From Victor Davis Hanson: In typically American fashion, as we have seen in
crises from Pearl Harbor to 9/11, after initial shock and unpreparedness, the
U.S. economic and scientific juggernaut is kicking into action. Already the
U.S. is transitioning from a long, disastrous reliance on Chinese medical
supplies and pharmaceuticals. In ad hoc fashion, companies are gearing up
massive production of masks, ventilators and key anti-viral supplies
(Townhall).
From Peggy Noonan on the resiliency
of New Yorkers: No one asks—not one person has asked—Why us? We think: Why not us? Of
course us. The city of the skyscrapers draws the lightning. There are 8.6
million of us, we are compact, draw all the people of the world, and travel
packed close in underground tubes. Of course we got sick here first. The crises
are the price we pay for the privilege of living in the most exciting little
landmass on the face of the Earth (WSJ).
