Amidst of the increasing COVID-19 cases here in NYC, the MTA is pushing announcements for good hygiene on its subway platforms. I was listening to a town hall meeting at work (I work in a hospital, after all) and my head was dizzy from the spin coming from leadership).

Of course, you have the typical jackasses still openly sneezing and coughing on the trains. Sometimes you just want to slap the living heaven, earth and hell of out people.
There's a lot of idiots it there.

Here at my work people are not taking things too seriously but we have had communication that anyone sick needs to stay home. Forced by management of necessary. Though not sure if management will be that forceful.

Also no more greeting people with kisses and handshakes. Yes both a thing here each morning.

There's still lots we don't know. This virus typically kills those who have health related issues, mostly older and those with respiratory issues, but it has also killed perfectly healthy young people

Lots of people here are doing the shoulder shrug and I set lots online treating like a flu when it's not.

However there's the other side of this. Those who panic. Hasn't quite gone off here but other counties have cleared out shelves of food and toilet paper (it's always toilet paper)

We decided to stock up a touch. I'm not scared about getting it. It's more to do with supply chain issues if people start to be forced quarantined.

Also my wife has mild asthma so she's a touch more concerned. So I'm doing my best to stay healthy and so is she.

We're going to keep living our lives but we can't control others. Closures and lack of supplies have to be considered.

I do hope this doesn't get more serious here but anything is possible. Also hope that it's only one ever than two... Though that's not typical. Looking towards the warmer weather and the end of this. Fingers crossed.

Vaccine too!

I'm not surprised. Anything and everything is never his fault.

Lying is what he does best. He's been doing it for decades.

It's unfortunate that there are people who don't see that.
Nothing surprises me anymore. These days I just want to see what the lay of the land is so I can work around and with it.

At this rate we will have archives and archives of future entertainment and drama for centuries to come with all the stuff out there on the web. There is so much news and fluff all over the place. Like above I am more better off focusing on my immediate grasp of my world around me then trying to make sense of anything else out there. Could you imagine if even FB or other Social platforms were less popular or even never in existence? Kids and young adults might be further along in their education and not worrying about debating the worlds flatness or the aliens at its center. Media would not be grasping for everyone's view etc.

I'm glad to be off for the next two days. With all the COVID-19 talk and the general grind at the hospital, some rest is required.

I was walking through an inpatient unit today and additional protocols are on display. While some argue that the flu has a higher body count, COVID-19 has ripped away that veneer of how interconnected modern life has become. The amount of people hurting from the fallout globally is just massive.

Mr. Clue and Rue might like this one.

Saw an episode of "Family Feud". Here was a survey question:

Name a place where you can see a lot of boobs: Congress (was one of the top answers).



Can't argue with that.

ROFL! That's hilarious and true.
