The newspapers sell way more papers about bad stuff, not the good.. And I think we all could use some good news.

And I think that self imposed isolation for coming home from anywhere is a great idea & Fines if not followed.

It really is getting crazy.
Liquor Stores and Marijuana Dispensaries are considered essential, but schools are not!

Schools would require to many humans in one place. No chance of social distancing.

I see Florida has closed it’s northern border to non Florida plated cars.

With all the hype our there I " thought to myself " what would happen if you lived where you did not have all this crazy news media or any medical intervention.
Like it was many years ago when they just had Basic thinking to deal with things like this.
They did the best they knew how and had to settle for what came at them.
In other words, Mother nature was at the Helm.
It was a terrible experience but it accomplished some important things as well.
It activated the Rule of Nature I mentioned in an earlier post.
"SURVIVAL Of THE FITTEST"
The remaining survivors were either smart enough to dodge it, or strong enough to endure and survive it.
The upside is... a very large portion came through with a Natural Immunity and could also pass it on so there siblings would not be as likely to suffer later on.
This type of a disaster is also a natural way to control overpopulation.
If we continue to allow the world to grow at the current rate we will be paying for it in many other ways.

Just keep in mind ... there are a limited number of life giving resources here on this planet and we are damaging, overharvesting, contaminating, and polluting the whole earth at an alarming rate. Mostly for Money via Greed.

Example .... Have you looked at the Fukushima Disaster lately?
It is Still an ongoing Extreme Major Time Bomb for the Planet and hardly controllable.
The Radiation has moved to our Whole West Coast at an alarming rate and is already causing much concern going forward. Japan is struggling to deal with it and warning it could get much further out of control.
What will we have left if you cannot eat anything from the Whole Pacific Ocean region.

Anyway ... Just a few of my thoughts for today..

I’ve always wondered what it was like at the end of the ice age as the earth warmed up and we humans started to populate the planet. My theory of global warming is nothing new!
Dallas Texas was under a sea 150,000 years ago and Canada was under huge glaciers of ice!
I find it rather inconceivable that we can spend billions to stop the heat!

Hope everyone is being safe and staying home. I've been working from home for the past 3 weeks and limiting going anywhere. My dog is loving it. I'll have to have her treated for separation anxiety when I have to go back into work.

Although 37 000 is a lot of people to die, it is encouraging that 160,000 have recovered even before any studies have been completed for a successful treatment plan. And they say the number of those recovered is likely underestimated.

"According to data from John Hopkins University, there have been 766,336 confirmed cases of COVID-19 around the world. Of that number, 36,873 people have died and 160,001 have recovered."
