Amid the throes of an international medical emergency – a pandemic – we find ourselves mired in political poop.
Not being a medical doctor, information gathered indicates corona virus is relatively common, and usually appears in the form of a cold or the flu. In some cases, this virus can be direr because of the frailty of its infected individuals.
Especially young and old members of society are sometimes too fragile to fight off the effects of these viruses, which can result in fatalities.

Evidently, COVID-19 is somewhat unique in that it is thought to be able to morph, of course that is not a given.
Neither is the “fact” that it is deadly in all instances. It is also thought to be spread by casual contact, but maybe not. It can be prevented by regular hand-washing, perhaps. Epidemic? Not sure.
The world simply doesn’t know because it is much too soon to sort through the copious amounts of information being generated – both true and otherwise.
Television “news” broadcasts suggest buying N95 masks – the kind the world witnessed Michael Jackson parade around in. They also suggest thoroughly washing hands, sneezing into your elbow, and avoiding overly crowded public spaces, as ways to prevent the contraction of corona virus.
Once again, no one really knows if this information is valid or simply ways of calming the masses of potential victims.

He also tried to better control the southern border to keep out unknown trespassers from entering without the benefit of country of origin information or medical tests. Again, he was tagged as insensitive and legally challenged by the self-anointed nitwits in the press.
Now, we are in the course of trying to identify and stem the tide of the corona virus against the cheering and encouragement of killing more Americans, for which Democrats are prayerful.
Speaking of which, both Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are making the rounds with their usual pious spiels about how President Trump was asleep at the wheel, and totally divorced from the goings-on in his own country, to take the necessary steps to combat corona virus.
Alas, they are once again wrong. Dead wrong, in fact. They are seizing on a national health issue to further their own smarmy political gains at the expense of Americans like you and me.

But back to those aforementioned N95 masks. They are still available through hardware stores, home improvement centers, and on-line. Unfortunately, they are very, very pricey. These disposable paper masks are bordering on $20 each; their non-emergency price is 85 cents.
That is called price gouging. This is the same thing that happens during hurricanes. Plywood, tarps, generators, and fuel, skyrocket as supplies are limited, and demand is high.
People are now panicking for these masks that don’t protect you, rather they protect others from the infected you.
Still, the high minded are chastising merchants for exercising free-trade to make prices affordable for the average person in order to benefit all in society.
Which makes me wonder why, if solar panels and windmills are so beneficial to society and the threat of climate change – which renowned scientists like Leonardo DiCaprio and Bill Nye and AOC contend – are of paramount importance to all, are not forced to be sold at more affordable prices?
It’s that “common sense” stuff that our half-baked politicians keep stuffing down our throats as hard and fast science that is actually more political poop.
