1. Should you stay in a virus-affected area or leave?
Well....if you are asking, it's basically too late.
2. Where should I go, with the virus all around?
Alaska. Take the 1,200-mile Alaska Highway. Take along a six-month supply of food.
3. Is Joe Biden suffering dementia?
In Alabama, you wouldn't declare Joe suffering until you drove up and found him on the porch with sixteen cases of Gatorade, and just wearing his underwear. Joe has a long way to go, in my humble opinion.
4. What should one do with relatives with TDS (Trump-Derangement-Syndrome)?
Pray for them, and ask your Catholic associates if there is an exorcism for demons like this.
5. Is it true that giant Chinese hornets are coming into the US and can kill you with one sting?
If you are allergic to stings anyway.....this is bigger deal to worry about. However, because their size (2 inches), you can probably see them from 30 feet away.
6. If Joe Biden is just plain dropped at the convention and Governor Cuomo is selected, what does it really say about the sanity of conducting a primary?
You might as well dump primaries in general....have some vote in your state to pick delegates only, and send them off to the convention to pick some guy of thin air. You'd add to the excitement, with a clock ticking down from Monday at 8 AM and pressuring the delegates to select someone by 11 PM Wednesday. Failure? You allow the biggest 21 Democrats in status to just pick their choice.
7. Is there really a problem with dead folks laying in storage and no burials being conducted in NY City?
Well....here's the thing. Funerals are a detailed operation in NY City, and it might take four weeks to line up all the guests....write up something positive to say about the guy, and arrange for a bar-party after the funeral. Add in the fact that probably one-third of the dead folks had ill relations with their relatives, and legal battles are being fought over who plans and executes the funerals. As bad as funeral planning can be in the south.....NY City would be ten times as hard to conduct.
8. The Pope says that the virus is a curse from God over environmental damage. Any truth to this?
You might as well say tiny demons pass the virus around, and Satan personally writes your name on the back of each Corona particle. Again, ask your Catholic associates about exorcisms for corona demons.
9. Should one stay home and away from church on Sundays?
You can just as easily pass the Bible around on the patio.....read some Old Testament, discuss moral judgement, and pass a pitcher of ice tea around. Pray for those afflicted, and those suffering stress. It wouldn't hurt to pray for Joe Biden (I wouldn't pray over Hunter).
10. How soon will things 'pick-up'?
This is a tricky question. Putting on my Trump-hat....I'd say that in two weeks....you will detect people acting normal and red-state governors taking down 'bans'. In those states, things will take slowly off (don't anticipate trips to Vegas or folks buying new cars). Blue states? They will be delayed six weeks as those governors try to figure out a way to make folks suffer a little bit extra.
11. Are blacks more affected by Corona?
Statistically, yes. If you asked if most black males over the age of 18 are living great healthy lifestyles.....the statistics for the past forty years would say 'NO'. That might explain part of this problem now.
12. Is Doctor 'Doom' on the Trump-team a problem?
No. You need a Doctor 'Doom' around.....to always spell out the worst case scenario. It would be a problem if you had a President 'Doom' saying the same crap.
13. Is this a big deal that anti-Trump Republicans are endorsing Joe Biden?
At this point, if you were a anti-Trump Republican.....it's painfully obvious that you got some freaky psychological problem and need a couple of weeks in a rehab center.
14. Did the New York City Coronavirus come from Europe?
Evidence (the dna business) says yes. Other obvious things would suggest that the fashion crew from NY City went to Milan, Italy in late January to mid-Feb, and probably brought it back....infecting folks at parties, and on the subway system. You could have had six models arrive back.....do a line of cocaine each with twelve other folks at some NY party, and jump-started the whole thing.
15. Is it true that a South Korean study is showing 'cured' Coronavirus folks are taking multiple tests after being 'cured' and some tests say positive and some say negative?
Yeah. Basically, no one is answering this scenario or offering any ideas. You can imagine the chaos this is creating for South Korean couples.
16. Is it true that more than 500 Iranians drank pure alcohol and died from that, instead of the virus?
Well....some rumor started up if you drank enough alcohol....it'd kill the virus. No one clearly said the amount and it sounds like these were folks (mostly guys) consuming more than quart (at 37-percent, if it were Gin). Luckily this is Iran and not the US....because here, the death certificate would have said dead by Corona.
Please note, alcohol will accomplish a lot of things but getting rid of the virus isn't one of them.
17. Does all of this make you wonder how western civilization survived the Black Plague?
Yeah, you could wonder about that. Remember, we didn't even have a Doctor Doom, Nancy Pelosi, CNN, or a Donald Trump in those days.
18. The story is that the White House will start forcing journalists who sit in the President's conference room to be Corona tested.....what will likely happen?
Fate will arrive one day, when all 88 journalists are tested, and 87 fail.....leaving just Jim Acosta of CNN as the lone journalist in the room....mostly grinning as he gets the President for sixty minutes of a chat.
19. Is it true that Americans actually had an election in the Civil War, and voted while in the conflict?
Yeah, 27 states carried out the 1864 election (Louisiana too). Four-million Americans voted. From the 1868 election....three states were NOT allowed to vote (Texas, Virginia and Mississippi).
20. Is there any evidence that more men die than women with Corona?
Well...yeah....if you are under age 65, it's a 80-percent chance on death for men (20-percent for women). Some women suggest its bad habits, bad hygiene, and bad health. Guys mostly suggest they drink more because of the women talking about their bad habits and hygiene.

