Given the particular empty shelves at the grocery store, the panic hoarders should have put on a good 10 or 15lbs by now.

We affectionately call my bread machine the ‘fat maker’.

i’ve got to find some low/carb keto recipes for bread machines.

I know I’m heterozygous, I think hubby might be homozygous but I’ll have to check with my inlaws to see if that’s a possibility. IIRC one of them is heterozygous and one is homozygous.

The Navy's prediction assumes CV19 has only a one-day latency period and that all its tests are 100% accurate. The latency period is usually 10-14 days but can be as long as 28-30 and, AFAIK, the tests for CV19 are only about 80-85% accurate. There could be a lot of false negatives.

"At least 840 Sailors assigned to the USS Theodore Roosevelt had tested positive for the coronavirus, and the number could climb as a “small number” results at still pending, the Navy announced Thursday."

Well he is assuming they did not have a secret military bioweapon lab. Why would they not start one after the US gave them a gain in function viral model ? Plus money to build it lol.

It’s party time next door. Family reunion all weekend with likely infected folks from who knows where. Yes, the work crew is also there with new guys. And, the tourists are out on the water early this weekend. Guess they want to beat the state opening on Monday and they have to go back to work. Yipee!

I’m staying in and bumping up the D-3, zinc, C and everything else.

Thanks, yes, I also looked at the Dentek product, and CVS and Walgreens have “house” versions. It should get me by for a few days, anyway. Got answering machine @ my old dentist’s office - no callback yet.

Based on this press conference, you’re better off outside than holed up in your home.

Excellent info. during Trump briefing on effects of various environmental conditions on, specifically, COVID-19. Sunlight + high humidity would zap it but good. Open up those dang parks!

Did you see this?

“Baltimore drs concerned over less Stroke and Heart attack patients”. Good Lord. It’s because they have them medically coded as Covid instead.! They are in there tho.

Could the virus be spreading by the meat itself?

They now say that pigs are among the animals that can catch this virus.

I believe this story

Please let this email leak:

[Blind Gossip] This TV guy is from a famous family and is a chronic attention seeker.

His take on politics and his conversations with one of his siblings have landed him in the news a lot lately.

While he has been trying to come across a likeable and relatable person, we’re going to tell you a short story about him that will show you that he is exactly the opposite.

He was at a swank party in The Hamptons last summer.

He met another guest at the party and the two of them started talking about their children.

The Guest, who is the mother of a special needs child, suggested that TV Guy do some sort of special segment on his show about children with special needs.

TV Guy seemed receptive to the idea. They exchanged email addresses.

A week or two later, Guest emailed TV Guy to follow up on her suggestion.

She received a response. Just not the one she was expecting.

You see, TV Guy had forwarded her email to someone else with his comments… but had accidentally copied Guest on the email. Whoops!

TV Guy’s comments were completely inappropriate, but Guest decided not to respond. She is just a regular person and she didn’t want to go to the mattresses with such a nasty individual.

So, what was so inappropriate?

His email said:

Check this out. This hag thinks I should do a piece on her retarded kid.

Yes, he called her a hag.

Yes, he called her child retarded.

This… is what TV Guy is really like.

This… is why TV Guy should be permanently banished to the basement.
