Okay, they have us by the short and curlies. Here I am sequestered neatly in my apartment, on my couch, waiting for a sign that all is well and the plague has lifted. I am reading the New York times what a drag, the Old Gray lady is more fitting. I have eggs, peanut butter, pasta and a frozen turkey leftover from New yea's Eve that I never made because it was canceled due to the flu... Ha, the flu! Does anyone remember that? The insufferable nuisance that sent everyone to get inoculated before it was too late. Grown men were weeping and elderly women left to spin in their wheelchairs.Today a good friend of mine called me from a hospital bed ranting about sore lungs and chest pains. She checked himself into the local hospital and was diagnosed for everything from the coronavirus to a heart attack; fortunately, it turned out to be the flu. Only the flu. who would think that having only the flu, was a blessing? She is now relieved and happy as a little cherub to be quarantined for 3 more days until her corona 19 something or other test is verified; (2 separate issues.) Bye, the way there could be possible internment here of 14 more days if things go wrong. If we hang on long enough spring will come and the flu season will pass. and all of this will be a media memory. media memories do not last long for reasons only oxford professors and sociologists can understand. either our attention spans are really short and underdeveloped or the bulk of the information being fed to us is seething bullshit. I would bet on the latter. Meanwhile noting is getting done and people are distancing themselves from each other.
Well have a nice day, and avoid Chinese food.
