I'm not sad but I do have the feeling of dread.
The financial markets melting. Restaurants, schools, stores,
manufacturing plants, public venues, etc. closing. I don't know who to
trust with the info on COVID-19. Is it the end of the world? A nothing
burger? The same people fear mongering went from one extreme to another.
Now my kid is out of school for a while. Very likely the numbers will be
higher when the kids are supposed to go back - probably won't see the
classroom again until Fall. Was told not to return to work until the
foreseeable future. Can work from home. Many are excited. I have dread.
Been hearing the COVID-19 is a bioengineered chimera using AIDS which is
why people are getting it again and again. You don't get rid of it. Who
the F knows though either way. Also hearing that basically everyone will
get it. Just a matter of time. Also trying to rip a Pavement CD and
track 8 won't rip. The Fing humanity. Pizza might help me just for a
hour. Toilet paper and purell will save us all. Idiots blaming Trump and
the 1%. Chinese blaming America now. Americans bombing Iranian targets
in the confusion. Secret stock trading by algorithms pump and dump while
we sleep. Aliens too grossed out to exsanguinate the cattle.
