Confirmed cases up about 25% again for the 2nd day in a row in my state. My county went from 2 to 4. Two of them are in nursing homes so you know how that will spread.
In my search and rescue training one of the major factors in those who survive and those who don’t is being able to look adversity in the face and having a ‘can do attitude’.
So in addition to trying to make as many good informed decisions on how I will live right now, I am taking advantage of this time to do things I can only do if I am effectively snowed in. Reading, thinking, praying, meditating, studying, planning, house projects, and deepening my relationship with my wife and kids.
The good news is that we have good internet and so there’s also a number of things we can do to advance some personal goals. As much as possible turning this into an opportunity regardless of how it ultimately turns out. And yes, while I will probably not smoke much for health reasons, one possible opportunity is to try a couple of new blends out that I have in my stash!

I am hopeful we will avert a 1918 type of impact, at least in some parts of the world. The mobilization of resources in the last few weeks is impressive, but we will have some pain. My friends in Switzerland and Italy already feel it where their case rates are nearing 1,000 per million and are taxing their medical systems. New York could be following that path too. This is likely to be with us through ups and downs for some time too.
The real concern is where there is poverty. If this ramps up in some African countries, it could get grim. There is some residual investment left over from Ebola for a few, but there are a lot of places where there just isn’t much to draw on to flatten the curve and save lives.
Interesting times indeed!

Illinois Governor Issues Stay-at-Home Order
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker has announced a statewide stay-at-home order aimed at stopping the spread of coronavirus. The order is expected to begin at 5 p.m. Saturday and continue until the end of April 7. Schools will also remain closed in the state until that date, Pritzker said. “We know...www.nbcchicago.com
I still have a working TV antenna and I get Grit TV (westerns) and METV( shows from the 60's to 80's) I am all set
Shit, you've got Perry Mason twice a day, you're all set.
I guess i will get 2 weeks off starting Friday. My vacation covers my time off. Have lots to do around the house and I have been neglecting my guitar. But I will be swimming in a sea of estrogen at home so thank you in advance for your prayers
Meanwhile, Im handing out eviction notices... (Against my will). It either has to be a stay at home lockdown or not.. this is some silly looking stuff.
Putting in 72 hours by Friday....and it is going to seem longer then that.
If you have Amazon Prime, there's a few programs with some good "chillin' out" nature and city scenes, to put on either as background or to watch. They are also nice if the weather or location prevents you from getting out. Some have mood music, some are just the ambient sounds. I've spent time watching Sunrise Earth (which, unfortunately, is not on Prime), which is HD programming of nothing but the sun rising in various locales, such as an old fishing harbor. I'd really like to get a Blu-Ray of the Norwegian "Slow TV" train program.
Some examples to check out:
Shinrin-Yoku: Terrific HD walk through an old Japanese forest.
Sunrise on the Bosphorus: Reminds me of the Sunrise Earth series.
Gorgeous Aerial Views

Around the World in 90 Minutes

Baked a cake last nite. I was thinking of decorating it to look like coronavirus but I've no maraschino cherries. ?
That and Firebomb the sh!t out of a civilian population. Yes that's what Winston Churchill did.
But still, it's odd that she wrote that moving diary of her's with a fine ballpoint pen. Fine ballpoint pens were not available before 1951. Gets the old noggin joggin'.
Godwin's law alert!
Godwin's law is an Internet adage asserting that "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches " sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Adolf Hitler or his deeds, the point at which effectively the discussion or thread often ends .
