Loads of research papers dropped in the last 24 hours.

A look at recent activity in Spain demonstrates the universality of front-loading in this epidemic.

I can't resist having a little fun at the expense of those oh so sincere state spokespeople on our coronavirus briefings. They do their part by making themselves easy targets.

You will want to read this study, which confirms that the lockdown reactions by politicians was largely lemming-behavior.

I have no clue about what the "seasonal" impact on this strain of coronavirus epidemic will be, and I don't think anyone else does either.

A new set of summaries as I catch up after my recent journeys.

Reflections on coronavirus death counting and a new appellation for the Dictator.

Yeah, the lockdowns really helped people feel confident about the economy and go out and spend and create jobs.

I get upset about absurd lockdown proposals for a reason.

An unimaginable suggestion that we lockdown even harder, for no good reason, and with a completely blase attitude toward the harms that would result.

Hmmm, not all is well in mask land, and a few other research items.

Nothing is apparently too clueless for a politician to say.

Some graphs that depict trends in cases, hospitalizations and deaths with a different scale for deaths to display relative change better, thanks to some readers.

Some random items, with the school and child debate in particular rolling on.

How dumb does the state think we are? Apparently pretty dumb.
