Well, Glibs fans, it looks like I might have cockroached* around enough this month to survive without being laid off. I was sure I was gonna get the gate. If I’m being honest, I’m experiencing some survivors’ guilt after a happy hour last night with my former team (client and co-workers). I looked around and realized I was the only one who hadn’t lost a job or been asked to take a significant pay cut. Thanks to all the Glibs who reached out and offered support during my time of uncertainty. Tonight might be the first night I sleep soundly in six weeks. And my sincere sorrow to all the Glibs who weren’t so lucky. Please continue to ask for whatever help you need.

Sweden believes herd immunity a few weeks away. As best I can tell, the only factor that seems reliable in predicting spread of the virus have been population density. The US solution of isolation seems untenable. Florida had fewer than 6000 positive tests in the last 100,000. At this point, the only way out is through. Vaccines are a year away, and rate of infection as measured by testing (not hospitalization) is less than the open bed census.

Beaches in my area re-open Monday. The order was supposed to expire Friday, but I guess I can see them waiting until after the weekend.

The emergency continues to be such an emergency that the House… remains in recess. Good.

 

Hadn’t heard this one in a while.
