One of the first symptoms of coronavirus is said to be
the loss of the sense of smell.
Actually, the very first thing
to go is the sense of humor.

Now that I am required to wear a mask for eight hours straight while I'm working---well, one naturally examines the situation, searching for the bright side. So far, the only thing I've been able to come up with is that when I'm finished eating, I don't have to wipe my face anymore. I just put the mask on.

In Philly, there are many houses with anti-Trump lawn signs that say "Hate Has No Home Here." The signs have been there for 3 1/2 years. I used to think that, in terms of narcissistic virtue-signaling, nothing could possibly be more annoying.
I was wrong. The campaign to get people to stand at their front doors and clap for health care workers at 7:00 PM every day is worse.

Overheard outside of Cuomo's office: "Wait a minute! What are we gonna do with all these goddamn ventilators???"

There seems to be a movement to end the custom of
shaking hands, not just for the duration of the coronavirus outbreak, but
forever. Dr. Fauci said recently, “I don’t
think we should ever shake hands again, to be honest with you.” Trump, who is a known germophobe, later seemed
to agree. “Maybe people aren’t going to
be shaking hands anymore,“ he said.
That’s why I've started patting everybody on the butt.
