I am seriously trying to send reliable information that can be of significant benefit from a health standpoint as well as poignant clever humor.

Animal Farm and 1984 predicted/alluded to all of this. Why are we surprised?
Has to be Trump's fault because radical progressive Democrats say so and this is why we should elect "vigorous" 70 year old's to run our nation. What does it matter if one does not know where his wife is and the other is recovering from a heart attack.
Actually both panderers belong in the zoo and can replace the Panda's from China. Last night they tried to outdo each other in giving everything away because the government will pick up the tab.
I would be going for my free lunch today but my oncologist says I should remain in my house because of the virus thingy!
This edited e mail from a dear friend and tennis buddy who is a very angry man:
"Give me a break. He (Trump) should have known about the virus which started in January in China. He is just an ignorant man, no interest in other things but his personal stuff...Trump can not get anything right! Yes, more dumping on a totally unqualified guy in the W.H. J.----" https://www.washingtonpost.
Meanwhile:
It's getting harder and harder to read the news every morning. It makes my head spin. We are living in Bizarre World.
If a mentally-ill dude pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.
It’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.
Russians influencing our elections are bad, but Mexicans voting in our elections are good.
It was cool for Joe Biden to blackmail the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it.
Twenty is too young to drink a beer, but eighteen is old enough to vote.
It’s wrong to steal, but it’s cool to demand that the government steal for you.
Sexualizing children is bad, but 11-year-old drag queens are good.
Illegals aren't required to show ID, but citizens can't buy cough medicine without it.
It’s okay for Iran to have nukes, but duck hunters should turn in their shotguns.
Citizens are fined if they don’t buy their own health insurance, and then they are forced to buy it for illegals.
People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.
Inflammatory rhetoric is outrageous, but harassing people in restaurants is virtuous.
People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for useless degrees.
Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.
Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate Central-American gang-banger who jumps the southern fence is welcome.
We demand that the government be in control of our health care, but then we are outraged when the government makes our health care decisions.
$5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care for illegals is not.
Men are evil misogynists, and a hooker named Stormy Daniels is a national treasure.
If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.
Politicians who say that the President is not above the law put illegal immigrants above the law.
Kids can’t bring peanut butter to school, but they can bring measles.
People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.
It’s terrible when the President says that Puerto Rico’s politicians are corrupt, but it’s wonderful when Puerto Rico’s politicians are kicked out of office for corruption.
Illegals don’t pay taxes, but they get tax refunds.
We are $22 trillion dollars in debt, but we should throw money at every perceived problem like drunken sailors.
We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, and it seems like a great plan to us.
It is OK to murder the unborn children, but you cannot take an eagle egg without a massive fine.
We demand high minimum wages for unskilled labor, and we demand unlimited illegal immigration of people who will work for peanuts.
Voter suppression is bad, but not allowing the President to be on the ballot is good.
Fourth-of-July parades are bad, but parades of women dressed as vaginas are good.
Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.
Am I missing any?

This from my brother in law who worked at NIH for 35 years and is Lynn's brother.
i watched a couple of tony fauci's interviews yesterday and they have led to so some reflections on my part. the viral spread and consequences are much more profound than i had previously come to grips with. i worry about eva and myself because of our age group and the potential life threatening nature of the disease. i worry about the two of you for the same reason, and especially dick, who is in the highest risk group of all. we have the attitude that this could never happen to us, but i am sure that is what nearly every person who is now infected has thought. we have no control over who the people we interact with have previously been near. in general, we have decided to go to 'social distancing' as much as practically possible in order to lessen our exposure as this seems, to us, the prudent thing to do. i would encourage you to do the same. no restaurants, no crowds, as little contact with others as possible. better to be safe and alive.

