This seems to me a very reasoned article about this madness: https://medium.com/six-four-six-nine/evidence-over-hysteria-covid-19-1b767def5894

And the word of the day is: HALCYON!

I think that is the opposite of what most of us are experiencing.

Best answer yet.

I am glad they can stay open.

I'm surprised BK was able to wait long enough after his Katz delivery to even take the pictures.

The library closure has been extended until mid-April.

At my work, the Admin and the union are going to meet on Tuesday to decide if they're going to extend our library closures past March 28. I'm thinking it'll go longer, but will we still be able to get paid for all that time?? That's the question. $:-\$

I have wondered if they will be able to extend the emergency pay. Vibes they do.

I just sent an email to my book group with a suggestion we skip our meeting on March 30th. I know I won't be going. If we spread out 6 feet apart I will never hear what is being said

DR George, I loved the video of Stella and the leaves. My little jock Stella would love that, too, I suspect.

Thanks, Larry! Videos like that are always needed!

Yes, it was fun to watch.

Saturday afternoon greetings! My major achievement today was an epic dust abatement in our bedroom. I hope getting rid of the dust bunnies under our bed will help our allergies. We don't want to be caught coughing and sniffling.

I already have had someone react as I sound stuffy.

Update on DoorDash and the Cheesecake Factory - not happening. No delivery times available EVER. You go through all the trouble of filling everything out, getting the APP for your phone, choosing endless delivery times only to keep reading "not available at that time" even going five days ahead, still the same, then seeing on the APP that there are no available delivery times ever. In other words, you can't order from there unless you want to pick it up, so why bother having the option to deliver if they can't. So, I went directly to Stanley's website - two options there for delivery - via "ChowNow" or DoorDash. Guess which I chose? Placing through Chow Now it went through instantly for an ASAP delivery and according to their website that should happen within the next half hour. No more DoorDash.

I guess DoorDash was busier the ChowNow, or has fewer drivers. Enjoy your dinner.

I want a piece of anniversary cheesecake.

Update on Stanley's: Hasn't arrived. Their driver, if I'm understanding correctly, never came back to pick up and deliver my order, even though he was supposed to. So, they're remaking it right now and hopefully it will be here by four-thirty or so, which is fine.

They just called and offered me a free dessert, but I didn't want that, so instead they're giving me a small starter Caesar salad, which I love. So, I love Stanley's.

DR elmore did you say how you are getting to the hospital? I don't remember.

Got takeout from a Southern restaurant I like. The chef recognized my name and sent out his thanks with the dinner when I went to pick it up. So sad to see the beautiful dining room all empty. I don't know how many people P.J. still had working with him, but my food was brought out to the car in some nice packaging, and it stayed warm all the way home.

John G. · « **Reply #137 on:** March 21, 2020, 04:53:53 PM »

I ordered shrimp and pork belly with grits, very buttery and topped with caramelized scallions, very filling. Strawberry shortcake for dessert was very good. The appetizer, pea hummus with raw veggies, can wait until tomorrow.

Right now, I'm watching Harold Lloyd in Safety Last. Amazing comedy. Great scenes of California at the time, including an undeveloped Culver City. And the gags are just fantastic.

We have a pre-purchased credit card at Beaches. I feel that we are helping them by not using the card right now. I do feel bad about not tipping.

Some of the clips of Harold Lloyd in the extras are hysterically funny. And often emotionally satisfying. One of my favorites is a one-reeler in which the poor Lloyd wins the girl at the end. He can't afford a ring, so he pulls out a pencil and draws one on her hand.

The difference is that our homeless shelter isn’t a full time thing run by professionals. It is a temporary 1 night a week during the four coldest months of the year, run by volunteers and basically is a meal in the church hall after which the tables are put away, the temporary cots are pulled out and people sleep in the same hall.

No medical staff etc In a pandemic it would be an extremely efficient way of spreading disease further
