    Well..truth is none of us here know #### about this.
    Some of us will never fully recognize it unless, God forbid!, our own uncles or nephews will die from it. God forbid again!

    The next two weeks is going to be brutal as far as number of deaths is concerned. Best place to be is home away from everyone. At least untill they get enough respirators available. As it is now, that’s the main problem. Some will need a respirator, for a short time, while it runs its course. Without one, certain death for some. Choices will be made between patients. Everyone in my family is working, Trucking, and health care. We all have a high risk factor. I am worried about my wife and daughter. I think the fact that a shortage of respirators could have been avoided is a travesty. GM is supposed to start making them, its too little too late for some, I’m afraid. Too much time has already been lost, while Politicians and their cronies sold stocks, in preparation of the falling market. It’s all about priorities, truly sickening IMO

    I was sitting in my car in a grocery store parking lot in Grand Bend, Ontario when that song came on the radio. Of course, being a child of the 70's, it was mandatory that I crank the volume to 11.

    A couple of middle-aged ladies who been sipping one too many martinis at the beach heard it and one of them came over to the car. Did she tell me to turn it down? Nope... she started kung ## fighting right there beside my car... kicking and chopping the air. Lol!!!

    Too bad it was before the days of cellphone cameras. That would have been an epic video.

    Since I'm stuck in the house this weekend, perhaps it would be a good time to introduce my son to the glory that was YOUNG Jacky Chan.

    God bless the guy, but watching him in Rush Hour or Shanghi Noon is painful. Gotta go back to classics like Young Master, Drunken Master, Police Story or Rumble in the Bronx. (Spoiler alert: it's not the Bronx!)

    Don’t forget Cannonball Run 2 & Meals On Wheels!!
    Good news:my niece and her father’s test came back negative.
    Bad news: developed a sore throat a couple of days ago so when I get back home I’ll have to get tested and look at a possible quarantine period.SMH
