CLIFF KINCAID — The Washington Post has been a joke for a long time, at least since the days when it won a Pulitzer Prize in 1981 for a story about a child heroin addict who turned out not to exist. The paper is now filled, on a daily basis, with poison pen "analysis," backed by phony "fact-checkers," criticizing almost anything President Trump says or does. Somehow, basic facts that may impact the coronavirus story, such as the federal record of failure in the development of an HIV/AIDS vaccine, escape mention.... (more)

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON — Almost two weeks ago I offered at NRO a few synopses of various theories about why California -- which, for a variety of reasons, had seemed so ripe for a New York--style epidemic -- had nonetheless strangely been exempt at least for a while from the virus's spread. I included the pedestrian possibility of some previously acquired "herd immunity," given the state's singular exposure from November to January 31 to direct flights from China, including those from Wuhan, and initial CDC and media reports last year of an unusually early and severe assumed flu hitting the state....

THE BLAZE — Alex Berenson is a former reporter who worked for the New York Times from 1999 to 2010 where he covered everything from the drug industry to Hurricane Katrina. After that stint he devoted himself to writing books full time. Last year, his project "Tell Your Children" was published, which deals with the science around cannabis and mental illness. But Berenson has again come into prominence amid the growing coronavirus pandemic, as he's been posting data analysis revealing a disturbing conclusion: The models that have dictated mass business closures -- and that have swiftly collapsed the American economy -- are deeply flawed....

ANDREW MCCARTHY — 'An overreach by our police officers." Yeah, I'll say. "Overreach" was the concession that the police department in Brighton, Colo., grudgingly offered regarding their arrest of Matt Mooney, a 33-year-old former state trooper. Mooney was handcuffed in front of his six-year-old daughter. His "crime"? Playing tee-ball with her on an empty field. Cops on the scene capriciously decided that this transgressed the state's social-distancing restrictions.... (more)

West understood more clearly than anyone the allure of Communism for educated Westerners

NATIONAL REVIEW — Bolshevism's appeal to Western intellectuals is a mystery we still struggle to explain. Why did artists who despised patriotism show a larger loyalty to Russian chauvinism? Why did writers defend a regime that repeatedly imprisoned, tortured, and killed writers? In short, why did intelligent people who lived in free countries worship at the altar of despotic states? Few thinkers studied this enigma more carefully than the British critic Rebecca West (1892--1983).... (more)

Retired Navy, Coast Guard veteran's thoughts on Trump's pandemic response

STEVE A. STONE — Dear Mr. President, I'm writing to discuss observations and concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic response and other events that are material to the health and well-being of our nation today. I've watched intently as you and your COVID-19 Response Team have made various announcements on the progress of the disease, response actions taken, and planned responses. I find no specific fault in what has been done thus far. The CDC members have made considerations for pandemics in general as part of previous disaster response planning, and what they've done to date appears to be a sane and rational approach. But, that doesn't mean I have no criticisms. I do.... (more)

JERRY NEWCOMBE — These are very trying times. There is an enemy out there at the microscopic level, wreaking all kinds of havoc in people's hearts and minds and lives. The economic consequences alone of the coronavirus could possibly be felt for years to come. The big problem in life, of course, is the threat of death. But the coronavirus is not going to cancel Easter -- though it may cancel our traditional celebrations of it. Easter hope defangs the threat of the coronavirus because Jesus has taken the sting out of death.... (more)

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre -- widely believed to be contain the sites where Jesus was crucified, buried and resurrected -- is closed along with most shops along the Old City's alleyways....
