Not eating out in town for lunch, for the last 7 weeks, seems to have made a difference for the better. 

Et tu, Brute? 
 
Though in this context I suspect most of us look like brutes.

I really need a haircut

That might require surgery to remedy. 

Interesting article related to Stanford's Study on the virus.

This is what I'm hoping for.  Like I said earlier, I have two friends who were hospitalized with it.  I saw both of them during the period when they should have been infectious but not yet showing symptoms.  When I found out one of them was in the hospital for it, my throat immediately felt scratchy and I was coughing a little bit for the rest of the day.  Allergies?  A psychosomatic reaction?  Or do 95% of us shrug it off like it's nothing?

Into the Unknown from Frozen 2 has to be one of the crappiest Disney songs in recent memory

I'm not so sure comparing the virus death numbers to 9/11 is completely apples to apples.  There is more than just numbers associated with the 9/11 "brand", for lack of a better term.  There was emotion and malice associated with that date.  This is bad viral Pneumonia. 
 
We are also at a 1/5 of a Nagasaki for US Deaths.
15 Tarawa's
10.5 Annual SIDS
0.01 Auschwitz's
 
Just my 2 cents.

Oh come on! It's not like it wasn't COMPLETELY OBVIOUS that he'd come back as a zombie after he got swarmed by them on that away mission. They never found his body, so you KNEW he wasn't really most sincerely dead.

Didn't know so many Americans died in Nagasaki.  ;)
 
If it makes you feel any better, soon we can use units like Korean Wars.  Possibly even Vietnams!  What could be a cooler unit than Vietnams?

The Shadow of Saganami by David Weber.
 
This is an Honorverse book. That means it does not feature Honor Harrington as the main character. Instead it looks at different characters in the meta plot about the evil machinations of the Mesa system and the Manpower corporation. The executives of Manpower are trying to overturn a vote in a system where the inhabitants want to be incorporated in the Star Kingdom of Manticore. One of the planets has a set of terrorists who engage in a violent struggle while another planet has a group who engage in economic warfare. In the background another system is refitting warships to come into the area and take it over on Manpower's behalf. The crew of a new battlecruiser must work out whatv is happening and how to stop it.
If you like David Weber's Honor Harrington, you should like this. I did. 

You need a belt for that deep clean feeling

I've been using the garden hose as a bidet, my girl says that scares the neighbors, me I says "they're supposed to stay inside anyway aren't they?"...😏

The numbers are concerning when you look at what percent of patients who go to the hospital because of bad symptoms, cases are confirmed, then they die. (1-2%)
 
The numbers seem more manageable when you look at confirmed cases per million population.

A couple of pages I use for statistics.
