All I can say about it is that it really scary. I hope and pray this does not happen at all. Stupid virus!

Overwhelming serenity sounds blissful though. I think I’ll go outside a bit.

Some overwhelming serenity here! Earlier this afternoon, our little flock of free range chickens started making a huge racket and I rushed out to investigate, to find of all things a red fox in the yard. One group of chickens was attempting to hide near the house and another was scattering away from the fox, but none were yet “in mouth”, so to speak. Our dog was still asleep!! I had not grabbed the .22 rifle on the way out - lucky for the fox, as he just stood there and looked at me until I rushed him, yelling, and then he took off. I turn around and our dog is lazily rousting himself, making a big stretch and looking at me as if still half asleep. (Maybe he was.) I said a few choice words to the effect of “some **** good YOU are!”, went in and got my daughter, and we surveyed the yard: No batch of feathers and no chickens missing. They were lucky!

When I ran out I expected the chickens had been spooked by a hawk (even a vulture flying over can do it), or maybe a stray dog. The red fox in daytime really surprised me. One more thing to worry about - sheesh!

My feelings as well Chris. 3% doesn't sound like much, until you realize that's 3% per day, compounded daily. Then you begin to understand why the numbers increase so rapidly. And I think that's about the best we can hope for without a cure or vaccine. That's about were Korea and Italy are at now.

Since Korea's total number of fatalities are low, unlike say Italy, their daily death rate isn't that great, but it will continue to climb until the virus runs out of hosts, herd immunity is reached, or a vaccine/cure is found. :(

Your input/commments/questions are always appreciates sir! Btw, I'm quite sure there's probably a big bass hiding under yonder bank in the deep part of that creek you often visit. :)
