They ordered curb side pick up.
“Coronaviruss ability to mutate has been vastly underestimated, and mutations affect deadliness of strains, Chinese study finds”
As it is the SCMP, the study they are referring to is here:
“Patient-derived mutations impact pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2”

That is a bit of a bummer.
“Zuckerface is married to a chicom.”
Not sure about that. Priscilla was born in Braintree Massachusetts. She is ABC (American Born Citizen). Her parents were Chinese refugees who fled Vietnam when the Vietnam failed.
Good advice!
There were crows like that in Auburn, NY many years ago. We were there for a swim meet for the kids and I had to go out to the car for something and I felt I was in the movie, The Birds. It was very creepy.
They used to have a crow shoot until the bleeding heart PETA groups started in. Then for some unexplained reason, the birds dispersed to other towns and I have not heard much since then about them being a problem.
What I did when I had my pup neutered was I just handled him with gloves and mask for a few days, but I was not able to bathe him so I made do.
That’s right...I remember!
And, all is well (no CV for anyone) so far, right?
Thanks for that reminder.
May have to do the same.
I thought we were making progress, +2,238 deaths thus far today, probably going to hit 3,500.
Here’s what I think. The anti-body tests they are running are crap, there are even serious epidemiologists saying they’re practically random, they don’t work. As much as we think we’re almost through it it’s only beginning. There ARE NOT tons of people running around out there that have already had it and showed no symptoms. COVID-19 is a way of life now, it will never leave, always be a very real and present danger. It has and will have effectively changed life on this planet forever.
This winter the death toll is going to skyrocket. At this point I am thinking this was man-made, release perhaps by accident, nonetheless, it’s not business as usual nor is it ever going to be again.
We are a species that has f’d up the planet for us now. I think the future is robotics, as in robotic grocery store stockers, produce pickers, everything, machines will have to do the work we no longer can.
We will look back on this “we’re almost over COVID-19” feeling as the blunder of a millennium ...

What a hysterical statement. You want want to get another hobby.
We shall see, I’m betting I’m right on this, wish I wasn’t, but this thing is here to stay. Look at Italy with it’s over a month long plateau, it’s a way of life there now. Today will be the highest death count ever for the US and states like Georgia are lifting the ban and they are 6th in case load, suicide.
Re: 108 - thanks for posting that additional information.
Those birds are really dumb too. If you walk along a sidewalk with trees, the birds will fly out of the close tree and head for the next one. Over and over again. They have no way to calculate where you are headed. Lol
That is the way it looks. You stop the peak and plateau with a tiny downward trend. We may have to do that over and over until herd immunity. If you stop it in its tracks, you are today’s Singapore. Big jump in cases cause all it takes is one super spreader. All of that assumes true immunity is reached. But even then, how many people get the flu after taking the flu shot ?
Yep, you see exactly what I see. There is no herd immunity, we’re not in close, as in near zero. This will go on and on and on with no end in site, it will and is mutating, the medical folks act like they have a handle on it, they do not. Even in Italy with their extreme social distancing (now for a month) than can only hold it to a mere 600 dead a night or more.
The US is about to make it much much worse as states are starting to lift the band. This is a disaster as in most states this thing didn’t EVEN GET STARTED BEFORE WE STARTED SOCIAL DISTANCING.
We are at the beginning of beginning of this thing, life will never be the same, and China knows it.
