He needs to take advice from Dr Joe and put a condom over his head

Maybe it’s the well done steaks with ketchup that gives Donny the superpower?

That gym thing they did in Hong Kong is very good.

Paranoia caused by the news media about all the stuff in the modern world that will kill you has created a nation of hypochondriac wimps.i I grew up worried about something truly lethal… nuclear war with the Russians. Everything else from killer bees to Roundup is trivial.
So you are worried about a .5% chance of dying from covid19.
I remember the Cuban missile crisis. There was a 33% chance of nuclear war.

My parents got their house because the seller panicked and moved to Australia.
Here is what it would be like if a big bomb hit NYC as viewed from Albany, 150 miles away. A bit worse than covid19

We were one bad decision away from total annihilation in 1961-1962. Now we are paralyzed by a bad flu, pathetic. Kennedy didn’t know that local Russian commanders were allowed to unleash tactical nukes without
approval from Moscow. Now our whole economy has been destroyed by the nanny state. The moral hazard of socialism has been unleashed. Free rent. Money for staying home. Legitimate business people jailed, prisoners freed. The genie is out of the bottle. The great American democratic experiment has been destroyed by a virus.

Is French Laundry taking reservations?

Have you ever eaten there?

No, too cheap and too impatient to book 6 months in advance.

Remember that guy media guru? Wonder if he still lives in Napa.

I doubt it. He was too cheap to go there and me to. But I am going to Evans tomorrow. Reasonable… about $100/person including wine and desert. We know the owners well. Dining with the former city manager. Will get the scoop on the city politics regarding covid19. They have foie gras, duck, filet mignon. Americanized French food.

At least they manage to keep shops open. Who cares if people drop dead? What’s more important than getting one’s hair done?

Meanwhile shit is getting real in Brazil under Trump 2.0. Corona is taking a winter break in Latin America. Will come back meaner than ever back to ‘merica in the fall.

Article saying thing that is expected. The bet is shorter duration. Verdict is still out.

Vitamin D looks to be protective. The closing of schools is likely to result in lower Vitamin D levels in kids–I bet it CV19 goes through the summer.

Of course Sweden’s rolling average looks high - it got there late. CV-19 has already worked its way through the other countries.

In a country like Brazil the risk of deaths from economic privation is much higher than in more developed countries. Thankfully they have leadership which recognizes this.
