...the day started with a fifteen-minute stop in the stock market due to a 7% fall over the weekend.

Then oil crashed by 20%.

Italy has now locked down the entire country because of the Corona virus.

Apparently, China is threatening not to sell the United States medical supplies.

I watched it all unfold on FOX today.

But I'm not panicking because yesterday, I got the last of the water and toilet paper at my local Walmart.

They told us global warming would be the death of us all, but no, this coronavirus is going to kill us all a lot faster.

I know it's a bad disease, but I'm not too worried. Regular influenza is often deadly to those under 6 and those over 60, but the Chinese have really had a rough time with the disease, which has sent people into a panic there.

I have a full box of printer paper, so I'm good.

Don't crumple it up; it has sharp edges.

That's not the worst of it, either. Some of the dyes in old Sears catalogues are quite toxic. Back in the day, it was common to hear that a certain color of dye was causing certain kinds of cancers due to toxicity of dyes and other chemicals used in printing cheapo catalogues.

Today, my writing group and my role playing group were cancelled.

Bummer.
