...Now some state governors are closing restaurants.<br /><br />Zippy said he was going to "fundamentally transform the United States".<br /><br />Any more of these tin-penny dictators think they can do anything and the politicians are going to see a fundamental transformation this continent hasn't seen since 1861.<br /><br />Or maybe 1775.<br /><br />Or both.<br /><br />You want people really mad? Ready to get crazy? This is the way.<br /><br />You can't buy anything at the grocery store because they're all bought out by the hoarders. Can't go to a restaurant. They say take out is allowed.

The thing is, there was no testing for it until recently, and the symptoms are mild. Sniffles, sore throat, maybe a fever. In other words, it's an viral upper respiratory infection that happened to hit during flu season.<br /><br />Wasn't it just in December and January that the stats for the flu vaccine came out, and it was only 50% effective, maybe less? Huh. Wonder what the virus strain was that was hitting people.<br /><br />We are not going to die. It's not the plague. Don't panic, wash your hands, and stay away from sick people.

Problem. Wuhan would have been bad in in the US in the 50's and 60's and early 70's. Nowadays? Our air is very clear, which means all the associated lung problems from exposure to heavy smog have been correspondingly cleared. Seriously.

The pyres for the dead light up the skies at night. It's medieval. (h/t Maj. Tanner)<br /><br />I work at Boeing. My group have been sent to work from home. Friday Her Ladyship and I went to a local pub that just put in a pizza oven to try the grub. Very good, but the place was nearly empty. Very unusual. After I dropped her off I stopped by a local German pub. Slammin' and jammin"! Elbow to elbow. The only unusual thing was that they were not allowing us todrink out of our personal steins reasoning that since the stein would be only rinsed not sanitized, it could be a germ vector. Ok, that is fine.<br /><br />Tomorrow I go to the Boeing plant in Everett for a meeting. There have been reports of the flu from a city and a country we may not name, because that would be RACIST, in various Boeing plants, but I do not know of anyone directly affected. If I survive, I'll write.
