China is now blaming the United States for the Coronavirus.

Yeah, it's not the wet markets where they leave animals in incredibly unsanitary conditions and eat whatever they can get their hands on... it's all America's fault! And obviously it came from American troops, because we had thousands of cases of Coronavirus long before the Wuhan outbrea... oh, wait...

Sometimes I'm amazed at how far man has progressed in the last 100,000 years.  On the one hand, we have science and logic.  On the other hand, we have religion and politics.  It seems like the two sides would cancel each other out, and we would still be at point zero.  It's hard to understand that we have actual forces at work that can overpower reason. 

Most of our extra brain capacity, which seems to far outreach that of other primates, seems to be used to fill our imagination.  I don't want to knock imagination.  It can lead to extraordinary things, but it seems like most of it is wasted on fallacy, ego protection, and wishful thinking.  We are monkeys capable of constructing nonsense that no other monkeys could match.  We have taken flinging poo to the next level of primate intellect.

They're burning Covid-19 patients alive in mobile crematoriums now.

Been done before.  History has warned you.  But this isn't just a Chinese thing.

If you resemble anyone shown, please sit down and take 20 CCs of Stop Being A Dumb Arsehole every morning until symptoms dissipate.

If symptoms do not abate within 24 hours, please supplement the treatment with mindfulness exercises, which are a list questions to ask yourself during symptom onset: "Is what I am doing similar to what a dumb arsehole would do?",  "Will my actions hurt someone by depriving them of needed supplies?",  "Is what I am doing a sensible reaction to available empirical data?",  "Should the opinions of medical novices really be weighted the same or higher than medical experts?", etc.

New reports are coming out here, that in 20 days the government are going to start giving warnings and rules that anyone over the age of 70 needs to remain inside, for upward of 4 months, even if not sick.

I'm growing even more concerned now. I pretty much look after my mother, I dunno what i'm expected to do, if I need to confine myself indoors the same way, avoid people to as not to pass anything to her. Plus with my own diabetes if I should start being just as concerned.

I've just been informed that the library will be closed for at least 2 weeks, so I won't be around much for a while. I can use my phone, as I'm doing now. I'll have a hard time finding places to charge, though, so I won't be around as much, until things get better.

Hopefully there is a familial or society support for shut-ins in general, not just extreme seniors.
