Panic has been oversold in the media right now. If you have high risk factors, then self-quarantine or limit your exposure to the public.
Following are common sense recommendations to reduce your chances of contracting COVID-19. These are simple precautions that can be taken to mitigate any potential exposure.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics released the February jobs report last week that showed 273,000 jobs added in February. This shattered the experts’ predictions that were expecting 175,000. At the same time the BLS updated January and Decembers numbers to reflect 85,000 more jobs than previously reported.
These revisions are an interesting sidelight of the business of reporting labor numbers. The initial numbers due reflect some incompleteness in the reporting so the updates are always instructive. During the Obama administration there were updates on both sides of the ledger. That is, a few months saw increases. Most saw decreases. During the Trump administration the updates have always shown underreporting during the initial release of the numbers. I wonder why that is.
A good and somewhat humorous talk on personal responsibility by Mike Huckabee.
Most of the left has been driven insane by President Trump’s election. As many people are aware, PDJT’s ongoing successes has created a new mental condition known as Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). TDS is the acute onset of mental derangement in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies and the presidency of Donald John Trump. TDS makes it extremely difficult for a person afflicted to act in the manner of a normal, rational person.
Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Senate Minority Leader, has now demonstrated to the entire world that he is afflicted with this mental condition. Schumer has lost any sense of good judgment. On Wednesday outside the Supreme Court at a rally in favor of murdering unborn children, Schumer was reduced to shouting out threats against the justices of the Supreme Court. How can this be the action of a normal, rational person? Has Chuck Schumer lost his mind? You be the judge.
Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden appear to be well on their way to providing America with the possibility of watching a circus unfold in Milwaukee this summer. The possibility of a brokered convention is rising. And it may be a lot worse than that. Bernie Bros are threatening to burn the city if Sanders does not get the nomination.
The anti-religious nature of the left was exposed by then Senator Obama during his 2008 campaign when he referred to many in middle America as “bitter clingers.” In those days it was directed at people who were Christian, who believed in Jesus Christ and the Bible. During his Presidency President Obama occasionally spoke of “the right to worship” but consistently moved against the free exercise of religion by Christians as defined in our Bill of Rights.
Perhaps the most glaring examples of this were the efforts by the Obama administration to force medical personnel to participate in the murdering of unborn children against their conscience. After the passage of Obamacare the Obama DOJ took several organizations to court to force them to fund coverage for such atrocities.
Once again, the bigotry of the Democrats towards people who believe in Jesus Christ raised its ugly head last week. PDJT has tasked VP Mike Pence to lead a task force on combatting the coronavirus (COVID-19) in this country. Pence held a meeting in the situation room at the White House that was reported to be quite productive. A picture emerged from the meeting showing the members of the task force with their heads bowed in prayer asking for God’s help at the start of the meeting.
The New England Journal of Medicine has published an editorial on Friday updating information about COVID-19. In their editorial the authors point out that the virus is structurally similar to the one that caused the SARS outbreak in 2002-2003.
While the reported mortality rate has been between 2% and 3%, the facts emerging suggest that a significant number of people may contract the illness without major symptoms. Certainly in some it may present itself as little more than a mild case of the sniffles. The underlying data suggest that the symptoms vary, and fewer than one in six of the cases reported were “severe.”
So, many cases of the illness may go unreported. It may turn out that this is little more than a severe case of seasonal influenza. Those with weak immune systems may be particularly at risk of serious illness. However, most cases will not be severe.
