Yeah someone put this up here last week, I had issue with the then projections for Alabama being overinflated, and with the website that picked up the story. Was since revised to be much less potential deaths though their median numbers are still a little high. It’s interesting looking from state to state.

Imagine how much bathroom tissue must be locked up inside office buildings, shops, etc. since everyone is home now.

I'm surprised we haven't heard stories of people trying to break into places just to raid their bathroom tissue supply.

It made it's way to my little town. A daughter of a teacher had to go on Spring Break and brought it back with her, infected her whole family.

Maybe we'll end up with better films...

I am now getting schooled on wrestling, comic books and obscure movies on an hourly basis. I used to take a 2 to 4PM nap but no longer due to schooling. The trade off is twice daily foot rubs. I can live with that.

Wait, what?

I use Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Disney + and on rare occasions (usually while traveling) VUDU.

Reminds me when I stopped by Burger King today, they took my debit card in a plastic container and they gave me my sack of food in one, too.

Why do you get foot rubs from your son?

[Batman1980]

I would imagine the foot rubs come from his wife.

I hope so, but all he ever talks about is his son. Or is that someone else?

Because they feel good and because I have circulation issues with my feet. He likes to take care of me. Who am I to complain.

Nope. No wife. Just me and Alex. Happily divorced for 39 years.

Good news, they're only predicting 3000ish deaths.

That's no good news; if out of these 3,000 deaths your name is on the list.
Or if it's not on the list they forgot to count you because you expired @ home without any symptom, without ever being tested.

This has been going on for a long time and is just another example of propaganda being spread by so called news agencies. As I mentioned previously, journalistic standards were thrown out the window a long time ago. Now, it's all about being first to the story and having the biggest bang at all costs.

Like Parasite, I Lost my Body, Doctor Sleep, A Hidden Life, 1917.
