How Coronavirus Has Affected the 2020 Primary Campaign Calendar
Georgia and Louisiana have delayed their primary elections. Wyoming has
suspended its in-person Democratic caucus voting. Here are the latest
updates on changes to the 2020 presidential race.
Nothing is instant.

Sunday’s Democratic Debate: What Time It Is and What to Watch for
The debate between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders will be hosted by CNN and
Univision. It will take place in Washington, D.C., because of concerns over
coronavirus.
20:00 - 22:00

Arizona Boom Draws Californians and Changes Political Hue
A decade after the recession hit hard, Arizona’s economy is a magnet for
technology companies and for workers seeking an affordable middle-class
life.
Drifting left I think is normal.

Public School Is a Child’s Right. Should Preschool Be Also?
Some Democrats, including Bernie Sanders, say the government-financed care
and education of children should start at birth instead of at kindergarten.
Home schooling is also a right.

Biden vs. Sanders, Issue by Issue
Sunday’s debate will be the first one-on-one matchup between Joseph R.
Biden Jr. and Bernie Sanders. So, how do they actually compare on policy?
Look and listen.
We will know more soon.

For Biden and Sanders, the Fight’s Not Personal
The amicable relationship the two have maintained could become an important
factor in the Democrats’ ability to unite quickly against President Trump.
The voters have mostly decided.

Economics of a Flu Pandemic: Part II
Republication of this article from 2010 I just finished reading the Nesbitt
Burns Investors Guide to Avian Flu. It’s a good report, but the advice to
investors is limited (basically, expect a flight to safety such as gold and
US treasuries and keep money on the side to buy up distressed properties
after the pandemic). […]
Donald Trump has managed to get his feet in his mouth.

Trump Oversold a Google Site to Fight Coronavirus
After Jared Kushner liked the idea, President Trump inflated the concept.
The disconnect is the latest example of the president exaggerating or
making wholly inaccurate statements about his administration’s response.
Trump has never learned to listen.

Biden, Looking to Attract Progressives, Endorses Warren Bankruptcy Plan
The two clashed over bankruptcy policy more than a decade ago. But Joseph
R. Biden Jr. now supports Elizabeth Warren’s plan that allows student debt
to be relieved in bankruptcy.
It is good there are so few bankers.
Discharging student loans in bankruptcy is a public good.
10
Georgia Postpones Its Primary as Virus Upends Voting
Georgia joins Louisiana as the second state to delay voting because of the
coronavirus. Arizona, Florida, Illinois and Ohio are still set to vote on
Tuesday.
Within limits the state parties can decide.

Trump Tests Negative for Coronavirus, His Doctor Says
The statement came more than 12 hours after the White House physician
released a statement saying that because the president had no symptoms, a
test was not necessary.
It would please me if he were positive.

Trump Supporters Know Where to Turn in a Crisis: To Him
They’re confident, for perhaps the first time in his presidency, that the
experts on call aren’t out to sabotage the president.

Here’s What’s in Congress’s Emergency Coronavirus Bill
The package includes free coronavirus testing for all, but its two weeks of
paid sick don’t apply to many workers. The Senate is expected to take up
the measure early next week.
The Republicans are almost never generous.

The Economics of a Flu Pandemic (Virus)
Reposted from 2009 – obviously we do now have a pandemic. While I don’t
think the current swine flu outbreak is all that likely to turn into a
pandemic, I’ve had some requests to re-post my article on flu pandemic
economics. Overview When I was approached to write about the economics of a
flu pandemic, […]
The local library is shutting down tomorrow,Tuesday.
The coronovirus pandemic is being taken seriously here

Bernie Sanders, Stand-Up Comic
He’s been on the road in 2020 with a serious message about inequality in
this country. That doesn’t mean he hasn’t found time to make fun of his age.
The Times has not made a point of Bernie Sanders humor.

On a Saturday Night in Florida, a Presidential Party Became a Coronavirus Hot Zone
A weekend getaway at Mar-a-Lago put the president in contact with several
people who later tested positive for the virus. The White House physician
said the president had tested negative for the virus.

Trump Is Losing Money in the Markets, Too
President Trump’s investments in stocks and bonds are holding up no better
than the S&P 500.
Trump gets good advice when he chooses to follow it.

Inside the Most Secret Place at Guantánamo Bay
At Camp 7, the military holds prisoners who were previously held and
interrogated by the C.I.A. But in recent years, conditions have eased up a
bit.
These seven prisoners are the victims of torture.
They should be released and recompensed for their lost lives.
19
Lawmakers Delay Promotion of Officer Involved in Deadly Niger Ambush
Col. Bradley D. Moses is the only officer in his unit involved in the 2017
attack to escape some form of punishment.
Trump wants him.

Could the 2020 Election Be Postponed? Only With Great Difficulty. Here’s Why.
With Louisiana and Georgia delaying their primary votes, we answer six key questions about holding elections in a crisis. And no, a president cannot cancel an election with executive authority.It would be unlikely to impossible.
