Inside the White House debate about hydroxychloroquine; whether to believe anecdotal evidence or wait for controlled studies.  Here's some anecdotal evidence: a Detroit rep says hydroxychloroquine, Trump helped save her life amid COVID-19 fight. More here on the doctors who are prescribing it.

Peter Navarro, the principal character in the above debate, wrote a memo to Trump in January warning of the possible consequences of the virus. Trump then restricted travel from China, something Trump doesn't get much credit for. Navarro seems to be some kind of hero.

A lot of people who were well known in their fields, that we have never heard of, are dying from the Wuhan Virus. When this happens, we get to  learn about their lives. Read this article about song writer John Prine. In the NY Times, a roundup of notable people who have died from the virus.

A lot of Coronavirus questions addressed by the NYT.

Google is working to wipe out mosquito born diseases.  Trials are working in California.

At a press conference, Trump questioned a reporter about ties to the Chinese Government. He seems to be on to something.

Gun laws in Brazil have been loosened under Bolsonaro so that normal citizens can own guns, not just the criminals. The homicide rate has dropped quite a bit, contrary to predictions. The New York Times article referenced in the story doesn't seem to be accurate, just politically correct.

CNN is telling people of color not to wear face masks, because black people with face masks look like robbers.

A lot of people are turning to jigsaw puzzles while confined to quarters. Here's a story about how they are made. Hint-it's really hard.

How about some news that isn't about the Wuhan Virus? The FISA scandal is about corruption, not sloppiness.

Gigantic dinosaur footprints are found on the roof of a cave.
