March 16, 2020

The media’s criticisms of Trump never address the important caveat: Compared to what? Is it fair to compare Trump’s response to coronavirus with Obama’s response to swine flu? You can be the judge of fair. Fair is always an unreasonable and subjective thing. So let’s do the exercise.

People Who’ve Recovered from Coronavirus Speak: Calm Down, It’s Just the Flu

March 14, 2020 Steve MacDonald

“The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy itself has outsold the Encyclopedia Galactica because it is slightly cheaper, and because it has the words ‘DON’T PANIC’ in large, friendly letters on the cover.” Yes, this also applies to the Coronavirus. Just ask someone who has had it and lived!
