Oh boy, I just did the math because my browser was open when I went to bed. While I was sleeping another 117 people died due to the Corona virus. Its a very alarming feeling. :(

Covid-related since the big unveiling got scrubbed, but figured this will bring a smile to fellow Canadians (and enlightened foreigners)

There's a whackjob on my motorcycle messageboard who thinks that 5G caused it. :x

It's the weefees! You need to get a dreamcatcher, which will prevent the evil weefees from getting into your house!

(If you're running low on podcasts and need some weirder laughs, go check out QWRPline from LoadingReadyRun. And then probably just keep watching their stuff because it's good and they've got like a 15 year back catalog.)

It's day 1 of lockdown for us! We're only allowed out to go to the grocery store / pharmacy / hospital, for 21 days.

I live in an apartment block overlooking a busy 4-way intersection, where the whole world stops at some point for petrol (gas), 4am burger after a night out, 24 hour convenience shopping and so on. Clubs are 200m away etc. The full city living experience.

Today I can hear the sound of birds chirping that I can normally only hear at 5am. Birds are much more pleasant at 10am than 5am.

You know, that is a silver lining to this I had not thought of.

HA! That reminds me of a joke I saw on the interwebz:

Chuck Norris was exposed to the Coronavirus

The Coronavirus is now self-quarantining for the next 14 Days... :P

Alas, the virus isn't smart enough to target such people, so you'll get folks who wore their special tinfoil hat, didn't get sick, and treat it as proof.

Well, I'm hoping everyone here is doing well. These are certainly extraordinary times, but we'll get through it.

There's been talk that social distancing / physical distancing is working in B.C. And that's encouraging news. Add in the fact that there's some clinical trials going on to verify whether some antivirals will help treat COVID-19, and that there is at least one bio-medical company who has used Passive Antibody Therapy to manufacture some meds which are COVID-19 antibodies in pill form. So, there's good reason to be cautiously optimistic.

I know we're all under stressful times, and I'm far from the optimist. But, gotta try to be positive, because the other option isn't too exciting.

Stay home when you can, stay safe; binge watch your favourite shows when you can, and for those who still play, play some Trek online/lackey (is that still a thing?).

Peace out.
