I wish everyone would get a grip and my temp is 101 right now. Normally I would say that is a sign of lack of lucidity but I am sitting here going "I have been more ill, I am quite certain."
The STUFF I am hearing (on both sides of the fence) is making me feel misery not the stupid virus I have frankly. It's annoying.
NOW we hear about UV rays killing viruses everywhere and some folks are talking about "killing off every virus" by beaming UV light everywhere? I'm sorry but that is A BAD IDEA God only knows what that would do to the overall ecosystem and the first NEW virus would kill us off like flies, having no immunity due to no exposure. Not to mention the SKIN CANCER.
"Killing off all viruses" is what I would expect out of an epidemiologist on crack, or ONE FROM THE PLAGUE TIMES HOLY JESUS.
It all makes trepanning seem rational. I'm sorry, we gonna have to get used to these coronaviruses, and develop some blanket IMMUNITY. GOD. It is making me stabby.
I am going to volunteer Biosphere 2 and ALL the epidemiologists for this experiment, it worked well enough except they needed a bit of air shoved in or water, I forget, but containment did not have to be breached.
They can take their ecospheres and their diaries in there and we will beam UV rays through the facility and see what happens and when it is a blackened steaming crater, the world can thank me later.
JOURNAL DAY ONE: I need to start smoking but they won't give me nicotine. I tried the patch but it made me itchy and I SAID I AM AN EPIDEMIOLOGIST but the told me to f

off."
I swear this virus is making many LOSE they dang MIND. It's terrifying far more so than my fever I have to say. I'm not even CLOSE to fear of death yet. Sheesh.
