Coronavirus Coverage Is What’s Making Me Sick

 

The coverage of the coronavirus panic is making me sicker than if I had the virus itself. It’s almost worse than the Mueller investigation or the impeachment trial. Our local newspaper is now reporting every time someone gets tested for the virus, much less having it.

When the pizza delivery guy came yesterday (it was Pi Day, but that news was blown from the headlines by you-know-what), I asked him if anyone came out to get their pizzas wearing a mask. He laughed and said no, then said it must suck to have pizza with no sports to watch. I agreed (my wife and I watched Girl on a Train instead). Turns out he was a Trump supporter, thinks the Prez is doing the best he can, and is looking forward to this whole thing blowing over.

So am I. However, this manufactured panic won’t blow over as long as the Dems and the MSM think they’re making Trump look bad (spoiler alert – they’re not).

    If you think the press is less than sober, I advise against checking Twitter. It is insane.

    Auntie Em! It’s a twister!

    You know, I think that guy was gay. I don’t know, he just gave off a certain vibe.

    Kidding. That’s Stephen Stucker, who might have been the flamingist dude in a mainstream movie since the 30s. Like, Paul Lynde, except there wasn’t the cover story some people actually believed. Died of AIDS in 1986 – which wasn’t a shock, because he was gay, and it was 1986.

    Stucker gave the funniest performance in “Airplane!” But he was the only cast member who didn’t play in straight….

    Two best lines:

    “Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?”

    “I take it black – like my men.”
