Another round of corona admin!
And what is the point of these?
Best case, the data scientists of 3030 will consider these missives an important 'artifact' or 'fossil' or whatever word becomes equivalent to 'cave drawings'. Worst case, I become this era's Pillow Book.
OK, whatever, yesterday you mentioned incompetent decisions...
Right, decisions starting with but not limited to appointing Mike Pence the head of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, his qualifications including longtime opposition to needle exchange programs despite evidence that such programs prevented disease outbreaks. Perfect guy for the job. Honestly, Trump could have appointed anyone from my college Epidemiology 101 class to this role - we at least could have told him not to have news conferences with his 'task force' standing ten abreast like they were about to start rehearsals for Riverdance DC.
All the wine, is all for me...
Forgot to add yesterday - I buy only Cabernet Sauvignon. For some reason, it's the only type of wine I seem to like, sake excepted, unless '$10 per bottle' is considered a type of wine.
And sake, it caused the Chinese Virus?
I should have noted yesterday for those who've never been racially abused, reacting is like scratching at a rash, perfectly understandable and justified but you step right into the trap. A fact can be racist, which is the fact the racists don't understand, but get someone else to worry about it, and ask them why they didn't deal with it in 2019 when we had the time, or why they haven't been campaigning to rename the Spanish Flu.
It's day two, and it sounds like you've already lost your mind!
I've been persisting on Japanese yams, which were the only vegetable in full supply at Whole Foods despite no one around here not being a racist obviously. It must be a bumper crop this year.
So you have left the house?
It was interesting, Whole Foods was lighter than usual - a lot of items gone - but I went at closing, and to be fair a lot of items were left, enough to feed city blocks. My perception of the shortages is that it's a shortage of stuff people want, not need, which is a good place to be for now. I worry that the misinformation about supermarkets suggests people might be less inclined to take news about other shortages seriously, which will lead to more of the real shortages being experienced around the country.
Anyway, I suppose one way to do your part is to go at close, and buy the food that's leftover, just in case other people need what you want. (This is based on my understanding that stocking happens overnight, so adjust accordingly if I'm wrong about the schedule.)
Maybe your neighbors know you want Japanese yams?
Hang in there, and see you tomorrow...
