And those who do survive usually have permanent lung damage. We really need to find a treatment and/or vaccine for this thing. That will most likely take a year or more however. The only good news I've found is that the rate of new infections definitely seems to be slowing. You'd certainly hope so with vast numbers of the populace under virtual house arrest. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

I just hope they honor my DNR. You have a do not recycle? Where is a body to get Solent Green? The Solent is a strait that separates the Isle of Wight from the mainland of England. In the movie of the same name, Soylent Green supposedly was a portmanteau of soy and lentil, but in the film, Sol Roth and Robert Thorn discover it is made in a factory from dead people. Solent and Soylent ain't the same thing. Had you paid attention in grammar school, you might have encountered another interesting watery word...tombolo. We had one where we grew up. :) |

My brother wants to be cremated and have his ashes spread by someone riding a motorcycle down the road. I looked that up.

The neighborhood woodsy critters would take care of everything. |
