America to New Yorkers: Drop Dead

New Yorkers are taught to loath the rest of the country. We know. We were one. 

You know how Kentucky don't want no Hoosiers in their state, and any good LSU fan would have to think long and hard before throwing a life preserver to a drowning Alabama fan? These are intense, but friendly rivalries. 

But New Yorkers mean it. They really loath the rest of the country. Civilization stops at the Hudson. We agree actually, but in reverse. Daily News columnist Jimmy Breslin used to write about 'low IQ states'. Yeah, well you're the ones who elected an incompetent commie mayor, pal. Whose got the low IQ now?

Which is why various state and local governments trying flush out New Yorkers fleeing The CCP virus is hilarious. In Cape Cod locals want the town to close the bridges. Florida state cops are checking ID at the border. The governor of Rhode Island has called out the National Guard to make door to door checks. It's like the Diary of Ann Frank in Providence.

Your Chindian Wuhan Virus Report

There are 4,4,02 confirmed cases of the Wuhan China Virus from Wuhan China here in New Jersey, 139 in Somerset County, and 13 in Bridgewater including two deaths. There is a Bridgewater Covid-19 group on FB, which is an excellent information clearing house, an while state authorities keep the names of the deceased private, we have learned them through the group. The Chinese American Society of Bridgewater donated medical supplies to the local police and EMTs. Good for them.

Announced number of cases here in Chindia, New Jersey: 0.0

Announced.

New Jersey has ramped up testing, leading to the higher reporting numbers. It's possible we're leveling off here. We'll see. Hotline calls were dropping last week, but spiked on Monday. Bergen County, right across the Hudson from Manhattan, is New Jersey's hottest spot with 819 cases. No one else even comes close.

New York City, we saw, has at least half the nation's China Virus cases. This makes sense for so many reasons. Longtime readers of this blog know our stance on New York City. Now's your chance, Governor Murphy. Drop the GWB into the Hudson! This the time for Lee van Cleef if there ever was one or at least Stacy Keach.

Here's our latest piece at Inforos:

In response to the Wuhan Coronavirus outbreak, President Trump holds daily press briefings in which he describes his administration’s efforts and spars with the media. He then hands the podium off to Vice President Mike Pence, chair of the Coronavirus Task Force. The former governor of Indiana comes across as cool, collected, and in-charge. Pence will probably be the Republican frontrunner in 2024. Last week, the press really focused on an important issue: is calling the virus the ‘China Virus’ racist? In true Trumpian manner, Trump scoffed. And so, he goaded the press into picking another fight that will make them look silly.The Wuhan Coronavirus is sweeping through the New York Metropolitan area...

Your Wuhan China Virus from China Saturday Updates

There are 890 cases of the Chinese Wuhan Virus from Wuhan China in New Jersey, 30 cases in Somerset County and five cases in Bridgewater.

Number of announced cases here in Chindia: 0.0.

Announced.

So we did a little research and it turns out there are 8,900,000 people in New Jersey and 42,000 people in Somerset County. We don't mean to downplay things. We believe there is anecdotal evidence that America has had the CCP China Virus for much longer than is believed.

Anecdotal.

The week of home schooling went better than we ever expected it would go.

We have 100 pages to go on World War 1990: Battle of the Three Seas. Here's what that means. We are reading the hard copy, noting a few words we'd like to change, noting a few typos. We will make those changes to the final Word doc. Once that is completed we will go back through the hard copy, check that we made the changes and check that those changes are correct. Then we're done.

Nuke 1975 is 10,000 words. Can we finish it by April? No idea. In April Nederlandse becomes numero uno, the top dog, the big cheese, the head honco, el jeffe grande.

We've been doing some light weight lifting and push-ups followed by 5 miles on the exercise bike. It's a decent sweat anyway and takes 45 minutes. Our normal workouts were an hour.

The Strooklettes have taken to doing 'Corona' dances. Mrs. Stroock does not approve.

New Jersey's Attorney General, one Gurbir S Grewal, Tweeted that it might be illegal to say that the China Virus from Wuhan China comes from Wuhan China. You people know what we did next.

@NewJerseyOAG I am a lawful resident of #NewJersey and have been referencing the #ChineseWuhanVirus from #Wuhan #china on my blog everyday. Come and get me, copper. https://t.co/NQORoZn1KE

Will On Biden In Russian

Here's our latest piece at Inforos:

Last week was a tough one for the American economy, stock market, and public. Slowly, the number of Wuhan Coronavirus cases in the United States rose to more than 3,500. The New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, and S&P all had their worst weeks since the Financial Crisis of 2008. At the same time, Saudi Arabia and Russia began a petroleum-price war pushing the price of oil down to levels at which many American producers cannot compete. This week looks to be little better. Here in New Jersey, the number of Wuhan Coronavirus cases reached 178 by Monday
