Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

"I like the numbers being where they are," Trump said during a visit to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday. "I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn't our fault."

 

Anyone else getting what should be kind of a depressing sense of how bad people are for the world?

'It's positively alpine!' Disbelief in big cities as air pollution falls

There's this, as well as the news that crime in Los Angeles (and probably other big cities, as well) has plunged, that dolphins have returned to the waters of Venice, Italy, etc. All this good news resulting from the coronavirus and all the lockdowns should give us pause. It's incredibly interesting, and telling.

I'm sure there are other trends that I've not seen, heard or read about, as well.

 

4.25% of the world population. 29% of cases.

Went to the movie theater but nothin's playing
When it's gonna be safe, they ain't saying
But all I'm thinkin' is these briefings
It's the same old story same old act
One step up and two steps back

It's the same thing night after night
They're wrong baby he's right
Another fight and more misinformation
Another grievance in a dirty little war
When I look at the president I don't see
The man I want it to be
Somewhere along the line we slipped off track
We're caught movin' one step up and two steps back

Cannonball Run, anyone?

Whoosh! That Car That Just Soared by Might Be Heading for the Coast

 

Except those dolphins were actually in Sardinia. Tempting as it is to buy in to the 'humans are a virus' memes going around right now, we must tread carefully. Just as with those spectacular videos going around of Anak Krakatoa erupting -- which were actually shot two years ago -- people sharing them might not have the best information.
Fake animal news abounds on social media as coronavirus upends life

 

People kind of suck, but then so do other animals. As much as I love them, cats can be throbbing, gristly cocks at times. Same went for Niklas "Are you eating my popcorn, fat bald monkey!?!?" Lidstrom the Shih Tzu.

Still, I prefer being human to being an amoeba.
