Oye - I never heard of it.  It sounds like plesant viewing tonight
before I die of this virus this week.

I wrote all my passwords, locks  and banking information for my son if
he finds my body...

Meanwhile, I have been working up a short list of Start Trek episodes
that mirror this plague, including

The Naked Time
Miri
Operation - Annihilate!
The Deadly Years
The Trouble with Tribbles
and Carry On, Hawkeye

I am sitting here between conferences, and between the conferences I am
listening to these CE live credits for Pharmacist.. (thank god for X and
winmaker) and here is what sucks...

By next week I will be dead from this virus and I've spent much of my
final week staring at the computer screen listening to endless amounts
of medical dribble, and dealing with hysterics instead of doing just
about ANYTHING else....especially fishing.  If I was fishing now, I
wouldn't likely be in line to catch this virus.  I certainly would be
choking on my own regurgitated air from a mask.


I am reading a report today that says that this virus actually likely
came from a Lab in Wuhan... Imagine this.  The conspiracy crazies might
have actually gotten one right.  Either that or our resident expert from
the City of New York has completely lost her mind.
