Well, there is a drawback for me. Still job hunting - I worry about getting an interview somewhere and bringing something malevolent home to my Mom, who's on O2. Then I worry about not getting any interviews...at all.

It was. Landlord lived off-site, but was thankfully very responsive. Still, I didn't really want to climb in that tub even after we'd washed it down with clorox.

Not even if the fecal matter of everyone starts backing up your toilet & tub/shower? My first apt in Chicago had that happen & we were on the second floor. I dread thinking what the first floor was like.

Any plumber will tell you, they're not really flushable. Yes they'll go down, but you'd better not have any roots in exterior pipes. And I've heard that the city water reclamation services really hate them.

Very weird Smackdown - no audience in the place. At least they didn't try to fake it & pipe in audience noise.

I am, and no - I don't know where that cat-o-log has been.

Anybody else's inbox starting to look like this?

I was just thinking... Somewhere out there is an immigrant entrepreneur who, with provincial pride, regrettably named their restaurant - "Wuhan Buffet".

Canadian PM Trudeau's wife has tested positive & both have quarantined.

Well, there were a few times where I bought frozen crap when I was working overnights that SAID it contained meat, but I had my suspicions upon eating it.

Great, now I see it too.

NBA just suspended their season. EDIT - apparently a player has tested positive.

'bout as much as China releasing it within their own country.

I wonder, if a vaccine is developed, will the anti-vaxxers still avoid it?

Decades ago, I think James Burke had a segment in one of his shows ("After the Warming", I think) where they interviewed some scientist on a certain plant pollen that was found when digging in the Arctic. The plant had long since gone extinct, but the question was - could there be any malevolent bacteria that was trapped in the Arctic that could wipe us off the face of the earth, should there be an Arctic meltdown? Maybe the answer was yes.
