    Americans are leaving big cities in droves. The Daily Mail, writing about the exodus from Los Angeles quotes a local resident as saying, “The streets look like Haiti after the earthquake.

    Totalitarianism has reached a new low. The New York Times reports: “Venezuelan officials are denouncing people who may have come into contact with the coronavirus as ‘bioterrorists’ and urging their neighbors to report them.
