Thanks, Race.

Sometimes I go back to the early threads to see what I missed.

They are very useful.

Good advice from Old Isaiah.

That’s pretty neat.

With the property we just bought and all the woodlands around it, we could use something on woodland management and wildlife management.

In particular I want to know how to attract possums as they are tick vacuums.

Thanks for the link.

Ya think?

That’s the Catch 22.

We do something to slow the spread and it ends up not being as bad as the dire predictions of what would happen if we didn’t do anything to slow the spread, and then the flubros come along and say ”See, it wasn’t as bad as expected so we didn’t need to shut down after all.”

Not being willing to admit that it wasn’t as bad because of the precautions we took that they’re saying weren’t needed.

You just can’t win with some people.

That is horrific!

Prayers up for all New Yorkers, even Fredo, who was stupid enough to
bring his 88 year old mom over to dinner, when he had overt symptoms of Covid.

Possums love Meeow Mix.

I throw a handful out for them once in awhile, then enjoy my cats being scared so much, their tails fluff out.

Good to see some countries hitting a plateau.

You have been a doomed and gloomed from day one and the numbers on the ground just don’t add up to your hysteria!!!

Says the girl who is wearing out the caps button and exclamation button on her keyboard.

Nothing says hysteria like doing all caps and dozens of exclamation points.

FOTFLOL!!!

Just found out my sister was in Spain planning to go on to Morocco when the return home order was given. She said it was chaotic at the airports, with routes being changed so people couldn’t fly direct as they had planned and crowds crowds crowds.

She is now doing self-isolation and has been back for 21 days so is probably OK. Has been in the apartment for two weeks straight and is wondering how to do groceries with the services all tied up. She has a car but no mask.

But it’s not really just a matter of touching your face.

It’s the mucous membranes.

You can’t touch those as that’s the viron‘s main point of entry, not just the skin.

What’s supposed to be really good for chest congestion is old fashioned onion poultices.

I’m looking for habitat info to attract them.

But I will keep the Meow Mix in mind.

I’m happy for the report on your niece- she was getting prayers from several of us here I know. The relief in your family has to be great!

Best to her in recovery..

Very much! The prayers worked. She told her mom, "she felt like she was knocking on death's door at one time." She is now home under a self-quarantine.

We can't thank everyone enough for including our niece in your prayers. That was very kind of you and deeply appreciated!

Miserare,

Italy's new deaths / total deaths ratio is still in decline. How is your family there doing?

Every country on the graph below is looking better tonight. If this keeps up, I'm going to have to revise my projections.

Daily percentage of new Corona virus deaths to previous day's total by country. 25% = total deaths double every 3 days, 20% = every 4 days, 15% = every 5 days, 10% = about 1 week, 5% = about 2 weeks.

We had a kitty kennel, that we had kept on our back porch for our elderly cat to get some fresh air/sunshine, that had a bowl of Meow Mix, refreshed daily.

We’d bring the cat in, and, would notice that the bowl was either empty or scattered....INSIDE the kennel, on most mornings.

I checked our cams...and, sure enough....Mr Possum would REACH down, into the grid of the wire kennel, with his little possum fingers, and scoop up handfuls of MM.

If he missed...he’d just knock the bowl over.

Too funny.
