INSIDE THIS ISSUE
W e warned last month that American freedoms were disappearing. And now, thanks to the COVID-19 coronavirus, it’s happening faster than ever... This month has brought us lockdowns and enforced quarantines in major American cities, empty grocery-store shelves, a near- complete halt to national economic activity, and the most volatile stock market since the Great Depression. In this American Consequences magazine, we have tried to approach this coronavirus- spurred disaster from every angle... Editor in chief P.J. O’Rourke takes a look at the state of the U.S. presidential race. As he puts it...

Pat Buchanan ponders whether the coronavirus will kill the New World Order... while Kenneth Rogoff notes that current financial conditions feel like the ’70s, with the potential for rising Coronavirus Care Kit to help you prepare... as ultimately, at least 50% of Americans are likely to be infected in the coming weeks. And make sure you read... • Jeff Patch investigates a British billionaire who is bankrolling extreme climate protestors in the U.S. • Erick Erickson shows how “free market wokeness” leads corporations to side with the left in steering social policy. • Walter Reynolds shows how the census is a bare-knuckle political brawl... and has been for more than 100 years. • Dan Ferris interviews Mark Minervini, a “Stock Market Wizard” who recently went viral with his $100 challenge. And finally, executive editor Buck Sexton rounds out our magazine with a dispatch from America’s viral “ground zero” – searching for a chicken at a Whole Foods in New York City.
