Wuhan Coronavirus Tag

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.

The repressive, often petty and irrational, lockdown measures implemented in many states and localities has caused a backlash that grows daily. Increasingly, we see hairdressers, restaurants, gyms, and other small businesses saying they are willing to risk arrest in order to reopen and save their businesses.

President Donald Trump told WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus that if the organization does not make necessary changes, especially when it comes to China, he will permanently withdraw funding and "reconsider" America's membership. Trump suspended funding to WHO in late April, pending an investigation of how the organization responded to the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak.

Today's update starts with some disturbing news for residents of New York City. Like, New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio has read the reports of beaches across the country, from California to Virginia, being visited by quarantine-weary citizens. Furthermore, there are stories that New York City's residents are partying like its Mardi Gras in some sections of the city.
