So my pool guys are here today opening things up. One of the guys who built the pool in 2007 is here when it's usually his son coming out to open. So I haven't seen this guy since about 2007. He told me that the virus was either a hoax or that it was unleashed on purpose by China. I know I've heard those theories but this guy was all about it. It's interesting to see the wide range of opinions on this.

However it got here. Our new normal pretty much sucks. I agree but I try to keep it in perspective as best as possible. People are sick, dying, working in dangerous conditions. Meanwhile I am working from home as I usually do, my bank account is mildly inflated because my wife and I would go out to dinner which we do far less, I have Xfinity TV and web, Netflix and Amazon Prime and I have beer. Yes I could use a haircut but you can't have everything. Strange days but I consider myself very lucky.

More work is getting done around the house, though.

More work is getting done around the house, though. I'm not sure I ever understood your schedule. You travel a lot but I assume that's less now. If you're working from home is it raining frogs all day or do you have some amount of flexibility? Working from home I'm always looking for a small project here or there. I may be juggling 3 or 4 things work-wise, but it seems like I'm always waiting for an OKAY or some information, etc. and I'm not just going to sit around. Time to cut the grass, do something with the pool or something beer-related? Giddy up.

I'm talking about social people being cut off from socializing for quite awhile to come. I have it better than some, but the suck is real for everyone.

I'm talking about social people being cut off from socializing for quite awhile to come. I have it better than some, but the suck is real for everyone. True. I'm okay with my own company and that of my family but I'm a social person much more than I'm a social-media person. I like hanging out with people and talking and there is definitely less of that. I really have no idea how long it will last but I do know that nicer weather will be helpful so I'm not stuck in the house. Also, my pool guy said that chlorine kills the virus so I'm going to put tables and chairs in the pool and have a big party. As long as everyone's in the water, the virus can suck it.

I work with another therapist nutter who claims Bill Gates engineered a vaccine for this years ago and it was all planned so he can reap money from this debacle.
He also claims there are shape-shifting lizard people living underground in Mexico who are part of some elite Illuminati group that runs our government. Yes, this dipstick is performing healthcare.
I talked with my friend who runs our Covid unit about the disease process. She said it causes ground glass infiltrate in the lungs which is visible on regular x-ray. This slowly depletes lung volumes and causes "happy anoxia" You slowly lose O2 carrying capability and may not know it as it makes you slightly drunk. The low O2 causes multi-organ damage and you eventually die from organ failure.

I've had some troubling encounters in the hospital lately. Patient with a fever and coughing non-stop. Let the nurse know and they say "Doctor knows about it and hasn't ordered Covid testing"
Then we both have the "WTF, we know this should be tested" look over our masks.
