At least that’s what I told myself this week. Sweet Jeebus things have been insane. I worked the last three weekends and this week things really came to a head at work. Thank d-G this week is over and I can hang out with you reprobates. I’m writing this while drinking scotch, eating chocolate, and watching Baywatch with child 2 to give you an idea of my mental state right now.
I’d bitch some more but I’ve seen what some of you have going on in your lives. Q, congratulations on your Q-ette. The story of her birth was harrowing. I’m hoping Mrs. Q is feeling better and you have some family in the area who can lend a hand for a bit. Hayeksplosives, whatever is going on with the hubs I hope you get some solid answers soon. The confusion and uncertainty can’t be good for anyone.
I didn’t hit the gym once this week but I did get in my conditioning. Next week will be a new start. For now, that’s good enough.
Oh about what stress does to you: go here.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
California’s seven–day average of Covid cases is back to where it was on November 8th and is falling. Meanwhile, we are 35th in vaccine distribution according to one measure. Less than 15% of Californians have received one dose of a Covid vaccine.
I’m putting on my thinking cap to figure out why virus spread has plunged. Could it be masking? No, we have edicts and high compliance for about 11 months. Could it be social distancing? Doubtful for the same reasons. Was it lockdowns? Our only true lockdown happened over nine months ago. Since then it has been porous, inconsistent, and the areas with the most restrictions have done the worst (I’m looking at you Los Angeles.)
This is a real head scratcher. People lauded by the media proved to be liars while others skillfully evaded responsibility for their duplicity. Perhaps, someone further back in history has something useful to tell us. It looks like we are close to herd immunity.
I’m out of gas. Supply your own music links and remind me why my governor, or yours, is a shitstain.
Hey, Chafed! Our governor is indeed a moron.
However, I’m finding great success in locating restaurants that are mostly ignoring the edicts except for the servers wearing masks.
So you’re hosting the SoCal Glib meet up?
Sure, why not?
I just need 6 weeks to get hubs through his course of meds and get my work caught up.
Is Temecula close enough? I am north of Escondido.
Common effects of stress
On your body On your mood On your behavior
Headache Anxiety Overeating or undereating
Muscle tension or pain Restlessness Angry outbursts
Chest pain Lack of motivation or focus Drug or alcohol misuse
Fatigue Feeling overwhelmed Tobacco use
Change in sex drive Irritability or anger Social withdrawal
Stomach upset Sadness or depression Exercising less often
Sleep problems
Well, looks like I checked off pretty much all of those. Guess I’m stressed.
What, you’re not jazzed up to spend another year away from meeting new humans and seeing peoples’ faces?
I’m an optimist and even I have been thinking about whether I should be “on” something to get through this shit.
The Devil’s lettuce and Glibs are about the only things keeping me close to sane at this point.
Glad to see your hubby is on the mend.
Thanks.
I’d happily take a gummy myself, but my status on federal work precludes it.
Fact Check: TRUE!
Thanks for the thoughts and support on the Mr Splosives. He is at home and is on the mend, with 6 weeks of daily antibiotics to go, which means a new hobby for me.
I requested physical therapy in-home for him to rebuild his strength. He still won’t eat enough. He was talking about getting an electric wheelchair but I think that is a terrible idea. Getting him good any tired of needing a walker is what I’m counting on for his motivation.
I’m sure you are right. Did you ever find out how he got tagged as a hospice patient?
No. I asked the home health nurse when she came to show me how to inject the meds into the PICC line.
She gave me an after hours contact number, and I asked her if she knew that gave a recording for hospice and palliative care.
She paused, blinked, and said that all the home health was grouped under one umbrella that included hospice and palliative care as well as the infusion she was showing us.
I suggested they change the recording to match. No idea if she understood. She was wearing a mask.
We also were required to wear masks when she was in our house.
I hated being told to wear one in my own house, but it was the most sensible circumstance I’ve yet encountered to require it.
Pour those Ensure things down his throat. Ive had to make sure Tres Sr. chugs couple of them daily.
High carb/high fat
Ensure Plus, to up the protein as well.
Yeah, I sucked down a lot of those in the hospital last summer. Before my innards gave up and I had to be fed through a tube.
Aren’t we close to 1 in 5 Americans having some significant immunity now?
That’s got to reduce infection rate.
I heard my state — Texas — is passing a bill to not only end the mask requirement but ban them forever. Let’s go on that.
I liked the sign that someone mentioned yesterday that said “If you are not wearing a mask, our employees will assume you have a medical reason not to wear a mask.”
A little ass-covering for the business and a welcoming atmosphere for patrons.
As far as long lasting solutions go, the only thing that will matter is to strip executives of their ability to declare emergencies and then to use that to trump all rights.
Legislatures have to stop ceding their powers to the executive. It’s already against most state constitutions to do so.
That, and a few impeachment’s wouldn’t hurt. As the letter requesting impeachment here states: Impeachment is necessary in order to send a clear message that gestapo tactics aren’t welcome here. Not even once.
Although our legislature failed on the latter, they passed several bills neutering executive power.
Only to be vetoed.
Then overridden.
And now in court because “BuT mUh PoWa!”.
Hopefully that shit will get tossed quick, but the state courts here have bent over backwards to accommodate him, so I’m betting the judge will find a penaltax-like thing to do.
The reckoning on 2020 – if it comes – is going to be something else. I mean, worldwide mass hysteria. How do you come back from that? I suspect people will just “forget” and move on.
It’s very hard to come by good numbers Urthona. I read an article written by a doctor/economist that backed out an implied infection rate. It was over half the population. Assuming being infected once brings significant immunity, then it will be difficult for the virus to widely spread again.
