These questions must be asked about how our nation should handle COVID-19. Public policymakers need to give us answers. - TheBlaze:
However, public policy requires a broader set of questions and considerations because it has sweeping implications. This is why our Constitution makes the president the CEO of America, and not the surgeon general.
Since shows like mine began doing the job the White House press corps is supposed to do, by asking skeptical questions to get real answers for the public rather than play China PR flack, many have asked me to compare and contrast an average flu season with the current pandemic. People are seeking some perspective on a virus most of them didn't know about just a few weeks ago, but is radically changing their lives now.

Watch This Epic Video Montage of Media Repeatedly Saying "Wuhan Coronavirus" - Before it was Considered Racist... Because Orange Man Bad:
"The fraudstream media is now badgering President Trump for using the phrase “Chinese Coronavirus” or “Wuhan Coronavirus” when referring to a virus that originated in… China.
But just a couple months ago, everyone in the media was referring to the outbreak, which originated in Wuhan, as the “Wuhan Coronavirus.”
But now it’s racist to say “Chinese Coronavirus” because it’s the phrase being used by President Trump…and…you know, orange man bad.
Media Research Center put together an epic video montage of the same media, who now claims it’s racist to say “Wuhan Coronavirus,” using that exact same phrase.

Steve Scalise (R-LA), in a Tuesday appearance on Breitbart News Daily, said Democrats are “taking a wrecking ball to Main Street America” by pushing Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) relief package filled with “liberal wish list” items unrelated to the crisis at hand and demanded Democrats to throw her bill in the trash and provide relief to Americans “today.”

"...Even the New York Times can’t conceal this churlishness.
...But it’s election year, and deranged Democrats are desperate.
Well guess what?
Now the media is saying that they should stop covering Trump’s daily briefings about the COVID-19 crisis.
"...Even the New York Times can’t conceal this churlishness.
Note their headline:
...In voting to block action, Democrats risked a political backlash if they are seen as obstructing progress on a measure that is widely regarded as crucial to aid desperate Americans and buttress a flagging economy.
When you’ve lost the New York Times . . .
So why did Senate Democrats do this?
My hunch is that they are in a panic about the fact that Trump’s approval ratings are rising at the moment, and they are desperate to keep Trump from having a “win” on policy......But it’s election year, and deranged Democrats are desperate.
Charming people.
Chaser: Remember a few months ago when the media was complaining that Trump’s media team stopped holding daily press briefings that journalists could use as a backdrop to preen? Well guess what?
Now the media is saying that they should stop covering Trump’s daily briefings about the COVID-19 crisis.
From the Washington Post’s “media columnist”:
More and more each day, President Trump is using his daily briefings as a substitute for the campaign rallies that have been forced into extinction by the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Media translation: Trump’s press briefings are working with the public.
We have to stop that..."

Why Most Published Research Findings Are False
Why Most Published Research Findings Are False
Abstract--Summary
Abstract--Summary
"There is increasing concern that most current published research findings are false.
The probability that a research claim is true may depend on study power and bias, the number of other studies on the same question, and, importantly, the ratio of true to no relationships among the relationships probed in each scientific field.
In this framework, a research finding is less likely to be true when the studies conducted in a field are smaller...
Simulations show that for most study designs and settings, it is more likely for a research claim to be false than true...
In this essay, I discuss the implications of these problems for the conduct and interpretation of research..."

"THIS POST IS A CRITICAL REVIEW OF AN ARTICLE IN THE SMITHSONIAN MAGAZINE ON OCEAN ACIDIFICATION WITH FOSSIL FUEL EMISSIONS AND ITS IMPACT ON CORAL REEFS DESCRIBED AS “RAPID INCREASE IN OCEAN ACIDITY PUTS CRUSTOSE CORALLINE ALGAE IN A GROWTH PREDICAMENT” [LINK]
"THIS POST IS A CRITICAL REVIEW OF AN ARTICLE IN THE SMITHSONIAN MAGAZINE ON OCEAN ACIDIFICATION WITH FOSSIL FUEL EMISSIONS AND ITS IMPACT ON CORAL REEFS DESCRIBED AS “RAPID INCREASE IN OCEAN ACIDITY PUTS CRUSTOSE CORALLINE ALGAE IN A GROWTH PREDICAMENT” [LINK]
PART-1: WHAT THE ARTICLE SAYS
"Ocean acidification is a chemistry experiment with our ocean that will profoundly alter global marine ecosystems as seawater absorbs carbon dioxide from our fossil fuel emissions...
PART-2: CRITICAL COMMENTARY
- The argument put forth, that the observed rise in oceanic inorganic carbon concentration is driven by fossil fuel emissions, derives from the observation that rising oceanic inorganic carbon concentration and falling oceanic pH is observed during a time of fossil fuel emissions.
- However, this correspondence does not establish causation as the many comical examples of spurious correlations collected by Tyler Vigen clearly show [LINK] ...
- That a once venerable scientific publication like The Smithsonian would overlook these relevant data to make a climate change case against fossil fuel emissions is more evidence of a tragic pattern in the scientific literature where the the scientific method and the principles of objective scientific inquiry are apparently less important than the need to sell a climate change agenda against fossil fuel emissions.
- Sadly, the Smithsonian is not the only example of this rot in science magazines and in science reporting. It is a trend that is changing once trusted publications into climate whores such that they are no longer seekers of truth but seekers of ways to sell anti fossil fuel activism by scaring people with the imagined horrors of climate change – such as ocean acidification with fossil fuel emissions..."

The Nuclear Option: Amid Pandemic, America Held Hostage by China
The Nuclear Option: Amid Pandemic, America Held Hostage by China:
Far more concerning is how deeply dependent American politicians have allowed our country to become on China.
After decades of appeasement, America sits hostage to China for so much manufacturing of vital goods, including the very types of drugs required to protect American citizens from the crazy infectious diseases that spring from China’s dirty “wet markets” and wildlife trade.
Hopefully, this current Chinese infection passes in short order and Americans can get back to their normal, healthy lives.

And yet, there was no call to "flatten the curve" during those spikes to save an overwhelmed medical system.
Furthermore, CDC estimated 65 million Americans nationwide were afflicted with the flu during the 2018-19 flu season.
"Here is the official CDC report on last year's flu season.
..."Nationally, mortality attributed to pneumonia and influenza peaked two times at 7.7% during the weeks ending February 23rd and March 16th."
What this means is during those time periods last year, 7.7% of the people who contracted pneumonia and the flu ended up tragically dying.
And that was with precautions we don't have yet for COVID-19 — vaccines, public awareness, etc.
And yet, there was no call to "flatten the curve" during those spikes to save an overwhelmed medical system.
...By comparison, as of Sunday at 6 p.m. ET, the current U.S. death rate from COVID-19 was 414 deaths out of 32,356 cases reported, or 1.27% of those whom we've confirmed have it so far have sadly perished.
Of course, given the limited testing it's likely many more Americans than this currently have been exposed.
And 50% of those 414 deaths were from two states alone (Washington & New York).,,
