Victor D. Hanson - The Virus is Not Invincible, But It’s Exposing Who’s Irreplaceable

     Another fine article from Victor Davis Hanson about how the coronavirus is showing who's really important in our society. Not the academics or loudmouth politicians, but the farmers, truckers or our doctors & nurses. 
     His commentary begins - "In all the gloom and doom, and media-driven nihilism, there is actually an array of good news. As many predicted, as testing spreads, and we get a better idea of the actual number and nature of cases, the death rate from coronavirus slowly but also seems to steadily decline." 

     A few words about California - "However, a rare “March Miracle” has just seen the Sierra Nevada Mountains suddenly receive 4-6 feet of snow that covers dry ground (it is still snowing as I write this). And the later the snow, the better the spring runoff." 

     International rivals - "Like it or not, national rivalries continue at a time of plague. Our three greatest rivals, China, Russia, and Iran are all faring far worse than are we in ways that transcend the virus."