I believe we are more militarily speaking vulnerable since 12/1941 and 9/11.
I warned about cyber security only a few memos ago.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ More sound advice:
The following is written by virologist James Robb, highly recommended for everyone to read:Subject: What I am doing for the upcoming COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemicDear Colleagues, as some of you may recall, when I was a professor of pathology at the University of California San Diego, I was one of the first molecular virologists in the world to work on coronaviruses (the 1970s). I was the first to demonstrate the number of genes the virus contained. Since then, I have kept up with the coronavirus field and its multiple clinical transfers into the human population (e.g., SARS, MERS), from different animal sources.The current projections for its expansion in the US are only probable, due to continued insufficient worldwide data, but it is most likely to be widespread in the US by mid to late March and April.Here is what I have done and the precautions that I take and will take. These are the same precautions I currently use during our influenza seasons, except for the mask and gloves.:1) NO HANDSHAKING! Use a fist bump, slight bow, elbow bump, etc.2) Use ONLY your knuckle to touch light switches. elevator buttons, etc.. Lift the gasoline dispenser with a paper towel or use a disposable glove.3) Open doors with your closed fist or hip - do not grasp the handle with your hand, unless there is no other way to open the door. Especially important on bathroom and post office/commercial doors.4) Use disinfectant wipes at the stores when they are available, including wiping the handle and child seat in grocery carts.5) Wash your hands with soap for 10-20 seconds and/or use a greater than 60% alcohol-based hand sanitizer whenever you return home from ANY activity that involves locations where other people have been.6) Keep a bottle of sanitizer available at each of your home's entrances. AND in your car for use after getting gas or touching other contaminated objects when you can't immediately wash your hands.7) If possible, cough or sneeze into a disposable tissue and discard. Use your elbow only if you have to. The clothing on your elbow will contain infectious virus that can be passed on for up to a week or more!What I have stocked in preparation for the pandemic spread to the US:1) Latex or nitrile latex disposable gloves for use when going shopping, using the gasoline pump, and all other outside activity when you come in contact with contaminated areas.Note: This virus is spread in large droplets by coughing and sneezing. This means that the air will not infect you! BUT all the surfaces where these droplets land are infectious for about a week on average - everything that is associated with infected people will be contaminated and potentially infectious. The virus is on surfaces and you will not be infected unless your unprotected face is directly coughed or sneezed upon. This virus only has cell receptors for lung cells (it only infects your lungs) The only way for the virus to infect you is through your nose or mouth via your hands or an infected cough or sneeze onto or into your nose or mouth.2) Stock up now with disposable surgical masks and use them to prevent you from touching your nose and/or mouth (We touch our nose/mouth 90X/day without knowing it!). This is the only way this virus can infect you - it is lung-specific. The mask will not prevent the virus in a direct sneeze from getting into your nose or mouth - it is only to keep you from touching your nose or mouth.3) Stock up now with hand sanitizers and latex/nitrile gloves (get the appropriate sizes for your family). The hand sanitizers must be alcohol-based and greater than 60% alcohol to be effective.4) Stock up now with zinc lozenges. These lozenges have been proven to be effective in blocking coronavirus (and most other viruses) from multiplying in your throat and nasopharynx. Use as directed several times each day when you begin to feel ANY "cold-like" symptoms beginning. It is best to lie down and let the lozenge dissolve in the back of your throat and nasopharynx. Cold-Eeze lozenges is one brand available, but there are other brands available.I, as many others do, hope that this pandemic will be reasonably contained, BUT I personally do not think it will be. Humans have never seen this snake-associated virus before and have no internal defense against it. Tremendous worldwide efforts are being made to understand the molecular and clinical virology of this virus. Unbelievable molecular knowledge about the genomics, structure, and virulence of this virus has already been achieved. BUT, there will be NO drugs or vaccines available this year to protect us or limit the infection within us. Only symptomatic support is available.I hope these personal thoughts will be helpful during this potentially catastrophic pandemic. You are welcome to share this email. Good luck to all of us!

DIY Hand Sanitizer
Hand sanitizers and disinfecting wipes are currently sold out in most stores, but there’s no need to worry. You can easily make your own.
The CDC recommends washing your hands with antibacterial soap and water whenever possible. But what should you do when soap and water are not available? Any hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol can help you avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others.
At least 2/3 of your mixture must contain rubbing alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethanol, or even 180 proof spirits (like Everclear or some vodkas). If your mixture meets this criteria, it will kill viruses on contact.
You can get creative with the other 1/3 of your mixture. Adding 1-part aloe vera to your 2-part alcohol mixture will create a gel-like sanitizer. It’s optional, but you can also mix in several drops of essential oil, too. Red thyme, cinnamon and clove have excellent anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties — and they smell great, too.
According to the CDC, hand sanitizer needs to contain at least 60% alcohol, which is why we use a 2 parts alcohol to 1 part aloe ratio.
Instructions:
- Mix 2 parts alcohol and 1 part aloe vera in a cup or bowl until well combined.
- Blend in a few drops of essential essential oil (optional).
- Funnel your mixture into an empty bottle or applicator of your choice.
