A Journal of the Plague Year






Another shopping day; about the only time I get a glimpse of the outside world. Cold May day, with leaves on the trees and flowers in bloom.

The store was more crowded this week, perhaps because of the long weekend. Half the meat aisle was empty; no powdered milk; a sign below the yeast and the baking powder warning to buy now, while supplies last.

People seem to be slacking off on the social distancing.

Trump has announced he is taking hydroxylchoraquine and zinc. The mainstream media have already declared hydroxychloroquine ineffective and dangerous. Now they must struggle to explain why Trump would be taking it himself. What will they do if a study comes in showing it is effective—for we have not yet seen a controlled study that used it as recommended?

No doubt the media would not report it. But the Trump administration could make sure the word got out.

That the media would have so recklessly got themselves into this position suggests their underlying suicidal tendencies.
