"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It sounds like she's in the 90% (or is it 80%?) of people who just feel like crap for a week and then recover.

That's definitely been the way it's presented with her so far. None of those high spiking fevers. Even the cough has been manageable.

She's been isolated in the bedroom since she got the fever, and was already working most of the time up there.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm hearing that Ohio's governor is going to have a press conference at 2:00 today and is going to shut the state down. Honestly, it needed to happen a week ago. I hope it's not just a rumor.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Oh, no! Health~ma to JZ.

hip deep in pie

Health-ma to JZ and Quarantine-ma to you and Matilda.

They've just declared a state of emergency here. No gatherings larger than 5 people, and giving the cops the ability to fine those who are defying orders around assembly and social distancing. They're also shutting the border to non-essential travel. (Being a peninsula, it's pretty easy to control the main routes in, if you want to rock up to a beach on a boat, you can probably make it in.)

We've only had 28 cases confirmed so far. So they're trying to get ahead of it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Lots of health~ma to JZ and the whole family.

Because books.

Yikes, Zmayhems! Here's hoping JZ heals quickly and David and Matilda are okay, too.

I feel like "stir crazy" is going to get really real for a lot of us really soon.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It's looking like an early sign of the virus might be losing your sense of smell (and taste, by association), especially before you get any other symptoms.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm so sorry! Here's hoping the symptoms stay manageable and that the quarantine doesn't make you all crazy. I'm glad you solved your tech issues. You can always play battleship from behind closed doors! I'm confident your family will find creative ways to socialize with safety.
