For reasons I cannot even begin to fathom, I keep walking around the house singing 'Corona Virus, where people disappear' to the tune of Bermuda Triangle by Barry Manilow.
It's driving my missus crazy and she's threatened to kill me on several occasions, but it's hard to stop after it's in my brain.
I really need things to get back to normal quick smart.

Theres a vid doing the rounds weeks ago of a bald guy singing coronavirus to copacabana. Very difficult earworm to stop once it starts.

Have fun.... From what I've seen (on the news), it looks like the test goes quickly, like a punch in the face. Hopefully, you will not end up in Queersville.

I forgot to put the queersville link in:



Edit: Forgot to answer some of your questions. I'm sure we will only be tested once, not weekly at least for the foreseeable future. The state is making its rounds. I'll have my results in 3 days. No one at my facility has had Covid 19 to our knowledge. How my employer handles it I don't know. But I would assume I'd have to take my PTO's or lose my income.

It's good to read that your state is ringing the bell and making the rounds. Who knows? Maybe you (or someone else) had a mild case, and are in the clear now.

Well waited in line for two hours but got tested. It was over in a blink of an eye. The moment you might feel discomfort its done. No big deal at all. Now the nervous wait...

I'm posting this here because so little has been mentioned in the mainstream media about the *origins* of pandemics such as the one that is currently affecting so many. This presentation was made approximately 12 years ago, giving it a special kind of prophetic power and relevance including what could potentially happen again even after the devastating effects of Covid-19 become history. Think of it as a highly informative and pertinent documentary. Comments from those who have watched it are more than welcome.

Arthur, I find it absolutely incredible that it's been about half a decade since the ebola outbreak in West Africa, when it seemed all hell was about to break loose. I followed events then with an internet microscope and my biggest worry was that the virus would break out due to air travel. This incident was scary because ebola had somehow migrated from central to western Africa across a substantial piece of the sub-continent. Then there was this hair-raising incident in which you can see the seed of what we now have being planted so much closer to home:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-29696011

I am angry with western governments because the 2014/15 ebola outbreak in West Africa was a dress rehearsal for what is happening right now and as it turns out, that breakout was as nothing compared to the Trojan Horse we allowed across our borders - too late now! Dr Stella Ameyo Adadevoh lost her life to dam the virus and prevent it spreading further outside of Lagos - yet no one batted an eyelid. Ebola is now a never ending story as far as Africa is concerned - the Congo is one of the most geo-politically unstable areas of the earth. We keep on seeing it rearing its ugly head. And, oh yeah, Sars Cov-2 and it's manifest disease, Covid-19, is the even bigger kid on the block that was unheard of half a year ago. The point is major outbreaks are now the norm, which means that world travel will have to be seriously adjudicated.

I find little humor in this whole ordeal, but a friend sent me an e mail that has been circulating, and I did find a few chuckles in it. Enjoy.

“I hope they give us two weeks notice before sending us back out into the real world. I think we'll all need the time to become ourselves again. And by "ourselves" I mean lose 10 pounds, cut our hair and get used to not drinking at 9:00 a.m.

COVID monthly budget: Gas $0 Entertainment $0 Clothes $0 Groceries $2,799.
Breaking News: Wearing a mask inside your home is now highly recommended. Not so much to stop COVID-19, but to stop eating.

Low maintenance women are having their moment right now. We don't have nails to fill and paint, roots to dye, eyelashes to re-mink, and are thrilled not to have to get dressed every day. I have been training for this moment my entire life!

When this quarantine is over, let's not tell some people.

I stepped on my scale this morning. It said: "Please practice social distancing. Only one person at a time on scale.

It may take a village to raise a child but I swear it’s going to take a vineyard to home school one.

You know those car commercials where there's only 1 vehicle on the road - doesn't seem so unrealistic these days ...

They can open things up next month, I'm staying in until July to see what happens to everyone first.

The spread of Covid-19 is based on two things:
1. How dense the population is. 2. How dense the population is.

Appropriate analogy: "The curve is flattening so we can start lifting restrictions now" = "The parachute has slowed our rate of descent, so we can take it off now.

People keep asking: "Is coronavirus REALLY all that serious?" Listen up, the churches and casinos are closed. When heaven and hell agree on the same thing it's probably pretty serious.

Home school Day 12: I'm trying to figure out how I can get this kid transferred out of my class.

Put a drink in each room of your house today and call it a pub crawl.

Okay, the schools are closed. So, do we drop the kids off at the teacher's house or what?

For the second part of this quarantine, do we have to stay with the same family or will they relocate us?”

Some real gems in that, joan! Try to keep smiling. It's bloody hard at times though.

We hadn't seen her since all this happened.fjnniest thing she said was her auntie has not been able to keep up the beauty treatment. So take tan is wearing off, hair colour growing out, town and finger nail- some.half done and alternating with totally blank one.And eyebrows that are horseshoe shape. She said she looks like a
sick clown. big grin

I think these are my favourites!

Terrible. Vanity and sex appeal are getting hit hard by the virus and lockdowns. The human race may never recover.

Thanks Graham. I think my favorite is the one where after home schooling, a parent wants to have his/her kid transferred to another class.

I've talked to several parents and grandparents who are trying to get their children to do lessons that are on line. They say their children are unmotivated and don't want to do the lessons. Constant bickering. They ask me how to motivate those little darlings. (A hot branding iron? Kidding.)

Those same people should try to inspire and motivate 25 children in one room. All those who have called me have said that they really appreciate teachers a lot more now. Good.
