COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic stats are interesting. To date, less than four-thousandths of one percent (0.003.5%) of the US population has contracted it; six ten-thousandths of one percent (0.0006%) of the US population has died from it. Italy’s death rate from the virus is 1.7%.
The Republic of San Marino is a 24 sq. mi. micronation surrounded by Italy. It has the highest fatality rate (of the countries listed) at 6.5%.
PJMedia parsed the same statistics I did and posted the graphs below:
-
- 28 MAR 2020 COVID Cases per million

This. Oh, and also This.
Earlier this year, a Beijing district office for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention announced that pants should be an effective barrier against farts that might disperse the Wuhan virus.

Saturday Matinee – Germs and You, The First Edition, Gunhild Carling & Elvin Bishop
Saturday, 28 March 2020
Yankovic tweeted this out recently as a public service announcement.
The First Edition (featuring Kenny Rogers on bass & vocals) had their first big hit in 1968.
Gunhild Carling is amazing. According to Wiki, she plays trombone, bagpipes, trumpet, recorder, string instruments (such as banjo, ukulele and harp) and can also play three trumpets simultaneously.
So where do we go from here? Oh wait. I got it.
Haven’t heard that song since high school. Elvin Bishop had a few minor hits, but never got the recognition he deserved despite touring with the Allman Bros. (According to the comments on the Utoobage, I wasn’t the only one who thought the other guitar was Dickie Betts – it was Johnny ‘V’ Vernazza.)
Have a great weekend, folks. If you decide to go out, hoard me some, too.

In case that image puzzles some of you, it’s a reference to the greatest paranoia/spy TV show ever.

Wikipedia is actually debating whether or not to delete references to the 1918 Spanish flu. Now about the Wuhan Chinese Asian Corona virus…
“It’s a funny thing… After the fall of communism, everybody in the world agreed that socialism was a failure. Everybody in the world, more or less, agreed that capitalism was a success. And every capitalist country in the world apparently deduced from that that what the west needed was more socialism.” – Milton Friedman 1993.
