Wuhan Coronavirus Tag

Last month, I wrote about how the cancellation of "elective" surgeries, cancer screenings, and other important and often life-saving healthcare services is impacting the U.S. healthcare system. The trend has continued downward since then, with more healthcare professionals losing their jobs, their practices, and their livelihoods.  Additionally, the harmful impact on their now-former patients is, at this point, immeasurable.

The Wuhan coronavirus pandemic continues its devastation on the American economy as 2.4 Americans filed unemployment claims last week. Fortunately, the number continues to decline after it hit its peak a few weeks ago. The Labor Department revised last week's number down by 294,000 due to a clerical error from Connecticut.

Earlier today I blogged that the Illinois State Police would not take a reasonable approach to that state's tyrannical governor. Looks like Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has the Michigan State Police on a short leash because they swarmed the protest Operation Haircut and issued three citations for disorderly conduct. Disorderly conduct for giving a haircut. Outside. On a nice day.

Now that so many people are working from home under quarantine, holding virtual meetings on the internet has become the norm. One professor at Michigan State University wants people to be careful to avoid 'unconscious bias' during such events. This is an example of how progressive culture finds its way into our lives, no matter what is happening.
