I fried catfish for dinner this evening.  Hadn’t had it in forever. It was so good.  I didn’t do anything special to it.  Soaked it in milk and then just rolled it in Zataran’s New Orleans style meal I bought at Kroger.  Added a little pepper and Lawry’s to it.  Really good.

Lol. That was kind of my reaction as I was eating it. Sometimes you’re just in the right mood for something and it hits the spot.

But he was assured that the virus would be over in April, because of the heat....

It is not a good thing to surrender to schadenfreude.

Model - 1967 yesterday
Actual - 1255

Deaths US.  I think the models will be revised downward again shortly.

I'm following too. So far I'm "pleased" to see the downward trend, but I'll really be pleased when this is done.


I told my dock mates at the "party" Saturday that we'll be launching in June. That's what I believe. 

Governors extend the general stay at home through Memorial Day to avoid the parades and all that, while allowing certain non-essential businesses in certain areas the option to reopen.

This is along the lines of what I was getting at with my Alabama research the other day. I'm glad this data is starting to come out. People need to see it.

It's sad, and so predictable.  So many challenges for those in the disadvantaged socioeconomic classes, and crises like this one only magnify the problems.

I think we may see adjusted guidelines pretty soon, 10-14 days.  Whether governors and mayors follow them is a question.  I think some things can be opened up to an extent, just as grocery stores are open now.

We went to Costco this AM, not very crowded, 90% of folks wearing masks, full stock of everything I saw.  Premium gas was $1.69, I topped off the tank.

Costco has a lot of usual things closed like samples and the food area etc.  Anyone elderly or immune compromised should stay inside for a while I think.

Young folks may be able to get back to quasi-normal with limits fairly soon.  Restaurants might open with fewer tables available, especially outside dining.  Businesses might reopen with limited numbers of folks coming in at a time.

I haven't read the posts here lately. I have a few surgical masks for close encounters that I acquired in February when I intended to fly to Tucson to see my folks. Well, they didn't want to see me, now. 

Most of the masks I gave to my daughter who works in a grocery store while she is attending college.

Some of the masks I sent my octogenarian folks since they are more at risk than me.

I am considering inserting coffee filters into my bandanas as a makeshift mask.

My mom has made cloth masks for the whole family.  My wife is wearing them while she works as a PT at their outpatient clinic.  I wore one to the store the other day.

Really the sole purpose of a mask of this ilk is to prevent YOU from infecting someone else.  The protection it affords YOU personally is minimal, to zero.