CNN Story
I noticed that CNN's Brian Stelter spoke up and said all of the networks ought to change how they pump-out Trump's Coronavirus briefings. He wants the whole thing....fact-checked.
I sat there and kinda wondered.....what exactly has that five-man crew of CNN (almost every hour now) been doing for the past three years? Well....their version of fact-checking.
So is he suggesting a second crew be brought on....to fact-check the CNN fact-checkers?
If anything, it seems like CNN is hiring up a bunch of folks, and their only purpose in life is to either criticize Trump or fact-check against Trump. What happens after Trump is out? You could probably dump 40-percent of the CNN payroll.

My 'Reverse' Idea on Voting
Lets start a new practice in the US. Instead of a poll-tax.....a poll-pay-out ($250), for each adult who votes.
The trick? Well, to get the 'voucher', you'd present an ID to show who you are at the polling site.
The free-money? It'd come from the wonderful federal government who just throws money out....left and right....anyway.
If you show up and don't want to show the ID....fine, no poll-pay-out and we just note your name on the non-pay list. A month down the line, if questions arise....your non-ID folks get on a special list of people to review and see if they voted twice or are non-citizens.

The Three Events That Jump-Started Corona in America
Sorry if you were thinking it was all Trump's fault....but you might want to sit down and think about the three:
1. New Orleans Mardi Gras was allowed to continue on. That was a serious blunder.
2. Spring-break in Florida was allowed to continue on. That was a serious blunder.
3. NY City saying 'no big deal' back in Feb, and suggesting that mass transit by subway was not a problem. The enclosed cars simply helped to spread the virus around the whole city.
If those three events had been attended to.....our virus-count right now would be one-quarter of what the numbers are. In each case, a mayor or governor could have done something, but failed.
If March Madness had been allowed? Oh, we'd have 20-percent more victims on the board. If baseball had opened up on schedule, toss on another 20-percent.

What I Predict
Somewhere in the 1860s to 1880s....as Europeans started to arrive and settle out on the great plains of America....a new term was created: 'Prairie Madness'.
No one can say what journalist or intellectual started the phrase, but it generally meant that the isolation, living conditions, extreme weather and 'nothingness' had your emotions bottled up.
Depression would start up, and alcohol consumption increased.
I expect toward the end of April, that COVID-madness will be coined by some journalist. A dozen-odd experts will appear on CNN to say they are experts on the topic, and spend hours describing the conditions. Some people will go then and spend years in therapy....trying to get over the disease.
Then along the way, someone over at Fox News will coin the phrase China-virus madness, and some guy at NPR will coin the phrase Corona-madness.

This Baseball Plan
This week, there's chatter over the plan put out there for major league baseball. Basically, all 30 clubs would be sent to Phoenix and they'd play in eleven fields around the city.....staying in local hotels the whole summer, and avoid contact with fans (yep, no fans allowed in the parks).
Only people in the stadium? The teams, coaches, administrative staff, telecast crowd and umpires.
The day would be planned out with not only double-headers, but back-to-back games with teams A/B, followed by teams C/D.
Some folks suggest that they'd make up for the lost 35-odd games by adding a dozen double-headers to the schedule, with some of these parks having three games in a single day.
The public? No one is saying much. It's a bit of a shock.

Advice for White House 'Correspondents'
1. If you get picked to ask a question, and you start off a long-winded 150-word 'statement' (not the question itself) and then reach the 12-word question itself....the people at home now grasp what you attempted to accomplish. It's like that stupid Vegas magic act that was supposed to be ultra super-secret, and they figured out that the 'mechanism'. So cut the 'statement' and just ask the stupid question.
2. When you utter the phrase....'some scientist said' or 'a expert said'....then you fail to mention the guy's name, you've just proven the fact that you didn't do your homework. All the President has to do is ask you.....who is the scientist or expert? Then you look extremely foolish because you don't have the name.
3. Thinking that you 'train' the President and teach him leadership qualities? You, a mere journalist....having leadership or management qualities? Oh please, what a joke.
4. Prepare yourself for this.....a large segment of the nation now watches the White House 'product' in its entirety. So if you look super-foolish, and it used to be that the network would just that delete that stupidity out....well, the rest of us see the whole segment and just laughing. So you might to be at the top form of your game.
5. Asking a very detailed question, using the phrase 'worst-case' scenario....just leads the President to utter the response that he's working with the average to best case scenario. Your attempt to lead to the proper answer to make your people happy....failed miserably.
6. Finally, if you come off looking like you attempted to trip up the President....you ought to be barred from the next couple of conferences. No one likes that type of behavior in a chaotic crisis period.
