    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I don't think we're headed for a apocalyptic dystopian nightmare.

    I mean, Obama isn't President anymore, after all.

    Another NBA players tests positive.

    You know, I am not sure we have all, myself included, really wrapped our heads around this. We aren't talking about a few weeks inconvenience.

    The actual experts are talking of millions getting sick and massive economic dislocation. I honestly don't know what the new normal will be.

    I do think states should take action now for November election to be entirely by mail.

    Parents will be able to stay home with their children sent home because of school closures via a new federal law passed overwhelmingly in the House and soon to be passed by the Senate and signed by the President.
    Having schools close is a recommendation of the CDC who seem to know something about the subject. Better to inconvenience some parents than to spread a deadly disease that's going to kill a lot of people.

    You'd think that with so few people flying it might be safer than ever.

    I hope you disinfected the case of that disinfectant spray bottle after you touched it with your bare Wuhan fingers. :jumprope:

    Getting your tubes tied does not count.

    Just passing on a survival tip.

    If you can not find hand sanitizer in the stores, or, run out. Some household products with a high alcohol content can be used.

    One example being overlooked is some of the vanilla extracts. However, there is a side effect. You will smell like cupcakes.

    I love cupcakes. This sounds astounding. What happens when I take a bite of my hand and I don't run into that rich buttercream frosting?

    They banned large gatherings, unless you’re plundering stores, or apparently at o’hare.

    Sounds like the airport in Seoul when I first went there in 1980 except they gouged me for graft money before I could collect my bags.
