I saw he was logged on a week ago for about an hour or so, but he didn't post.

That's just . . . wrong.

Too true. His sister's face reminds me of a beluga whale--minus the snout. That big-assed forehead . . . Never thought I'd see the word "chromosomes" on this site.

Kim just has that look of a lifelong fatty--someone whose default setting is obesity. I'm guessing he is gravely ill, but we may not know for quite a while. His sister is as odd-looking as he is.

It can't get any better than this, can it?

Okay, is there anyone here who thinks Kim Jong-Un is really on his deathbed as the media alleges? Granted, he IS obese, and I have seen video clips that show him smoking cigarettes, but . . .

Yes, but not so eloquently.

CoDaf, to your point, the LAST thing I would want to ride is a large bike like a Harley.

Jared, what about a Honda Grom or the new Monkey? They're inexpensive new, and have good resale value once she is ready to move up to a larger bike. They also perform more like a real bike than a scooter. Also, both are very agile.

Okay, this is good to know. I also read about the possibility that we can become reinfected, but there is too much to learn to conclude this one way or another at this juncture. According to Fox News, the majority of Ohioans feels that we are talking very prematurely about "opening" our state back up. DeWine's phased plan to reopen does not include schools until phase 2 rolls around, so I'm confident we won't have to risk lives by returning this academic year. If this turns out to be true, I'll continue to stay home. Not risking it.

NinjaDoc, please join this discussion when you have time.

Another thing that interests me is that it is unknown if this virus mutates like the flu virus. If it doesn't, almost all of us were immunized, and we were careful, wouldn't COVID eventually just cease to exist? Die off from a lack of hosts? I'm no expert either, but I'm very sure there will be dozens of books written about this pandemic, and I'll be reading all of them. There will also be a shit-ton of studies from the international medical community. Lots of learning will go on over the next few months and years.

Pretty strange. How was it?

Yes Bubs. Yes, it is. Motocat gets a free lunch and the neighbor will undoubtedly call and bitch until the restaurant sends out a replacement order. The key move here is for Motocat to retrieve the delivery container and quickly get back into his house before the neighbor notices. I once pulled up to the drive-thru window at a McDonald's and, instead of my humble $3 order for a breakfast sammich and coffee, was handed a grocery bag containing breakfast for at least six people. Yes, I rolled up the window and got the hell out of there. Later that week, at our small rural town's recycling facility, I was finishing up tossing my stuff into the bin and noticed a matte black item lying on the ground. It was a law-enforcement issue Gerber switchblade knife in perfect condition. Kept that, too.

It's the universe rewarding you for staying inside. Grab it before your neighbor does.

Free sammiches for EVERYONE.🥪

Too true! I have to laugh when the Cleveland Clinic sends me mail soliciting DONATIONS. Meanwhile, they redo the lobby and hold elaborate dinners/awards ceremonies congratulating each other for how well they did fiscally. It's nuts.

One man's trash is another's treasure. I likely won't be "around" to see any significant improvements to the system anyway. Maybe the answer lies somewhere between what we have now and what the rest of the civilized world is doing. As always, taking action to stay as healthy as possible is the best insurance. I was lucky to have had employer funded insurance my entire career. A neighbor of mine has four kids and is paying nearly $2,500 per month for COBRA insurance.

if Trump were a member here, he would be quite proud of how you skirted the issue with an inane comment. Shut off the TV and take a walk.

Chris, although I'll qualify for SS and Medicare in about eight months, I truly believe that this COVID-19 thing will result in an increased probability that our country will wake up and smell the coffee regarding the NECESSITY for nationalizing healthcare. This is long overdue, and if other countries can do it, we certainly can. I am embarrassed to be a citizen of the wealthiest country in the world that can't seem to get this done.

Ted, just curious about your choice of screen name.

She openly admits that the "numbers" are not and cannot be totally accurate, but the modelled downward slope of the *curve* is, as you said, much longer and less acute than the upslope.

This is also what Dr. Acton says. As far as collecting data, the numbers are elusive without testing. Also, today China "admitted" that their numbers of dead were underestimated by almost 50%, which is something most of us suspected.
