    Boris may be like our Governor, Larry Hogan. He didn't have much use for certain kinds of social spending, namely on the disabled. And then a family member became disabled. He now understands and supports the need for such funds.

    Some folks just don't get it until it hits home and gets personal.

    And some folks will never care.

    Aiawanese is a koan. He's attempting to enlighten us by shocking our minds out of their shackles.

    Work buddy's mother and dad contracted the virus. His mother suffers from Alzheimer's and his father is her primary caretaker. He got sick and infected her but because she was unable to communicate to him that she wasn't well, it just got worse until she lost all ability to move. She is now not expected to survive. He is going through a rough time.

    Fauci is on record having said they wanted to preserve masks for 1st line workers. Where does he get his information? Just sayin'. If anything to just to be reasonable, I could say that CNN fanned the flames of partisanship by arguing that Trump was a jackass about masks. Can you imagine it?

    Two new facts about the coronavirus have come to the surface in recent days. Unfortunately I don't have any links right now...


    • Those who got sickest and those who died all have traces of Neanderthal DNA. Those who were only mildly affected do not.

    • The virus isn't new. It was already around in Europe in the 1800s.


    Interesting discoveries...

    Fork me, that's not interesting ... In the U.S. those most affected are Blacks and Hispanics who tend to have none or very little Neanderthal variant.

    My daughter's mother and step-father are now infected with the virus. As for me, I had a weird experience last night. I woke up this morning with a light on in my bedroom, it wasn't on when I went to sleep last night...weird indeed.

    Do you sleep-walk? Is there a timer on an outlet?

    no for the most part I'm thinking the cat did it... But you ask me some troubling questions...I'm forgetting the exact terminology right now but I have a tendency to act out dreams when I'm under extreme stress like when my dad died, I gave myself a black eye jumping out of bed. It's scary because that kind of dream acting out can be symptomatic of Parkinson's Disease within 5 years but I've actually been doing this for a long time and according to some researchers though time doesn't matter that eventually it is a done deal. One of the diagnostic criterion is a 'sudden full awareness of the acting out' ... I don't do this, it is always more of a dream-state.

    Three types they don't count in that group, Narcoleptics or people that use anti-depressive medication, and people that suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome. I have experience with all of those. There is a genetic component to Narcolepsy which for my daughter is diagnosed, I do use anti-depressives, and I believe I suffered from PTSD for a number of years. So, who the hell really knows.

    In any case, as far as I know, nothing like that happened. It was just one of those weird things that happens.

    And there's more... The Guardian has just published an article about potential brain damage in patients who only exhibited mild symptoms.

    This is for you, NAP (re Parkinsons)

    So, until now businesses had the rights to turn away whomever they chose. Now? How dare they require masks!?!?

    People talk a lot about the 'price of freedom' to justify surveillance and screening and more. But wearing masks? Tyranny!!!

    People are both inconsistent and stupid.

    Surgeons have been wearing masks to prevent unwanted infections in patients for how long now?

    What diseases have surgeons acquired from this practice?

    Oh yeah, none.

    Why do folks in Japan wear masks? Because they respect each other. They respect their collective health.

    I lost my post ... nothing for me to worry about now in any case... There is a God, after all, and the source bears Good News!

    I just noticed I got a call from the Netherlands yesterday...
