While you were all arguing with a troll, I was watching Queen Sono with my sister

(because Eva went to bed and we promised not to move forward on Riverdale without her.)

Highly recommend. Also, I've banned the dipshit - if you're gonna talk shit about the USPS, you should at least get your fucking facts straight. One of the problems with how it's run is that our taxes don't pay for it, not even a little.

I kinda miss talking about literally anything else.

But whatever.

By now I've read a few articles in a variety of sources that lead me to think that the NYTimes was on to something with their google search analysis and that itchy or otherwise achy eyes may indeed be an early sign of covid-19 for at least some patients.

I'm not shoving this behind a cut because I think we all need another potential symptom to worry about.

Here, have a Monty-Python-esque take on the politics of whole thing.

Anyway, now to cut down on some of my open tabs. If you're wondering, the answer is 220, counting this one.

So if we wait around for a vaccine we're looking at 18 months mostly cooped up

Which is awful. Of course, other people are suggesting we say "Fuck it, let the geezers die" and just go back to "normal".

This is a terrible idea in many, many ways, but if I know one thing it is that there is no shortage of powerful people who like to promote terrible ideas. If the unthinkable happens and the awful plan ever gets put into place, about how long would it be until everybody was either immune or dead, do you think?
