Stay Home and Read This! A Coronavirus Reading Sampler (April 13, 2020)

We are offering our top 10 selections, probably daily, of the best (most interesting, weirdest) articles and podcasts on COVID-19 and American policy responses.

Overall our reading leads us to think there ARE and SHOULD BE "libertarians in a pandemic," and that indeed non-libertarian policies are what make responses to the pandemic inadequate.

1) One third of renters did not pay rent in April.  (Wall Street Journal)

2)  Microneedle "Band Aid" vaccine in development.  (Market Watch)

3) Andrew Cuomo considers using National Guard to seize ventilators. (Politico

4) Journalists with the Trump Derangment Syndrome co-morbidity falsely claim Trump makes money off of hydroxychloroquine.  (The Dispatch

Which raises a question:
If hydroxychloroquine is proven to be a cure (or good prophylaxis), and we can't make enough for everyone and have to ration it, should we deny it to all registered Democrats, or just elected ones?

5)  Democrat brownshirts throw nails in Kentucky church parking lot, Democrat Governor Andy Beshear orders state troopers to harass Easter Sunday church goers.  (NY Post)

6)   Laboratory where COVID-19 may have originated in humans in Wuhan, China funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health.  (UK Daily Mail)

7)  COVID-19's most important lessons.  (Garrison Center)

8) CDC's massive failure. (American Institute for Economic Research)




9)  Will we have to show our papers to walk out of our homes? (Lew Rockwell)

10) CDC's Nanny State funding priorities led to no preparation for a panedmic.  (Inside Sources)
