The Friday Link for 3/13/20

Howdy everyone.  This evening the family headed over to Park Tavern for some bowling with friends.  I want to make sure people understand you can still go out in the age of CoronaVirus (as long as you're not sick).  I understand people can be a little skittish, but a place like Park Tavern is being very careful to sanitize regularly, and if you wash your hands like you're supposed to, don't touch your face, and respect personal space, you'll be fine.  And Park Tavern has the best patty melt I've ever had!

Seriously, don't be afraid to go out and have a meal.  It might just save these businesses.

Speaking of CoronaVirus, how about a trip back down memory lane.  In 2014, there was a mighty Ebola scare in the US, even though it was relatively unwarranted.  It was clearly a story being hyped up to scare people during election season.  How can I say that?  The day after the election, Ebola completely disappeared from the news landscape.  I'm dead serious!  Ebola one day was 20 minutes of a 30 minute news cast, and the next it was no where to be seen.

For more proof, let's go back and watch the difference in coverage by the right wing media between Ebola and CoronaVirus.  See if you can notice the SLIGHT difference, courtesy of Media Matters.



The biggest difference between Ebola and CoronaVirus?  The level of competency of Obama compared to the petty narcissism of Trump.  We are far less safe with Trump in office.

The other video tonight is another Jelle's Marble League marble sporting event.  This might be all the sports you get for the next month, so drink it up.  This time, it's the complete Winter Marble League competition!



Keep your wits about you.  We'll get through this CoronaVirus crisis together.
