    That would be a good street name for a dealer. "I love it when they call me Big Pharma..."

    So far a dog, and now a cat has been confirmed as having it.

    https://www.foxnews.com/world/cat-in-belgium-first-to-test-positive-for-coronavirus-report

    As with humans, the actual rate of infection is likely astronomical compared to the small number of cats and dogs (2) who have been tested so far.

    Entire fragile species could face extinction from scientist's egotistical failure to heed their own advice. OPB published a story about a nurse who is deliberately and illegally re-using dirty face masks and gowns, spreading disease to patients and taking it home to her 90 year old grandmother, because she thinks she is above it all. The Washington nursing home where dozens have died, was infected by a healthcare worker came back from overseas and ignored all the rules.

    Cuomo, Newsom and Inslee were in denial for 2 months, now their states are drowning in death and disease while they blame Trump for their own inaction. Both still refuse to lock down their borders to prevent their diseased citizens from fleeing into neighboring states spreading the disease across America. Death merchants, nothing more.

    We had to get out of the house today. Took the wife and kids for a drive out to the gorge. Much needed escape.....

    That's illegal where I come from. You have to stop at the grocery store, then you divert to your secret sidetrip. Best to sneak around in the dark. Yesterday on a wide highway here in Bellingham, a couple of deer sauntered across. Stopped in the middle. They're taking over the town. I darted off the road before the police drone could plug me full of lead.

    Look, how many times does it have to be explained that isolating an entire state is unConstitutional. A city, yes, a state no.

    I’ve been sick all week so I self isolated, feeling better now so back to work tomorrow.

    Every day I’ve been playing Red Dead Online all morning (level 144, maxed all the roles, just doing daily’s and free roams now), then bingeing three seasons of Ozark every afternoon, and watching one Bond film every night.

    A TV station is showing them all, watching A View To A Kill right now.

    I happened across this piece. Nice little story. Ahhh. the good ol' days. I began reminiscing about similar life growing up in our quaint little home. You just found things to do....

    https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/28/opinions/coronavirus-grandparents-glock/index.html

    Now I finally understand what my grandparents knew

    "In a dark time, the eye begins to see." -- Theodore Roethke

    "I feel like there is nothing left to look forward to." My 19-year-old daughter is sitting across the table from me, her eyes heavy with dread. She's been struggling, like all of us, with the existential purgatory we find ourselves wading through. The not knowing of when this will end, or how, or what we as a culture, a country, a community will be when it does.

    Along with her sister, who is 18, she's moved back home from school, school that is now over in a practical sense for the foreseeable future.
    My girls, like countless of the world's children, have been wrenched from routines and friends, the architecture of their lives dismantled and replaced with a return to the orbit of parents who themselves can't say what's coming, our ability to comfort muted and undermined by the speeding train of the virus and the whirlwind of devastating news.

    My kids read the papers, the breaking alerts that flash across their phones. They personally know people who are nurses and doctors in the most perilous wards. They know people who are sick. They feel the dismay in the air. Their suffering is not unique (nor does it compare to the horrors unfolding for so many), but it is the suffering in front of me, and so I do what I can to ease it, the only job that feels worth doing at the moment.

    I tell my 19-year-old that I understand her feeling lost, empty. I remind her how lucky we are. To be together. To have dogs. To love each other. To be able to hug.

    I tell her I've been thinking a lot about my grandparents. How when I was her age, I'd watch them play cards, do crosswords, dance together in their cramped living room, taking care not to topple the miniature, boxy television set that was only ever turned on for baseball games........(CONT.).....
