“Unhappy it is, though, to reflect that a brother’s sword has been sheathed in a brother’s breast and that the once-happy plains of America are either to be drenched with blood or inhabited by slaves. Sad alternative! But can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice?” - George Washington, 1777

I am from New Orleans. This year, because my wife had never seen it before, we went to Mardi Gras. We didn't go for the final weekend- instead we went to the weekend before. It turns out that the Wuhan virus was spread in New Orleans during that time frame. My brother, his wife and daughter, my uncle, his wife and daughter, my wife, and I were all there celebrating the holiday. Not one of us has gotten sick.
I have the opinion you've practiced sanitary actions for a long time. The simple things, such as using a hand sanitizer, avoiding touching your face, and sanitizing bathroom fixtures kept you from exposure. While the virus is quick to find a new host, like all viruses, the simple efforts to prevent the spread of a contagion work.
ReplyDeleteI found a bar in the French Quarter that had a bar. I think that I drank enough alcohol there to kill whatever was nearby.

ReplyDeleteUnpossible!
ReplyDeleteCNN says that everyone died.
Therefore you're dead.
Don't forget to vote Democrat from now on!

The year of the Ebola scare was the only year I have not gotten a child or the flu. I practiced what I can "contact poison".
ReplyDeleteEvery thing that I touched that somebody else might have touched had a contact poison on it. I have to use the antidote (hand sanitizer) before I transfer the poison to my face or some other surface where it will "kill" me later.
I used a lot of hand sanitizer but no flu.
