America's freshly minted medical authority, Dr Anthony Fauci, gently (IMO) critiques his "boss" on COVID-19. Brad Pitt "does" Anthony Fauci on Saturday Night Live.
I know what you're (probably) thinking, considering how this forum "leans."
Melania's "I really don't care. Do U?" statement jacket.
But putting any and all "leanings" aside for a moment, I thought that Brad Pitt did a respectable impersonation of America's newly prominent "medicine man." Capturing the way that the celebrated doctor speaks. A credible 90 seconds of Faux Fauci On Tap.

Shutdown of public access to an aquarium has a species of small-sized eels losing their long-acquired comfort level with humans approaching the glass walls of their tank.
The eels were accustomed to looking back through the glass at the crowds of humans.
Since the shutdown, the eels have lost their comfort level with the proximity of humans and are exhibiting a fear reaction when a staff member approaches the tank to check up on the eels. Now the eels react by burying into the sand or sediment at the bottom of the tank, which defeats what the staff are there for: checking up on the eels and performing tank maintenance or "tank-keeping" functions as needed.
The aquarium has surrounded the tank with large video monitors and is asking the public to connect using the FaceTime app from their homes, so that the eels will be seeing human faces again throughout the day.
The staff hopes that this will cause the eels to return to their customary "I'm OK with it" psyche about humans and stop burrowing to hide when a staff member approaches the tank to make sure that nothing is amiss.
THIS MAY BE A "Little" DIFFICULT FOR ALL WHO ARE OVER 60. THOSE YOUNGER THAN THIS WILL HAVE NO HOPE AT ALL.

With everything being closed, Has helped change the way we live. We are saving about 65.00 a week because we have to make our lunches for work instead of the lazy, go to a sub shop or burger place. We, are working so much, because of this new normal . We are a few of the lucky ones that jobs didn't vaporize or business have to close. O/T is great and all, but it is getting old. The eat ,sleep, work,shower, eat, sleep etc. isn't the life I'd want long term. But for now, I'll call it blessed, as so many are up __________ creek, as they say. I'll never be rich doing what I do, but slow and steady wins the race.
I like organic / natural... and all sizes as long as it fits the body. Honestly, it's all I think about, constantly. Quite frankly, I'm amazed that I can ever get any work done... or even be a productive member of society in any capacity whatsoever.

You can do it for a little while, but long term it will destroy you and your life. Exactly what did it to me.
