My husband and I are taking turns playing Fallout 4.  I play when he is at work, he plays when he gets home and on his days off we play Age of Wonders III together.  In between, I am catching up on recorded shows and reading books I recently bought.  Unfortunately for me, I read way fast so I will run out of those pretty quickly then it's back to my home library and starting over with my series.  Still trying to decide between Sherrilyn Kenyon's Ichidian Universe, her Dark-Hunter series or immersing myself in Anne Perry's William Monk novels.  Decisions, decisions. 

If all else fails, my sister and I will play Quiddler or Scrabble.  Can't talk anyone into playing Trivial Pursuit with me, ha ha. 
I use the Kindle so getting new books is easy for me. But even with Amazon prime, it's only a 1-2 day wait.

I do words with friends because nobody in real life play will scrabble with me.

I get to return to work Monday, with 980 kids and 100 staff coming back from Spring Break.  Unknown how many kids and their families traveled to California, Mexico, etc.  Unknown if they've done a damn thing to avoid getting sick.

Lucky me.

In 7-10 days, I think we will probably have some "reliable" information instead of ridiculous rumors and partisan spin.  My GUESS is we'll be adjusting by then and largely back to quasi-normalcy with additional precautions.  We were out walking and while there were a lot of folks out and about it was probably about half "normal" for a nice day hereabouts.  We went in Whole Foods and it was probably half normal.  They had plenty on the shelves.  The bar next door to us is full right now.

The public library closed for a while on us.  Bummer.  The art museum has closed.  I presume the symphony is cancelling, I have not heard from them.

The botanical garden was open yesterday.  They had a guy opening doors to the orchid center for everyone with a rag and spray bottle.  The park is pretty close to normal.

I worry about the smaller restaurants around.
To avoid that, trust Anthony Fauci.

An old saying is "A recession is when your neighbor loses his job, a depression is when you lose your job."

Statistics for most are largely meaningless unless personal.  If a LOT of us knew people killed in car accidents each year, folks would be more upset.  No one I've ever known has been killed in a car accident.  The figure used to be 50-60,000 a year.  It's the same with all categories of risk.  Few humans deal well with probabilities of that ilk.

We say that driving is more dangerous than flying.  Each flight disaster makes the news, a car accident makes the 11 PM news, perhaps, unless it's a busload of kids.  A shooting of 3-4 people barely makes the local news, a mass shooting of 50 is news for a week, or more, even if they are somewhat rare (thankfully).

When I was a kid, quicksand worried the heck out of me.  I've never seen any.  Most of us die of issues associated with obesity or pulmonary issues.  Think how dangerous smoking is for your health, and 20% of us do it routinely.  My Grandad smoked for 60 years and just died of old age, they think.
The U.S.A. had taken many steps not mandated by the federal government, and so I do have some optimism since the federal response has been opposite of robust.

The weather here is quite warm, we hit 81°F yesterday, so folks can get outside.  One's kids can play in the yard etc. some of the time here.

They will whine if they can't go to Johnnie's house of course.  Will we at some point experience a trucking disruption?

We could read up on what virii actually are.

The slightly longer story is that most viruses consist of three key building blocks: ribonucleic acid (RNA), proteins and lipids. A virus-infected cell makes lots of these building blocks, which then spontaneously self-assemble to form the virus. Critically, there are no strong covalent bonds holding these units together, which means you do not necessarily need harsh chemicals to split those units apart. When an infected cell dies, all these new viruses escape and go on to infect other cells. Some end up also in the airways of lungs.

Soap is interesting, it was made back in the day from fat and alkali usually from wood fire ash.  The fat is saponified, something that rips off the glycerol attached to it leaving a charged end (COO-).  One end remains fatty, olephilic, and the other is charged. In water, it forms micelles, with the charged ends pointing out and the fatty parts pointing in.  Any fatty stuff in the water tends to get trapped inside the micelles.

Detergents do the same thing but are made synthetically (from oil etc.).  So, soap rips apart the lipid (fatty) component of a virus and the rest falls apart.

That's the thinking around some folks in our biz.

Our BCP already has us working apart from each other through end of April.  Some other units will do this through May.  We simply cant close down no matter what,  hence some very aggressive measures.

Watching the 2015 A-10 championship between Dayton and VCU. Randomly googled a guy for VCU named Mo Alie-Cox. Apparently he's a tight end for the Colts now.
