We had a suspected case of the coronavirus virus in the town where I work. Mind you, just suspected. And people bought out all the medical masks in town. They would've been better served to just go get a flu shot. Turned out it was not the coronavirus after all. The PTB haven't said what it was, but I suspect cedar fever myself.

Sophia - I use a netipot when I get a bad cold/sinus infection. I find it really does help clear things out. A little gross but, speaking from experience, way better than sinus surgery.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, Tom.

Our wings are not tired.

Go msbelle! Awesome that you got to see Zen. Baltimore! So excited for you.

Be~left~alone~ma for Tom.

Living in an area with lots of tourists and world travelers I have minor concern, but not enough to make me change my lifestyle. Traveling to China would give me pause.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Ugh, I know the rationale, but I hate hate hate having to prepare a resume for a client's benefit when I've been gainfully employed by the same company for three decades. The last time I was looking for a job, Debbie Gibson's "Shake Your Love" was charting on the Billboard Hot 100!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Ugh. The former principal on ltc's future school was just arraigned on child pornography charges.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Holy shit, sj. Do you think that's why they're the former and not the current principal?

No. I don't think so. He left to become a professor at a local college about 5 years ago.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Oh no, sj. That's awful.

msbelle, you are a force of nature. I'm in awe.

I am not panicking but I am concerned, moreso because China doesn't have a reputation for giving accurate information.

You're right, askye. I thought about the posts I'm seeing here (where there is panic), and in Israel we still have universal healthcare, so the situation is different.

Ewwwww! But am glad to see "former" and "future" in that sentence.
