Please see my earlier posting for information on a communication disruption expected tomorrow.
Coronavirus
As near as I can tell, there is little real news about coronavirus today, except that 1) it’s all going to hell,[1] pretty much as anticipated;[2] 2) the capitalists are having a meltdown; and 3) Donald Trump banned some travel from Europe for thirty days.[3] It’s all brain dead, especially the delusional raging narcissist-in-chief.[4] Pull the plug.
