Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

I can only imagine this group of women had just come from church.

Chili's hostess is assaulted over social-distancing rules; three women arrested, police say

 

We need a meteor to wipe us out.

 

Because of our country's and state's botched response, I think we're condemned to a situation where time is the only variable now. I'm hoping when my wife and I eventually wind up infected, that it's a weaker strain and not a lethal mutation.

 

That poor child.

 

Not surprised. Testing numbers are way down in SEC country.

 

Somehow these self statistics don't match the behavior that I observe daily.

 

In relatively non-important news, Tenet gets released internationally on August 26.

I really, really hope that this isn't the highlight of the lull Britain is experiencing. (For me, at least.)
