The Kinsa heat map is cool almost everywhere. And I do mean that in almost every possible interpretation. But especially here: https://healthweather.us/?mode=Observed
I now have a lifting partner! A. needed something for her share to describe that did not involve using a screen. I was like, okay, we lifted a little last night (5 pound dumbbells for her, 3 exercises, single set, a half dozen reps). Today we upped the weight (because she is saying her arms are not warm at all when done), but did the same exercises and amount. That gave her something to share that did not involve a screen, and it only takes a few minutes. I have a lifting partner!
Matt Levine over at Bloomberg linked to a funny story at the NY Post (normally, I would not link, but this is so hilarious: https://nypost.com/2020/03/29/how-coronavirus-cripples-the-new-york-mafia/) about how the shutdown in NYC (bars and restaurants that supplied cash to the mob, sports that the mob supported betting on, private carting services having less garbage pickups with so many things closed, a lot of construction closed down, etc.) is affecting organized crime. So I searched on organized crime in google news, and up popped a story about gangs in the favelas of Rio enforcing curfews and stay at home orders, because the government is not doing so. (https://www.occrp.org/en/daily/11930-organized-crime-enforcing-quarantine-in-brazilian-favelas I do not know anything about this source.)
The world is an amazing place, and humanity is ingenious.
