I think they should make insuring the food supply a priority.

Not the priority but a priority.

They should be making plans if they don't have them already.

Captain Bligh got kicked off the ship and cast adrift in a little rowboat

I'm just saying. He identifies with Captain Bligh. Proceed cap'n.

So what happens if we go "substantially above 100,000 deaths"?

What will his supporters say?

They should put food preparers on the list to let get tested even if

they don't have symptoms. That would make me feel a lot more comfortable about ordering carryout.

Dr. Scarf.

I was so jealous when another DU'er coined the nom "Dr. Scarf". Because for weeks now my wife has had to endure me yelling at these press conferences, about those DAMNED SCARVES! I could see the shit start going to her head. And that allows the politics to interfere with the science.

A couple days ago I heard her say that our effort at social distancing was NOT WORKING. I thought, wow Trump's not gonna like that. The next day I heard her say "good news" the social distancing is working.

Don't get me wrong, I know she's competent and accomplished, and people are only human, but the scarves indicate to my subconscious, that she's compromising because of the incredible pressure of being in the limelight. It feels like the need to preening because the cameras are on, when we are in a crisis.

I bet my wife last night that after the ostentatious scarf she wore yesterday that surely someone would tell her that she's going a bit too far with the DAMNED SCARVES, and that she would not be wearing a scarf today. My wife said nope, she lives in a bubble, she will be wearing a scarf.

Needless to say she was right.

(I apologize for the rant)

Cringing at all the movies and tv shows.

Weird how fast life can change. Now when I watch movies and tv I keep cringing at how people in the movies and tv shows are shaking hands, hugging, kissing, talking and laughing in each other's faces. Eating in restaurants. Just about everything we used to do is deadly dangerous.

World's biggest fake calling everything else fake.
