monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Just for the record, Oralloy makes the same inane defense of Donald Trump - that no one "can demonstrate" anything he lies about or is wrong about.

Yeah, he as some high grade delusions going on.

He doesn't communicate, he just spouts polemic--effectively, right good, left evil.

I was listening to the quotes by Trump thisweekend. He seems to see the covid epidemic as something that affects his re-election campaign and thats all.

Is he a complete dick or what??

It can't be any worse than all the progressives celebrating the virus because they hope that it will harm his reelection.

Ramirez is certainly no left leaning cartoonist.

Coronavirus going to hit its peak and start falling sooner than you think

China is the origin of the virus and still accounts for over 80 percent of cases and deaths. But its cases peaked and began ­declining more than a month ago, according to data presented by the Canadian epidemiologist who spearheaded the World Health Organization’s coronavirus mission to China. Fewer than 200 new cases are reported daily, down from a peak of 4,000.

Subsequent countries will follow this same pattern, in what’s called Farr’s Law. First formulated in 1840 and ignored in ­every epidemic hysteria since, the law states that epidemics tend to rise and fall in a roughly symmetrical pattern or bell-shaped curve. AIDS, SARS, Ebola — they all followed that pattern. So does seasonal flu each year.

Clearly, flu is vastly more contagious than the new coronavirus, as the WHO has noted. Consider that the first known coronavirus cases date back to early December, and since then, the virus has ­afflicted fewer people in total than flu does in a few days. Oh, and why are there no flu quarantines? Because it’s so contagious, it would be impossible.

As for death rates, as I first noted in these pages on Jan. 24, you can’t employ simple math — as everyone is doing — and look at deaths versus cases because those are ­reported cases. With both flu and assuredly with coronavirus, the great majority of those infected have symptoms so mild — if any — that they don’t seek medical attention and don’t get counted in the caseload.

You can't demonstrate a single instance of progressives celebrating the coronavirus.
