Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

Yeah, but you didn't die, so it doesn't matter. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Don't be soft. Don't be weak. Ignore it so that Karen can go to Applebee's and the SEC triumvirate of Bama, Arkansas and Ole Miss can keep contesting the Wallace-Faubus-Barnett Trophy for Excellence in Standing in the Schoolhouse Door.

@Hermes, I hope you're feeling well now.

@tapintoamerica, that's funny!

This is what failure looks like.

 

The governor of Florida issued guidelines for schools opening. I couldn't open the document for some reason, but apparently he says 'they're opening, masks are optional.' good luck.
