The media and doomsayers aren't gonna like this

Very interesting take by economist Stephen Leeb, and he brings a lot of facts here. Some countries, South Korea, Germany and Israel are having a lot of success fighting the virus.

They used to refer to viruses by where they originated from.

Snowflake Flu.

I like it.

Or maybe Twitter-Bug.

Calling it a day now - that chili is not going to eat itself.
And my Corona has been in the fridge for 14 days, isolated way in the back corner.

Unfortunately, the media did the same thing during the Vietnam War.....Chet Huntley used to give the number of US troops wounded, David Brinkley would give the number of those killed...

Hated it then, hate it now.
