Just Ten Observations

1.  It's odd....virtually 90-percent of the news folks are hyped up and all chatty about the worst-possible scenario, and they repeat this over and over.  You might as well get all chatty and suggest that the Hoover Dam could collapse tomorrow and wipe out 10,000 Democrats downstream, or that a study reveals that Meth kills all users within ten years of day one, or that it's possible that quarterback Tom Brady might go transgender and win the Super Bowl with his new team.

2.  Gun sales in the middle of this chaos has almost doubled.  In various areas, the gun shops are barely able to keep up with customer traffic.  All in fear of some chaos from the virus?  Really?

3.  If you were stupid enough in early March to board a cruise boat for a four-week cruise....the odds are that you will still be on the boat in early May, and maybe even into early June.  You think that food choices will remain the same or the open-bar deal will stay at the same level....get real.

4.  Some liquor shops are reporting sales 50-percent higher than normal.  So are these folks just sitting on the patio, and guzzling Whiskey Sours.....hour by hour?

5.  Eight out of ten Americans are watching the Trump news conferences.  It doesn't matter if CNN and MSNBC refuse to carry it.....YouTube and the alternate site will do it.

6.  What happened after the disastrous Spanish Flu era (1917-1919)?  The 1920s were a BOOM-period....way beyond the belief of most economical experts.

7.  If you live in Israel and leave your house.....you wear a mask.  Failure?  Cops come looking for you. 

8.  Some kids allegedly (probably more of a rumor) are getting smarter at home than what school would have offered.  It begs questions, and probably is fake news.

9.  The CDC admitted that roughly one in four people don't show much of anything for symptoms.  They can't explain why.  Something in the DNA...the amount of booze they consume.....the daily bacon for breakfast.....unfiltered smokes?  It would seem that you'd go hire forty PhD dudes and get this answered in a hurry.

10.  I'll predict NO real Democratic Convention....just a Skype-situation.  A month after that...Joe Biden steps to the side, and the VP (either Hillary or Stacey Abrams) moves up to compete against Trump.  One-third of all Democrats will just start laughing....ordering up booze and beer, and staging a no-vote rebellion against the Democratic Party in November.  Joe Biden passes away in late 2022 from Alzheimer's.  People will ask for years.....how the Party could stand there and allow this to happen.
