    The commentaries presented by IMPRIMIS often impress me with their eloquence, lucidity, and rightness.

    This article regarding the coronavirus situation appeared a couple of months ago, but is still apropos. In it Arnn discusses the origins of the CDC, attitudes toward Taiwan, the limits of experts, reliance on foreign powers, and Trump's actions in crisis.

    Thoughts on the Current Crisis

    From the article:

    Did these facts raise red flags at the CDC? They should have. There was a reason that the original name of the CDC, created during World War II, included the words “national defense.” One thinks of something Winston Churchill said in 1934:

    We cannot afford to confide the safety of our country to the passions or to the panic of any foreign nation which may be facing some desperate crisis. We must be independent. We must be free. We must preserve our full latitude and discretion of choice.​

    We should look at how much money the NIH, the CDC, and other U.S. public health agencies give to China, and reconsider that largesse.​
