In No Particular Order:

☕ My state rep is choosing to work around the capitol in Columbus mask-less. Most of the state reps are doing that. They voted today to not require themselves to wear masks in the capitol buildings.

☕ A meeting was held by the Ohio Senate where a committee heard testimony about a bill. 200 attendees showed up and not only did they not do social distancing they did not wear masks either. One of the Democrats on the committee walked out of the session.

☕ Daily coronavirus cases reported are down from 8k-10k to roughly 4k-5k. People locally are claiming it is a tremendous breakthrough, coronavirus is being beaten, we don't need to wear masks, and that by spring this will all be over. I live around a bunch of crazy people. Four thousand new cases per day is still bad news. A reduction in cases for the state to just a couple hundred for the entirety of the state would be cause for celebration.

☕ Prevailing received wisdom is "lockdowns don't work" as I am seeing from so many sources both left and right of American origin. The funny part to that is that that doesn't make sense if somehow Australia and New Zealand manage to make it work. What's going so wrong in the USA compared to Australia and New Zealand in terms of making lockdowns work?

☕ Facebook's algorithms are so screwed up right now that my News Feed there is stuck. That is to say the same posts show up every time I visit Facebook. I've asked people I follow there if they've posted new things and they have since this has started. Once I have finished removing the use of Facebook for delegated logins I will likely be nuking that account.

☕ Windows Subsystem for Linux is fun.

☕ I may be very close to getting disfellowshipped at church.

☕ My world is shrinking again as I'm apparently "not a patriot" in a town where MAGA types are starting to come out of the woodwork and self-identify. It doesn't help when elected officials are beginning to make themselves known as patriot extremist types.

☕ I gotta move. I have no known potential destination yet other than to say Florida is off limits except for Temple Terrace.

☕ As John Ekdahl would say: "What a stupid time to be alive..."
