Jaws

do you remember the Mayor in JAWS that was so worried about the economy that he said it was safe to go back in the water.

Just Saying

What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, an viral machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is float, infect and make little coronavirus, and that's all.

And that, in a nutshell, is the issue.

Actually it’s a modified quote from the movie 😉

Is it just me or does Richard Dreyfus always seem like a pompous ass?

Still alive, I see. 😉

Hoping you and yours are well and dodging the virus and its witless spreaders.

This crisis had me thinking of the end of War of the Worlds and how microbes were the Martians' undoing. I'm not sure this virus will be humanity's undoing, but it is certainly churning up some interesting responses and giving our systems a good shake.

If it were something like airborne Ebola with a two-day incubation period before the sick workers exploded into infectious blood dust, the saviors of the economy might be crooning a different hymn.

Which I suppose makes me an optimist.

Not until it comes up & bites you on the ass.

I love it when you talk dirty to me 😋

The t,v, here in Ingerlund tell's us incubation between 2 - 14 day's. Ah I see now! For the foreseeable future (until there is a cure) I'll stay a Hermit - Merry F Christmas & a Happy New Mass grave 🚬☣🪒 ya'll...

I have partaken in a few beers called Pompous Ass and it’s quite good in spite of it’s unusual moniker.👍👏👌

He had a nice part in 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' and 'Poseidon'.

Thank you. Where have you been.

But that's persiflage! Oh heck, maybe parsimony or perfidy? Nope.

Sorry! I want to accuse you of something, but I'm losing the language.

Pantaleimonist.
