Well, back to corona talk... any highlights?
I think the local Whole Foods must be for particularly clueless people, someone actually stepped on my foot on Monday.
Did it hurt?
What? I don't care-
It was a joke!
This isn't the time for jokes, but if you must, I got one for you.
Uhhh...
I tell ya, I don't get no respect, I finally go looking for God, the church tells me "we're closed".
This isn't the time to incur God's wrath.
It's OK, I'm charmed these days, I mean explosions just happened on my block, like I literally used to walk past that manhole twice a day, and although I thought that was all she wrote for me, I made it, I'm here, so I know I have luck on my side.
OK, so you are listening to old Rodney Dangerfield clips, dodging debris, what else is keeping you entertained? I imagine you are setting a new reading record?
No books, no reading to speak of except right before bed, I think most folks assume I read a lot but as it turns out I just take the T a lot, and I read on the T.
So... what are you doing?
Well, I'm basically catching up on five years of internet. Do you know about Reddit?
Oh goodness.
I did hit me just the other day that we have, at least, two more weeks of this, and as of writing Governor Baker announced schools are shuttered through April, so I bet it's at least a month.
It's going to be a long time...
Any final thoughts?
I only listened to the first three minutes but I think I'll recommend this podcast anyway. It's from More or Less, a TOA staple, and has some good insight into the statistics behind the pandemic. Lasting thought - getting sick with this is like cramming a year's worth of mortality risk into two weeks, which is a really useful way to envision the problem.
Thanks for reading, stay safe, stay sane, and see you tomorrow.
