A video posted to twitter shows three people, including one who appears to be a child, licking the glass coverings and metal grilles at religious shrines in Qom and Mashhad.
The Government Has Been Flying Blind in Its Coronavirus Response
The government was ill-prepared for this outbreak and then frittered away what time they had to get ready.
The stock markets will rise. The current state of fear will subside. But Bernie Sanders and the communist virus are now front and center, and President Trump has one hell of a story to tell the American people. It’s a powerful story. It will be a powerful punch. And they’ll still never see it coming. Just watch.
Dr. Drew Pinsky Debunks the Fake Coronavirus News
He’s not a conformist. He goes against the grain, goes against conventional wisdom unabashedly and he did on the coronavirus.

TUESDAY, MARCH 3
A Border Wall Will Help Contain the Coronavirus
If the coronavirus begins to spread in Mexico, we’re going to wish we had secured the border. Suggesting we do so isn’t racist, it’s realistic.
Presidential Leadership on Display with Coronavirus
The Democrats need to stop backseat driving. The President is the one who’s supposed to handle emergencies, and President Trump has got the coronavirus situation completely under control.
Coronavirus Panic Reaches Russia Collusion Hoax Level
It has now equaled the same level of irresponsibility that they had achieved during the Russia collusion hoax and whatever Trump supposedly did on the phone call to Zelensky.
Trump Administration Has Won the First Round Against Coronavirus
Conrad Black: So far, Trump has done better with a strong show of awareness and readiness than the Democrats have with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s asinine allegations of “towering and dangerous incompetence,” and the fatuities about Trump being “anti-science,” and only interested in Wall Street.
Coronavirus Has a Silver Lining
It has exposed the frailty of the Communist Chinese regime, which reportedly is now sending some of the one million Uyghurs they have been holding in concentration camps to factories that have been vacated on account of the virus. No doubt Tom Friedman and other Democratic advocates for the Communist regime will hail this as one more sign of the superiority of autocratic states.
Coronavirus: We Go from Hysteria to Hysteria
The world economy is likely to enter a recession, if not a depression. Unless the coronavirus becomes a worldwide mass killer, it will be fair to say that the hysteria over coronavirus will cause much more suffering than the virus.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4
Hungary Seals Border, Warns Migrant Invasion Could Bring Coronavirus
Hungary has sealed its southern border, warning that many of the migrants currently attempting to break into Greece have traveled through Iran, which is in the midst of an explosive coronavirus outbreak.
The Fed Has Plenty of Ammunition Left for Coronavirus
It’s true that the Fed cannot stop the coronavirus from harming the supply side of the economy. It can’t rescue the travel industry or make up for lost work days. What it can do is prevent a supply-side hit from generating an additional demand-side one.
FRIDAY, MARCH 6
Coronavirus Response Has Been Robust
The Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus outbreak thus far has been robust as the disease that originated in Wuhan, China, spreads across the world.

Coronavirus: A Pandemic of Stupidity Overtakes America

Don’t Panic About Coronavirus Otherwise the Poorest Americans Will Suffer

Is the Opposition Media Cheering Coronavirus On?
The “Chicken Little” tone of the coronavirus coverage is enough to make us wonder if this coverage is just a different approach to the “news” media’s obsession with getting rid of Trump.
After CPAC, We’re All Gonna Die (LOL)
People get sick at CPAC every year. It’s called the “CPAC Plague.” Ten thousand people milling about in recycled air for four days isn’t the healthiest environment. It was inevitable that the virus du jour would make a successful appearance at the event.
Coronavirus Is Also a Border Security Issue
Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX): The pro-open borders crowd in Congress and America’s wealthiest zip codes are quick to point out that there is no verified transmission of the COVID-19 virus as of yet at our border. They are less likely to tell you that more than 1,100 Chinese nationals were apprehended at our northern and southern borders last year, or that it is not unlikely that people from other countries afflicted by the virus are illegally slipping through our border today.
Why Dems and Media Are Backing Off on Blaming Trump for Coronavirus
They’re backing off of it because it’s not becoming the pandemic in this country that they were all expecting.
Dems, Mainstream Media Are Weaponizing Coronavirus
It’s possible that what we are actually dealing with is not so much an apocalyptic plague, as much as it is a political plague. America is reeling from a massive outbreak of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Ghoulish Media and Dems Wish for Wuhan Casualties
American Greatness
Liz Shields: The Democrats and the media but I repeat myself are wishing so hard for the racistly-named (LOL) WuhanFlu to kill Americans so they can seize control of the government in November.

The Media Tries to Foist a “Katrina Moment” on Trump
PJ Media
The “Katrina moment” never quite stuck to any number of President Obama’s missteps from Benghazi to the H1N1 outbreak. That’s what a fawning press will do for a president. Since the outbreak of the coronavirus, the media has been waiting for President Trump to do or say something in order to pin the Hurricane Katrina label on him.

CDC Is the Centers for Damaged Credibility
WND
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control is a bloated federal government agency with a long history of incompetence, fraud, secrecy, mission creep and shady alliances with both social justice causes on the left and private corporations on the big business right…And, yes, many of the scientists who work there are rabidly anti-conservative and anti-Trump.
Coronavirus: “Heck of a Job, Trumpy”
American Conservative
What a disgraceful boob…There is something worse than having a Democratic president appoint judges for four years, and that’s having a man-child in charge of the federal government during a national crisis unprecedented in living memory.

Trump Should Avoid Nodding to Politics on Coronavirus

Conrad Black: In the United States, the antics of the Democratic politicians and media grasping at straws more desperately than ever to try to prevent the long-unthinkable reelection of the president, have exacerbated the problem.

US Doomsday Numbers Just Don’t Add Up
Washington Times
President Trump has taken swift action to cut off the influx of foreigners from countries teeming with infection and on Monday laid out stringent new guidelines to halt the upward curve. Americans appear to be taking the directives seriously, So, time will tell if it all works. But 150 million infected? A million dead? Right now, those numbers just don’t seem to add up.

How Long Will Americans Tolerate Corona-Madness?

Biden’s Unpresidential Coronavirus Rhetoric
American Spectator
His public statements and campaign ads have been exploitative and dishonest.
Ann Coulter
We ought to surround old folks homes with the National Guard and call it a day. It would probably save more lives and wouldn’t destroy the economy. But there’s no time to think about saving lives. The important thing is to stamp out the idea that a virus that originated in China has anything to do with China.
Chinese Regime’s Responsibility for Coronavirus Pandemic

Bloomberg Announces COVID Donation But It’s Less Than 10% of What He Spent on Failed Election

Trump Turns the Tables on the Media on Virus Racism Story
LifeZette
The highly telegenic and alluringly-named Chanel Rion of conservative news outlet One America News Network (OANN) asked the president, “Do you consider the term ‘Chinese food’ racist because it’s food that originates in China or it has Chinese roots?” Score for her, as by that clever line she eviscerated press colleagues in the room who have been pathetically trying to nail the president as a racist because he accurately says the coronavirus began in China.

There’s pattern in liberal media coverage of the virus. At first, the virus was not even as close as bad as the flu — nothing to see here folks, move along.

This is a time for the president to be rising above the fray and to be calling for national unity. He should be focusing press briefings on informing the public about the response to the coronavirus.
