A virus targeting Boomers, almost exclusively, emerges.

Really makes you think.

I heard that it doesn’t hold back on infecting fake Christians, or white nationalists, either.

And if they’re young, the virus will just wait ‘til they’re older. ; )

COVID is an anagram for VIDCO. VIDCO is a “business” in Las Vegas that is located within a residential area. The preliminary testing, and the case was “confirmed” by the government VA hospital on 3/4/20, for the first "infection" in Las Vegas. If you take 20-4+3, you get 19. COVID-19.

Also, the address for this so-called "business" is 8628 Magnolia. 28-6-8=14. The current number of dead in the US.

They are dropping hints right in front of us, thinking we are all too dumb to notice what is really going on. What they don’t know is that some of us are paying attention. The odds of this kind of stuff lining up, and only being a coincidence are astronomical.

In Washington, we’ve had our first school district closure. It’s a relatively small district that straddles the King-Snohomish county line. I think it borders the school district where the Life Care facility is located. Other districts have begun cancelling after school events and programs.

The University of Washington will switch to online classes starting Monday. Major businesses are directing employees to work from home, as are government entities. I’m impressed with how the fact the big employers here are incorporating social distancing. Many of them do business worldwide, so they’ve seen what this looks like elsewhere. My favorite local game pub cancelled all group events for the next week, and will play things by ear after that.

As more and more cases develop, the larger government entries are increasingly unable to keep up with and reporting detailed information. My county health department is now my best source of information. They report the numbers of confirmed cases, deaths, positive tests awaiting confirmation, negative tests, number of persons hospitalized, number of people in home quarantine, and number of confirmed cases that have recovered.

Friends report continued shortages of masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, alcohol wipes, and toilet paper. I guess the latter is the one thing you don’t want to run out of.

There is heightened anxiety of availability of testing, schools, and the health of the folks in the life care facility. But nothing approaching panic or hysteria.

The state and local governments continue to advise rather than use their emergency powers. People are following the advice, so that’s working out for now.

Exception: the Emerald City Comicon is still scheduled to happen next weekend. That’s just freaking stupid.

I’d hug you, but I’m social distancing.

Big jump in worldwide numbers today. When will Trump declare the coronavirus to be fake news?


If we want to analogize to China, King County is Wuhan.

As of yesterday, the Clark County School District in southern NV has cancelled all out of state trips, and local field trips.

There are some rumblings in the local press that the child of the man who has now been isolated might be a CCSD student.

I stopped at the grocery store on my way home to grab some milk, and there wasn't any water, hand sanitizer, or rubbing alcohol. Curiously, all of the hand soap appeared to be untouched... :neutral:

In addition to the worst group of people on the planet, Boomers, adults with weakened immune systems (viral homosexuals), inherited genetic deficiencies like Gaucher disease (Dr Steuss’s tribe), and in poor physical condition (Dr Steuss) are also being targeted by this novel virus.

It’s all fun and games until you start to feel that scratchy tickle in your throat.

Is it just a cold? Is it Hep C flaring up again? Or is it the Boomer virus? Better go to the hospital and get checked out, just to be sure.
