL GRAHAM: Plastic ban hypocrisy is in the bag for woke Left.
“And yet Mayor Marty is leaving the ban largely in place, and he can’t wait to bring it back.
Why? Because Boston’s liberal, $500K-condo crowd doesn’t care about the environment. They care about looking like they care about the environment. Plastic shopping bags? How gauche! Besides, they clash with the reusable coffee mug I got from an indigenous craftsman during an ecotourism trip to Guatemala!
Oh, forgot to mention: Starbucks and Dunkin’ aren’t taking those anymore, either.
The Left has long shown symptoms of skewed thinking — and it doesn’t look like they’re eager for a cure.”
Tom Wolfe originally wrote “The Great Relearning” in 1987. We’re getting it good and hard this year.

Update:
I guess we are almost in it now.
My sister just told me (and she is in a position to know) that almost all of Buffalo's hospital beds are full, and they are being told that "if they don't need 02 (oxygen) to make arrangements for them at home.
Stay safe everyone.

Tibsy -- "So weird that people are not behaving like my insulting straw man of them would assume."
The Tea Party of course, was not anti-disaster relief.
It was against exploiting disaster to redistribute tax money to unrelated pork projects ...
which is why all the former Tea Partiers were disgusted with Pelosi’s bill.
And why are they "former" ?
let's ask the IRS.

CHINESE MEDIA CAUGHT ERASING HISTORY AND ‘WUHAN VIRUS’ FROM REPORTS:
China’s Global Times changes ‘Wuhan pneumonia’ to ‘novel coronavirus-related pneumonia’ in January article.
Unexpectedly.

Tibsy likes to live in the past almost as much as he loves lying, so maybe it’s understandable why he doesn’t seem to know the difference between what was going on during the Tea Party movement and what’s going on now: a global pandemic.
What if someone told you there is a public health emergency?
Would that be news to you?
Reimbursing viable business the state forced to close is qualitatively different from bailing out companies that made ***** investments and got bit in the ass.
Yeah, this is exactly the spending the Tea Party was upset about
Who would have thought people who object to high taxation might want their tax money back when times are tough.
Almost like they're consistent and not a hack, unlike you.

WELL, YES:
“We have to accept that the spread of novel coronavirus is one of the negative consequences of globalization and the global mobility of people it brings with it.”

The US’s COVID-19 Death Rate Is Far Below the Rates in Italy and Spain.
I wouldn’t get too excited about this. My guess is that it’s a combination of
(1) Lag, since the disease got here later thanks to the early travel ban with China, and people usually don’t die until three or four weeks after they’re infected;
and (2) the US having more ICU beds per capita, so that it will take us longer to hit the saturation threshold above which the mortality rate goes way up
(I think this is the big difference, actually). I’d love to be wrong, but I think that’s what’s going on.
