Girard442's JournalIt occurred to me that some day soon many people with immunity...
...(because they had the virus and survived) will be able to walk freely through the world and mingle with other survivors while many other people will still be sheltered in place and in fear. If you were writing a sci-fi novel, this would be an interesting premise, but it's really going to happen.
Every little bit helps.
Just watched the John Oliver show and on a stock photo of a hospital scene, one of my company's infection control products was clearly visible.
Yeah!
Somebody recently accused me of "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
Gonna to wear that like a medal, right next to:
Hitler Derangement Syndome
Pol Pot Derangement Syndrome
Rwanda Derangement Syndrome
Jeffrey Epstein Derangement Syndrome
Bill Cosby Derangement Syndrome
Enron Derangement Syndrome
I got lots more.
Do you believe that the Harry Potter books are an allegory about intelligence?
If you think about it, building a cell-phone system or creating computer technology must seem like unfathomable magic to lots of people.
Relevant to our current dire situation.
Making the best use of a big monitor.
At home I have two monitors on my desktop system and it's a dream. Run one app in one screen and another in the other. 1001 uses. At work, I have a nice big monitor. I run one application almost continuously and a motley crew of others off and on. I've taken a few stabs at trying to divvy up my screen real estate on my big work monitor to approximate the the two monitors I have at home, but the endless adjusting and resizing made me want to chuck a brick through the screen. Anyone else have a setup like this that they made work smoothly?
On Edit: I should have said I was using Windows 10. Forgot. 
UV light and viruses.
Several years ago I was working with an electronics contractor who was also working on a project to treat drinking water with UV light. This was a big array of (I'm vaguely remembering) 48" UV tubes in some sort of protective enclosures. The water to be treated flowed through the array tubes. The whole thing looked sort of like a prop nuclear reactor in a low-budget sci-fi film. Mind you, this wasn't that friendly black light that you used to make your Grateful Dead posters glow. This stuff would tear the paint off a Mack truck.
UV light used to be a thing in consumer sanitation a long time ago, but I'm guessing it fell by the wayside because of the hazards. I'm kind of wondering now if we should reconsider. Would it be possible to have an air cleaner where air, not water, flows through an array of UV lights? Would it even be worthwhile?
Also, might there be a way to use UV to safely disinfect surfaces without risk to people's eyes? I see banner ads for these gadgets. I wonder if they are any good -- and safe to use.
Donald Trump wants Americans to gather on Easter Sunday to rejoice together.
Kool Aid will be served.
I've always thought that secession was a deranged and destructive idea.
Are we getting to the point where it will be the least bad of all the bad alternatives?
He really is about to tell his base to drink the Kool Aid.
And they will. We always knew they would.
So, as it's likely to happen, Trump lavishes attention on the red states when it gets bad there...
...do those people really think that all that be forgotten when this situation is over.
If that happens I wouldn't vouch for the safety of someone with red state license plates in NYC a year from now.
