[U] Cranky Old John — Is At It… AGAIN. Yawn.

Here is his latest unhinged whine.

UPDATED Friday night: Paul M. just put Hinderaker’s “minimizations of deaths” rhetoric in its rightful place: the ashcan — this is no flu. There are no easy, ready-made answers. End update.

Nearly daily now, he puts up charts purporting to track US death totals. Any human with a working frontal lobe may notice that no one knows how much worse the death totals would be right now, had we as a nation not conducted the limited [late] social distancing… and even later… shelter in place efforts. What John calls “the shutdowns”, thus:

“…The shutdowns… have gone on long enough and (in my opinion) have proved to be both unnecessary and horribly destructive….”

What we may reliably say is that many many more would be dead now. John has openly admitted as much. But no, this has all been inconvenient, to him, personally. So he converts it into yet another case of progressives ruining his individual [increasingly solitary] life.

Darwin, in the visage of the Joker… seems apt, here.

Onward — ignoring the morons, now gathering online, at his sad lil’ VIPs’ event.
