Emergence of a Deadly Coronavirus

How about head butting?

I don’t like handshakes especially the clammy sweaty ones but I find it has its uses. If someone reaches out to shake my hand I know that the person does want to interact with me but does want to interact with me in a formal way. That saves me worrying about incorrect, awkward or unwanted verbal introductions. I know I am going to be spared the far worse hugs, kisses, bro hugs etc. Fist bumps? A way of signaling congratulations, way too informal especially for an initial meeting or business meeting.




Some people seem happy that the death projections are dropping not because less people are going to die but because they have yet again owned the snowflake libs. First of all one should not claim victory until this is decided. Even if as seems likely in a month or two we are looking back in mockery or anger over “hype” one should not claim victory until one has won. The 1918 and 1957 pandemics had second waves in the fall that were far worse then the first ones in the spring. Should if this prove to be if not a nothing burger not the big whopper we will spend the rest of the election arguing wether social distancing was cause or an unnecessary tanking of the worlds economy.

Earlier an interesting theory was put forth as to why this is apparently less of a calamity the predicted that has nothing to do with social distancing or a bunch of hype from scaredy cats. The theory posits that the or a cause was that the epidemic hit the northern hemisphere just as the weather was getting milder and more humid. A test of this will be if the worse than New York predictions for the southern states resisting social distancing fails to materialize.

With the exception of Georgia and Louisiana, the southern states are faring fairly well.

3/4 of those admitted to hospitals in New York City have been discharged successfully.

New York now leads every country in coronavirus cases
