For now, I'm diagnosing allergies and not something more serious. Still going to stay isolated for a few days, just in case. Called the housekeeper and told her to stay away.

You're really supposed to lube that up before, ah, insertion. EW has that FSM link in his sig

Some light hearted humour in an essentially sh1tty situation:

**************************
Due to the current upset situation caused by the Corona Virus in the
economy, the Government has decided to implement a scheme to put
workers of 50 years of age and above on early, mandatory retirement,
thus creating jobs and reducing unemployment.

This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).

Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to the Government to be
considered for the SHAFT program (Special Help After Forced
Termination).

Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the
SCREW program (System Covering Retired-Early Workers).

A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as
the Government deems appropriate.

Persons who have been RAPED could get AIDS (Additional Income for
Dependents & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel
Early Severance).

Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or
SCREWED any further by the Government.

Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much sh1t
(Special High Intensity Training) as possible. The Government has
always prided themselves on the amount of sh1t they give our citizens.

Should you feel that you do not receive enough sh1t, please bring this
to the attention of your Congressman, who has been trained to give you
all the sh1t you can handle.

Sincerely,
The Committee for Economic Value of Individual Lives (E.V.I.L.)

PS - Due to recent budget cuts as well as current market conditions,
The Light at the End of the Tunnel has been turned off.

China is already preparing for the 2nd wave of the virus to hit. They are talking about all the people coming back into China from hard hit countries with the virus. Bringing it back with them. They are already blaming these countries for the 2nd wave.

You don’t think there are some in China who are blaming the west for the first wave?

Chinese are typically obedient people (they may not want to be, but they mostly know what the consequences of not doing as the government instructs can be). So when they are locked in their homes for 7+ weeks for the greater good, they accept it. They don’t congregate on beaches or in pubs. And when they come out of 2 months forced hibernation, they will know better than to allow it to come back through carelessness. Or to permit foreigners to bring it in. I’m not sure we are that smart.

China will be back on its feet while we on this continent continue to make mistake after mistake (as we already have in the nearly 3 months that our governments and their scientific advisors have known about the disease) in addressing this. By delaying as long as we have done, not having a decisive and consistent response, and pondering a return to business as usual far to soon, we will be allowing the Chinese tiger to become the undisputed largest economy in the world on the back side of this crisis.

China is trying to spin this anyway they can do make their self look good. They blamed the US Army for it. They blamed Italy for it. Who's next? China said that they are helping out other countries hit with the virus. Problem is that they are charging these countries for the medical supplies. People think they are doing it for free. China sold Croatia and other countries test kits and other medical supplies. Most of it didn't work. You don't think that this chit isn't coming back and biting them in the azz. Companies were already planning to move out of China to begin with. This will only speed up the process. The supply lines are moving out of China. Companies realized that they have put all of their eggs in one basket, and it got crushed.

I've always felt that if I'm going to make a deal with some form of superior being, I gotta keep it realistic. Worst thing you can do is overpromise something to an omnipotent being. They'll deny your request before you even finish it.

My prayers are typically in the form of, "God if you do ______, I'll flush the toilet next time I'm in a public bathroom" or "God if you do ______, I will try to not get angry at the next customer service rep I speak to on the phone." You know, try and keep it within the realm of reason

Well, making a deal with God isnt exactly encouraged, but desperate times calls for desperate measures.

I've never been in a foxhole, so I don't even know what desperate is. I was thinking more like praying for a made field goal or traffic to clear up or something
