    OTOH, office supply stores, particularly office furniture, are really hurting. Not only is there lower demand, but so many places closed that there is a glut of used office furniture.

    I guess that's the thing ... and I agree with you. If I was working out at a Crossfit box, which generally is in a very small area with low ceilings, etc., I'd feel differently. My gym situation is probably as good as you're going to get in these times. High ceilings. Advanced filtration system. Limited people in the facility. If we ever somehow got to phase 4 in Virginia (spoiler, not happening), I'd be more concerned. I've also gotten used to lifting with a mask on, and I'd say probably 50 percent of people at the gym I work out at have adopted the same philosophy. At the very least, my mask is on when I'm walking between stations.

    It's not that people think the virus will change; it's REACTIONS to it that bear watching.

    As in, conservatives suddenly trumpeting any bad news, and, uh, places like this rejoicing over any positive news --- instead of finding ways to dismiss it.

    Oh fuck you're right, that's gonna suck.

    Fortunately I'm a contrarian so I'll continue to tell everyone they're wrong.

    As Olbermann says, it is the dominant life form on this planet right now.

    Although as I understand it these things are not even technically alive.

    Biden will be the world's most prolific heir in 2021 and beyond.

    When I did CrossFit at the gym, I always worked out alone. Me vs me.

    If Olbermann actually says that then that's Exhibit Five Bajillion and Two that he's just one more well-turned-out moron.

    The dominant life form on this here planet is of Kingdom Plantae ... only about 80% of the planet's biomass.

    Yep. At least the video today.

    In the old days we would have most certainly had a guy here who claimed to be a virus expert. I am not that guy. Whatever this is, it can't be contained by man.
