We need a poll: is a virus alive?

I vote no.

Song covers that are better than the originals.

Few and far between... so much so that for me there really is only one standout...

I'll preface this by saying that I have an enormous love for Tears for Fears. "Head Over Heels", in particular, is a fantastic production. And "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" is an acknowledged classic. But, sorry to say....

This:

Is better than this:



It's so obvious to me that this song should have been slower paced as in the Gary Jules version that I'm left wondering "what were they thinking?"

A beautiful song in either case, though.

Where's Melania?

Not that I miss that lizard's creepy looking face, but she's been curiously absent, no?

Have you heard that China did this on purpose?

Well, that's what I've heard from three trumplodytes now.

"Why would they do that?", I asked.

Next door neighbor: "To make trump look bad because he was hurting their economy."

Brother: "Because their economy was in the crapper, so that's where they wanted ours to be, too."

Other brother: "They made it in a laboratory to harm us, they didn't mean to infect their own citizens but they don't care about them, anyway."

Not surprisingly, all three answers made perfect sense to me... in the sense that I was talking to three stupid people.

What do you do when snot accumulates and hardens in your nose?

A big pity about the lack of testing

So, I was sick back in February and I'm convinced I've got antibodies. A test would confirm that.

Now I still would keep my distance from other people but couldn't I be doing some of the tasks that need to be done, without fear of getting sick myself?

I'd rather be volunteering than sitting home like this.
