This will be the biggest, most consequential event in human history since The Big One. Someday there'll be a HS history textbook with WWII in one paragraph and Covid-19 in the next, and school boards will regard it as a forgivable condensation.

(The Cuban Missile Crisis was a nightmare, but there wasn't much actual shootin'.)

Eh…

How's your neighborhood?

Hmm? Me? No, man, I'm good… Not emotional over here or anything. There's been rain in L.A. for three days, and it's really kicked off the pollen.…

Hard to believe that the nation which silenced the doctor who tried to sound the alarm about the virus in December (and who would shortly die from it) would ever tell lies, but here we are.

We have responded:

"The State Department summoned the Chinese ambassador to express its displeasure."

Am told there were no threats, just “frank diplomatic discourse.”

They aren't growing up:

“Two California companies, CrowdStrike and FireEye, and the Israeli company Check Point confirmed this week that the Chinese groups were sending out coronavirus-themed documents loaded with malware.”

East bound and down!
