Tear Up Your Census Form for a Better America – Reason.com
"If, like me, you've received not one but three mailings from the U.S. Census Bureau proclaiming "Your Response Is Required By Law," you're probably wondering whether to respond, toss the questionnaire in the trash, or fill it with bogus information.
We're in good company, since about a third of households plan to ignore the census, according to the government itself.
In the past, I've filled in preposterous answers, then repeated them with a straight face when a harried-looking census field worker knocked on my door (that's a pleasure I'll miss this year, with in-person interviews suspended).
It's good fun, it denies potentially dangerous information to a government agency that has a history of misusing the data it collects and, if repeated far and wide, it might spur nosy bureaucrats to try something less intrusive.
Less intrusive would be nice.
Census questions, you may have noticed, go a bit beyond the simple head count authorized by the Constitution. Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution specifies an "actual Enumeration … within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct."
There's nothing in there about demanding names, the types of our homes, the nature of our relationships with the people with whom we live, our ethnicity, or the details of our finances (if you were unlucky enough to get the old long form or the modern American Community Survey).
That's all just bureaucratic curiosity.
Our answers are supposed to be confidential..."

Freed Rikers inmates are given cellphones and hotel rooms:"Some inmates released from Rikers Island amid the coronavirus outbreak are being given free cellphones, cab fare and even hotel rooms as they head out the door, according to sources and a City Hall rep.
“This is a disgrace to all correction officers — insane and dishonorable,’’ a city Department of Corrections source raged to The Post on Friday.
Mayor Bill de Blasio “hasn’t even given us masks to wear, let alone made sure we received masks.”
Another disgusted source familiar with the handouts said he was “surprised [the inmates] weren’t given stretch limos.’’...

Numerators and Denominators in the Coronavirus Saga - American Thinker
Numerators and Denominators in the Coronavirus Saga - American Thinker
"To ascertain how fatal a virus is, we need an accurate picture of how many people have it (the denominator) and how many have died as a result (the numerator), we have neither, but the data is improving and with it some substantial shifts away from the original model, which predicted far more deaths as a result of the Wuhan virus than we are seeing.
(Rather like the Zika scare where the claim that virus resulted in natal microcephaly was proven upon examination to be anecdotal and not scientific -- but only after the WHO declared it a pandemic and we spent $1 billion to deal with it.)
Early models also could not accurately predict how quickly the virus would spread and what tools could be brought in to limit mortality.
As the data comes in, we have reason to be more optimistic that the death rate will be lower, the extreme efforts to control its spread should soon be relaxed, and that efficacious treatments are already underway.
(Unfortunately, I can be far less sanguine about the end of Democratic rapaciousness in the face of national emergencies or media disingenuousness.)

Coronavirus Update (Live): 799,710 Cases and 38,720 Deaths from COVID-19 Virus Outbreak - Worldometer
Coronavirus Update (Live): 799,710 Cases and 38,720 Deaths from COVID-19 Virus Outbreak - Worldometer--Jim Riley
No, the USA does not lead the world in "deaths/population".
We are 21st in the world. (lower # is better)
- The USA has the 3rd LARGEST population in the world.
- The USA has honest, efficient reportage of COVID-19 victims. Unlike China(1), India (2), Indonesia (4) and Russia (9).
Of course we report higher numbers than smaller countries.
And we're only that high because we have the most accurate numbers of any nation.
- We need facts, NOT media half-truths. (that are really lies)
- We need facts, not democrat, political talking points.
- We need facts, not unsubstantiated fear mongering.
So here is an excellent site for up-to-date COVID-19 reported stats.
Most importantly, it's sortable. (explained below)
- Update this daily to see just how badly our media is lying to you:
"Total cases" merely reflects the honesty of our process and the fact we are testing more than any other country.
"Total deaths" is far more important, and harder to cover-up.
"Sortable" means you can click the top of each column and re-sort for that data-set. IE: "New cases", Total recovered", Total deaths", etc.
Notice that most advanced (democratic, capitalist) nations have higher numbers (not good) than communist/dictatorship nations. That's because criminal countries lie. Simple.
New photos from Wuhan reignite doubts that communist China is being honest about coronavirus - TheBlaze
A new development in China is refueling theories that China's communist government is not being honest with the world about the coronavirus.
This week, families in Wuhan — the Chinese city of about 11 million people where the COVID-19 pandemic originated — were allowed to begin picking up the cremated remains of loved ones who succumbed to COVID-19.

Hillary Clinton's attempt to politicize coronavirus to mock President Trump ends terribly - TheBlaze
Hillary Clinton triggered an avalanche of backlash on Friday after she politicized the coronavirus outbreak to mock President Donald Trump.
She lied!-----Whitmer won't name vendors she said were told to divert medical supplies from Michigan
Whitmer won't name vendors she said were told to divert medical supplies from Michigan
"The Democratic governor's suggestion Friday that the Trump administration was actively blocking the flow of medical supplies to Michigan hospitals drew criticism from Republicans after the governor's office did not put forward any supporting evidence of her claim.
"I think people are trying to make this into a different story than what it is," Whitmer said Sunday on CNN.

"I think people are trying to make this into a different story than what it is," Whitmer said Sunday on CNN.
Late Saturday night, GOP state Reps. Annette Glenn of Midland and Mary Whiteford of South Haven sent Whitmer a letter asking that her office disclose "names of individual vendors with whom you or members of your staff have spoken, names of their companies, gubernatorial or agency phone logs, e-mails, etc. — so that we can immediately join you in taking quick action to remove any and all roadblocks."
"What you allege, governor, cannot be allowed to stand or continue," Glenn and Whiteford wrote..."

Here Are The Pro-Life Protections In The $2 Trillion Coronavirus Emergency Relief Package | The Daily Caller
Here Are The Pro-Life Protections In The $2 Trillion Coronavirus Emergency Relief Package | The Daily Caller:
Senate Republicans won several pro-life protections in the CARES Act that ensured federal funding will not be used to pay for abortions. These protections include disqualifying Planned Parenthood from receiving aid, ensuring that health care spending in the bill is covered by Hyde Amendment protections, and extending the Sexual Risk Avoidance Education Program — a program that teaches abstinence until marriage.
“Republicans won critical pro-life protections in this relief package, despite a last-minute attempt by Democrats to make Planned Parenthood eligible for disaster-relief funding,” Sen. Tom Cotton told the Daily Caller News Foundation on Friday.

THEY WANT A STAMPEDE: Distortion and fear...
THEY WANT A STAMPEDE:
- The US is nowhere near having the highest number of cases per capita.
Look at the cases per million numbers here, and you’ll see that the US has one of the world’s lowest rates (at the moment, anyway), not the highest at all. (currently 21st in the world)
That will change and go up, of course, as testing continues.
But it’s the more important statistic than sheer number of cases, although neither tells us very much right now.
- Then there’s deaths per million.
