I’m still torn.  250k have it and 7.5 billion people.  Have you seen this about numbers?

Well before you decide it isn't worth worrying about, put the big pile of rice on the top in an hour-glass......and go check again after your frozen pizza is done.     

2.00 to cross a toll bridge is no big deal, until you see the size of those bags of cash being taken to the bank the next day.     

2 dandelions in the yard today..... tomorrow you have a yellow lawn. 

I'm out of examples. 😅

I guess I’ll do what I always do.  Say my prayers and take my vitamins.  If it’s good enough for hulk hogan it’s good enough for me.

Well, I'm "social distancing" (doing my part to help as best I can).   

I certainly don't want it.    

Do I think this crap is going to carry on until July-August like some are saying?  No.    I think the spread will stop immediately as soon as it's warm enough to open our windows and doors.

I don't understand why Italy got hammered so hard by it.   Are things really crowded there?

I'll tell you what I hope this episode of crap puts an end to. 

Hand shaking!    When you think about it that is the stupidest thing ever.  How did that BS get started anyway?     Guys don't need to hold hands, bump elbows, or touch each other at all for that matter.   I don't feel the need to squeeze anybody's hand, and if you knew where my hands had been you wouldn't wanna squeeze mine either.   

Can we all just knock that rediculous $#!t off ?      I wish people would quit sticking their paws out for me to grab ahold of..... knowing full well that I'm gonna grab it just to keep from INSULTING them.    That's so freakin'stupid!

I wonder if fishing is considered "outdoor exercise"?

The order in San Francisco bans any acivites  that aren't essential: no drinking at bars, no haircuts by barbers and no dinner parties. Restaurants can operate only for takeout or delivery. Outdoor exercise is allowed, but gyms are closed.

I saw that and wondered the same thing.  
 

they are closing all bars and restaurants in the STL metro at midnight tonight.

I read there are quite a few retired Chinese living in northern Itlay. Somewhere around 350k. Probably lots of travel to/from China, family visits etc.
