This COVID-19 virus is really setting some historical firsts.  Major cities shutting down, primary elections postponed, record-setting stock market plunges, intentional unpreparedness by this idiotic administration–and new lows of stupidity of the populace who believe their lies and continue life as usual.  While thousands die.

Our own TN reps are disregarding the facts and encouraging people to do likewise.  You can see it around you when you venture forth to do necessary errands, the contradictory complacence and panic.  At the same time, we saw something unheard of down here–church closings!  “No Sunday Services”!  The last bastions of Repug denial of science and defense against the “liberal hoax”, forced to comply with reality.  That has to be a new first.

Meanwhile, it’s (shock) pouring again, and the natural world has turned very green for St. Patrick’s Day.  I confess I myself have stocked up on the essentials of Guinness and other spirits (for “mental health”).  (And germ-killing in a pinch!)  With some states (Prohibition PA) shutting down liquor stores, it pays to be prepared.  When the viral zombies come for us, our arsenal of toilet paper and booze should hold them at bay for at least a week!

I don’t have any shamrocks or 4-leaf clovers, but here is some greenery in the rain.
