Nearly everything I wrote last week was about the coronavirus, but there are a few non-plague bright spots in there. Don't get used to it: we'll be talking of little else as the sniveling halfwits that run the US government dig out their oft-crumpled, sweat-stained police-state wishlists, gibbering and squealing at this latest Crisis which shall not be allowed to go to Waste. Please read my updated primer on what the coronavirus is (the original, from February, remains available on this site and here). A good measure to keep in mind when evaluating the firehose of new information that will be coming at you in the next few weeks is "who benefits?" If someone can profit off your panic, they probably are. If someone else can make you clamor for a police-state crackdown, they definitely are.
