Yes, the days are running together. Back in the day, I have pickleball and golf to keep me somewhat mentally aligned with the true day of the week.
I don't have a lot of news to pass on. The wash machine is still leaking - a job for another day. We did manage to get the laundry done, so there is no real hurry there. I was going to hit some golf balls at the school, but got there and was rained out. Didn't want to soak my shoes and freeze me feet. The stock market is up again. And the news, what I see of it, seems to be mixed.
The federal response to Corona was unprecedented in my life time. When the smoke clears and assuming we have no vaccine what will we do next year? The head task force guy (not really sure about his title and I'm too lazy to look it up) is talking about seasonal uprising as the flu does. (Life Pro Tip - there is empirical evidence that this rise is due to the lack of Vitamin D! So get out in the sun and or take your supplements!) So will we shut down the country every year for 3 months? Kind of expensive especially if Congress votes themselves $39,000 salary increases each time.
There is a guy who looked at the numbers. His take is that while the death rate from Corona is higher than the flu, the infection rate is about 160 times lower. The flu is the bad actor based on that. Basically, if those numbers are true, we should do nothing. If we find a drug that heals or a vaccine, that's inexpensive and easily doable, so, yes, do that. But shutting down the economy and have a million new folks on unemployment compensation is too much. Others are interested in the new roles that government might decide to take on... They rarely contract.
Still cold here in Northern California. Rained some. We're still cooking. We did tilapia again tonight. Quite nice, pan fried, with a complex tossed salad. We will try to tackle some of the beef tomorrow.
