Morning Coffee

Oregon veteran, 95, beats coronavirus: ‘I survived Guam, I can get through this bulls–t’
"But Kelly — who is known to be “tough as nails,” according to his granddaughter — bunkered down with plenty of classic movies and copious amounts of water and rest.

“We’re going just fine here,” Kelly told the newspaper. “We’re toughing it out. I’ve got two great-grandsons to keep me busy. I’ve been very fortunate.”

In a Facebook post earlier this month, Ayers-Etherington revealed her grandfather’s diagnosis but added he was “kicking it in the butt” despite a litany of pre-existing medical conditions.

“In his words, ‘I survived the foxholes of Guam, I can get through this [coronavirus] bull—-,'” she wrote. “He has strong mental resolve. He has seen tough times and knows how to get through them.”"

Why Are the Airlines Still Flying Out of New York?
"But do you know what the federal government is allowed to do — and, indeed, what the federal government already does? Regulate commercial air travel. Why is it not doing so here?"
This is from the never-Trump National Review, so it's pretty shallow on perspective. You know who else can shut down flights? New York's communist Trump-hating mayor, Bill De Blasio. The Port Authority of New York City operates JFK and LaGuardia. Why won't you close the airports, Mr Mayor?

Two weeks ago, on March 15, after massive public outcry and demands by the teachers union, De Blasio reluctantly closed New York City's government schools. That delay helped spread the virus to make NYC the epicenter of contagion in the USA. Why did you wait so long, Mr. Mayor?

MTA boss says CDC coronavirus guidance against face masks fails agency’s front-line workers
"“We’re no longer taking the advice of the CDC and the World Health Organization,” Metropolitan Transportation Authority chairman Pat Foye said on MSNBC Tuesday. “We have decided not to take that advice going back to last week. We’re distributing north of 75,000 masks to our front line workers. That number will grow.”"
That would be New York City's Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Why won't you close the MTA, Mr. Mayor?

Stocks Sink to End Worst Quarter Since 2008
"The declines in March marked the end of the longest bull market on record, defined as a period of generally rising stocks without a 20 percent drop from the 12-month high. The decline into bear market territory was the swiftest on record in decades. But this bear market ended almost as swiftly as it began when stocks rallied on news that Washington, D.C. had reached a deal on an economic rescue package."
Decades of cheap Chinese goods are too expensive for their insidious coupling with world trade to continue.

FBI: Chinese Biologist Carrying Viable SARS, MERS Viruses Stopped at Detroit Airport in 2018
"The report, which came out more than two months before the World Health Organization learned of a cluster of pneumonia cases in Wuhan that turned out to be COVID-19, appears to be part of a larger FBI concern about China’s involvement with scientific research in the U.S. While the report refers broadly to foreign researchers, all three cases cited involve Chinese nationals."
Communist China is not our friend.

The Military Sealift Command hospital ship USNS Comfort arrives in New York City in support of the nation’s COVID-19/Wuhan virus response efforts.

In 2009, Obama refused to close US-Mexico border after CDC, WHO issued H1N1 pandemic alert
"At this point they have not recommended a border closing.  From their perspective it would be akin to closing the barn door after the horses are out, because we already have cases here in the United States."

Chicken Little Obama Frets About Trump's 'Climate Denial' Amid Coronavirus Pandemic
You peevish, inept little man. Go away.

LIKE THE UN, THE WHO IS ABOUT AS HELPFUL TO US AS AN ACCORDION IN A BATTLE FIELD.
Not the rock n roll band, the world health organization.

CNN’s Chris Cuomo Tests Positive for COVID-19
Did he, really? Cuomo is a known liar and propagandist. I will treat this as fake until he publicly presents documented proof that it's not fake.
