A number of empty shelves at the supermarket this morning. And no Footy this afternoon! >Cue Airplane panic scene<
I turned the radio on for five minutes. It's wall to wall coverage. Turned it back off. Having 24hour news channels makes it all sound a lot worse than it is.

Refound a radio station with comedy and horror things to keep me more entertained.

A good source for reliable news - https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/And tips on coping with the psychological stress https://www.who.int/docs/default-so...lth-considerations.pdf?sfvrsn=6d3578af_8this one strikes a chord "3. Minimize watching, reading or listening to news that causes you to feel anxious or distressed; seek information only from trusted sources and mainly to take practical steps to prepare your plans and protect yourself and loved ones. Seek information updates at specific times during the day, once or twice. The sudden and near-constant stream of news reports about an outbreak can cause anyone to feel worried. Get the facts; not the rumors and misinformation. Gather information at regular intervals, from WHO website and local health authorities platforms, in order to help you distinguish facts from rumors. Facts can help to minimize fears. "

In the words of one of my favorite fictional grandfather figures, kindly old Sgt. Esterhaus from "Hill Street Blues:" "Let's be careful out there."  
Still "Fickles" to my friends.

In the words of one of my favorite fictional grandfather figures, kindly old Sgt. Esterhaus from "Hill Street Blues:" One of the scenes in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is Deckard getting taken to a police precinct. Except it's not his own. It's a parallel force run by replicants.

Plessy v Ferguson established the doctrine of separate but equal. Brown v Board of Education said that separate is never equal.

The football I go to doesn't have segregation between fans. The police, however, are never too far away in case of an incident.

Speaking of segregation, the Netherlands has imposed a partial lockdown. Not quite as bad as the ones in Spain or Italy or even France or the Philippine capital...

King of Philip of Spain was also King of England, jure uxoris, due to his marriage to Mary I.

Better to be King of the Netherlands than King of the Nether Regions?
