Tracey had a hectic day of phone calls yesterday as Fresenius goes into high gear for infectious control because of this pandemic. Lots of changes and restrictions and more than a few unhappy employees.

Just had a thought posting a comment on a tweet on your twitter round-up. Could Covid-19 be Chinas response to all the demonstrations they have been having for so many months. ?

There has been a LOT of speculation about the reasons and origins of this virus. Many from Mad Hatters who say specifically it is an attack on their fearful leader.
Personally I think it is just the natural outcome of Chinas disgustingly infectious outdoor markets where all manner of creatures are all together defecating and urinating without any hygiene.

I just finished our U.S. Census and it is amazing how it zeros in on Hispanics. Also asking detailed questions about living and marital status. And not in the least anonymous anymore.
This is foremost a mass marketing tool and secondly a way to inform ICE, by name and address, where every person of Hispanic ancestry lives. THIS is how they got around the question of citizenship.
In the section of *White* origin I put *American* for both of us and was surprised it took it. I am a bit surprised at the racism of the Census but perhaps it has always been there as I cant remember.

Tracey and I were just talking about this virus and that it is concerning how so many people have a cavalier attitude about it. They dont realize that it isnt just about them but about the older family members who might not survive it.
I said I was a bit worried with my #COPD that it might take me down. Tracey said she wasnt worried. She says if I got it I would be too outraged and grumpy to let it kill me. That I would cuss my way back to health. Im not sure how I feel about that.
