Song That Just Popped Into My Head
So I had a song randomly pop into my head and was talking to Annalisa about it. Weirdest songs sometimes pop into my head, in this case it was Celine Dion. I don’t listen to her. It doesn’t really make sense, but Annalisa actually did listen to her and doesn’t know the song! So I found the song and she just looked at me asking if it really was Celine Dion? Uh, yeah.
-edit- I know why now. Kind of a big duh. Been going through a cancer diagnosis, and yeah. Makes sense.
My Mask is Better Than Yours
I don’t get this surgical/cloth masking thing. Am I missing some controlled study where coronavirus patients were placed in a controlled group of random people without coronavirus and then transmission rates were studied both indoors and out? I am 100% behind where the science says to go, if a randomized control trial shows indisputable evidence that these masks are effective against the coronavirus, sure, no problem, let’s mask up. But if they are being mandated due to nebulous general population “studies” where some areas show effectiveness and others not as effective (as I’ve currently seen and is largely the basis for the state order) – all to make it look like the politicians are doing something, then I am 100% against it. I’m surprised hardly anyone is questioning the rationale behind masks.

I Love All Who Work, Not Just Those We See
This is probably an unpopular opinion – but doctors and nurses are getting too much attention and credit right now. I imagine if I had continued to pursue a career in medicine, this atmosphere wouldn’t make me thrilled.
Look, I’m not at all surprised by all the adulation being heaped on medical personnel. There’s a threat of a virus which has raised the general fear level quite a bit. So there is a natural inclination to think, these people are saving our lives, we need to reward them. It is true, doctors and nurses provide a valuable service as a part of a functioning society. My life has most likely been saved at least a couple times, or at least kept me from some serious long-term debilitating injury. However, As a side note, isn’t it amazing how doctors have essentially green-lit a level of recklessness from the general public that a hundred years ago would have left huge swaths of the population severely handicapped?

Looks good to me. Let’s confirm this and get everything back to normal.
