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)

But recently adopted technology enables millions to 'gather'
ART MOORE — For the first time in American history, the pews of thousands of church buildings across the nation will be empty on Easter Sunday. Streets have been strangely quiet this week in Jerusalem's Old City, where pilgrims at least since the fourth century have journeyed to remember the death of Jesus Christ and celebrate his resurrection during Holy Week.

WORLDNETDAILY — The unprecedented policy of mass quarantine to "flatten the curve" is only prolonging the coronavirus pandemic, contends a veteran scholar of epidemiology.

CLIFF KINCAID — When FDR waged World War II, he could mobilize the entire country. President Trump faces an assortment of enemies, here and abroad, in confronting the coronavirus. These include China, source of the virus; Russia, which is driving American oil producers out of business through overproduction of cheap oil; a toxic anti-American media culture; and a Democratic Party that wants to undermine Trump through investigations and make him (and the country) fail....

BONNIE CHERNIN — There is another pandemic, one that is not under the microscope. It's been going on daily while national attention has been focused on the constant news coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic. As more testing becomes available, we will have a better idea of where we are, but the numbers remain fluid. Amid conflicting statistics, travel bans, job losses, a volatile stock market, and unofficial curfews, another pandemic continues to kill.... (more)

MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ completely distorts Trump’s coronavirus response, as well as his own lapses
DAVID HARSANYI — This morning, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough claimed that, unlike the Trump administration, "Everybody saw this coming in early January." If Scarborough knew that a deadly, once-in-a-century pandemic was about to descend on the nation in early January -- I assume he considers himself part of "everyone" -- why on God's earth didn't he warn his susceptible viewers that they should begin social distancing?...

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON — A current global myth alleges that America under the Trump administration is not leading the world fight against the coronavirus in its accustomed role as the post-war global leader. Yet the U.S. was the first major nation to issue a travel ban on flights from China, with Donald Trump making that announcement on January 31. That was a bold act. It likely saved thousands endangered by Chinese perfidy and soon became a global model. None of the ban's loud critics are today demanding it be rescinded.... (more)
