PANDEMIC UPDATE

 NEWS AND OBSERVATIONS

 ===
Leave it to Americans to fuck this up...
 ===
 ===
 Why wouldn't the delivery drivers carry around a small mallet or stick for such things?
===
 Remember, we are taking names and making a list.
===
 ===
Look at the Y-axis (?)
1, 2, skip a few, 99, 100! Isn’t that how graphs are done now?
Maybe the statistician was off sick. 
===
 ===
 I wonder if the Chinese citizens are taking names.
===
 My tenant owns a shoe store that's getting killed. His store's landlord told him rent was due as usual.
 Names...list.
===
 ===
 ===
"Business?" Cool. Tax them. 
===
 ===
I'm sorry, but I know that he made a huge mistake. Letting our enemies know that one of our carriers was knocked off-line was against every rule in the book. Oh, I don't mind him bitching to his superiors, but letting the word out served no purpose...except to ruin his career. 
===
 ===
Many stores forbid it. I agree with them.
 ===
From my research:
We can look to previous coronaviruses, such as SARS and MERS, for insight. Studies on both SARS and MERS show that UV light could inactivate the viruses, so it’s not unreasonable to expect that it will have a similar effect on COVID-19.

UV light (in particular UV-C light, which has a wavelength between 200 and 280 nanometers, while visible lights smallest wavelength measures 380 nm) is optimal.
 I ordered mine today. But DO NOT use it on skin.

Was told that the limited power of that wan would take several minutes to be effective. Well, I've got nothing but time.
===
My "Anything is better than nothing" is now official policy.
 ===
I know all of this is not accurate but it's still a good read.


This thread from Imgur:










And...
But that view is not universal...
 === 

Who knew?
===
 Names...list.
===
Cough and fever = not good. Got it.
What about losing taste and smell? Anybody?
===
Another RN's beard fell for the cause of defeating covid-19.

 His kid didn't recognize him...
If any face needs a beard it's that one.

 THE LIGHTER SIDE OF THE PANDEMIC

 ===
 ===
 ===
 I finally watched...TRIED to watch it. I gave up halfway through the first episode. It is so bad I am embarrassed to admit that.


I was embarrassed for all concerned.
===
Be careful out there, people!
 ===
 ===
 ===
 I do miss my occasional fast food.

And thanks to one alert viewer of this blog I have learned that I am forbidden to take short drives in my electric cart. He's such a kind caring citizen. Let him be an example to you all - you don't have to mind your own fucking business anymore.
Bless you, for your concern, sir.
 
PERSONAL UPDATE
Took a short drive through our deserted burg today. I was delighted that there were no groups of people anywhere! Although the night before last my neighbors had a party in their back yard. They said that they sat six feet apart, but they all walked in the house to use the bathroom - touching every doorknob en route.
Still eating good and has postponed out weekly grocery shopping after the lastest CDC plea for emergency trips only.
Stay safe, Gentle Readers. I think of you often. Let me know if your circumstances change.

You’re acting like an ass. Stay at home, unless you feel like going out... then publicize it.

The old Ralph wouldn’t have acted like that.

Not only did Robert Kraft send the Patriots airplane to China to pick up masks as you mentioned the other day. on your blog. But he delivered 300,000 of them to New York City. Check out their Saturday April 4th cover https://nypost.com/cover/covers-for-saturday-april-4-2020/