I think being infected once does bring significant if not amazing immunity. So far.
They are really trying hard to prove you can get it twice though, but it’s been soooo pathetic so far.
FWIW, articles I have read by doctors who are not in the tank for pandemia say reinfection is possible but rare i.e. less than 1%. Those who are reinfected are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms. We can all live with that.
On the plus side, I’m down ~15 pounds for the year, and about 3% body fat. There’s a non-zero chance I’ll be back under 200 before St. Patrick’s day and another vacation.
On the state side, the curfews have been over, bars are back open until 02:00, although masks and enforced social distancing are still mandated at bars and restaurants.
Though the threshold. Just order a drink and take your mask off.
Congratulations on the weight loss.
I gained some pounds from “Fuck it” stress eating, but I’m still net down.
The local Irish Pub has been serving indoors all year, so a visit might be in order before March 17.
Overall, I’m still up from where I was last year, but there’s at least progress again. March 16th will be the end of the first year of lockdowns, shutdowns, and mandates here in Ohio.
I was hoping the weather would finally break to let me get some real bike rides in today, but it’s been raining and gloomy all day. Then back into the 30’s through the week.
yo pimp- ease on down here
Weather this week gonna be dope

Hi Chafed! Thanks for this edition and greetings from NOCal. I believe stress and think the Conan the Barbarian quote was mistranslated and the corrected version is: “That which intensely stresses you.. will make you strong”. Weather here is —sunny, warm and windy. Great weekend hikes. Lots of elevation and mileage; about 15. California poppies are starting to bloom!..pretty but not psychoactive.
G-fit update: Sleep was pretty great. Food was meh..mixed in too many carbs. Hike mileage was up a little to 36 miles. Wim Hoff/meditative “ancient man” techniques; missed a bunch of days (WTF). Weight is level. Did some MIIT on hikes with the hills. No fast this week.
Continued with Horse Stance exercise. No improvement, topped out at 2 minute 15 seconds. Maybe I need to try something new to get over the hump.
Read yesterday’s conversation about pills (red, blue, black, ect). I think the most libertarian pill is “the brown”. Any political pill is really probably brown and not worth taking and should be avoided… Anyway, I have been trying to reduce my usage of real pills because of liver toxicity. I admit to being kind of a bitch about my chronic back pain and have consistently used all types of NSAIDs for the last decade to cope. Well, I decided about a month ago to stop taking any of them. It was a challenge. It messed up my sleep for a couple weeks, but a month off of them, I don’t notice any difference in level of pain than when taking them. Maybe I am immune. I will have to ask Fauci.
Gavin Update: Looks like the recall is going through. Damn, I got a bad feeling about this. Most likely scenario is Gavin gets re-elected. There is nothing worse than a feminine politician scorned… Man, I thought I had issues with the state before. Let’s see how he will f’ck with us now. Counting the ways: summer blend gas shortage and gouge, electrical brown outs, slowed wild fire responses, water shortage–mandatory ration, tax hikes, more “lost” payouts, bigger giveaways to public pension, equality outcome regulations and his current favorite go-to–Covid tyranny. All brought to us with the full support of the Dem legislature. He’s got issues and I am going to pay!
De todos modos, ¡tenga una gran semana y sáltese una comida o tres!
Your second to last paragraph is why I don’t believe he will be reelected. There is plenty of stuff to keep biting him in the ass until the recall vote.
I hope you are right. I have lost faith in the electorate (people, process, vote counters) here because the people stopped trying about 15-20 yrs ago and the process and counters have stepped it up. I don’t see any miraculous changes. I pray I am wrong.
Today is 2 straight weeks of eating healthy, no weekend food binges. Been doing intermittent fasting and im down about 8 pounds. Been to the gym every day except Saturday, only skipped cardio once this week.
King Cuomo is nice enough to allow ys to dance at weddings again. Has nothing to do with the fact that his own daughter is having a wedding soon though. Hes doing it for us.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.silive.com/coronavirus/2021/02/let-the-parties-begin-dancing-to-be-allowed-at-catered-affairs-cuomo-announces.html%3foutputType=amp
How are Cuomo’s poll numbers? It seems like a good part of the electorate has a reason to hate him.
No idea, seems like everyone i know hates him and Diblasio, but its New York so theyd probably both get re-elected if they had an election tomorrow.
RE falling case numbers: As someone, (sorry don’t remember) posted this morning and I have been thinking the same, 30 mins after Presidimentia said we were rejoining the WHO, the WHO declared the pcr tests were flawed with high ct rates. I am waiting for some journalist to uncover through FOIA or something that it has been coordinated to lower ct values across the nation. Just as many have called it, the case load would drop instantly and it appears to have done just that. PCR ct rates are top secret info for the whole nation except FL were they declared it law they have to be published with the test results.
I went for a short bike ride this morning and the leg burn felt good. Local park has a cool bike area with some man made obstacles and other fun stuff and I tried a few. God I am out of shape and my balance is fucked off the charts. I am sure part of it is age but I think some meds don’t help there either. I need to get rid of all my meds and I know how to do it but seems my laziness and a love for yummy food, and drink gets in the way. I keep dropping weight slowly so I will get there eventually. *crosses fat fingers*
Presidimentia
LOL, Totally stealing that one.
I’ve seen enough left wing articles proclaiming “actually deaths are being undercounted” to let this one ride.
I’ll just let this one play out, look at how the overall deaths compared to previous years, and then laugh at how much this has been overestimated .
Under counting? Like this?
Im tire shopping before bedtime. I love having new tires; I hate buying tires. My initial go-to is TireDiscounters’s site as a general barometer of prices before I begin shopping-shopping.
they’re offering a (($x)/month!) payment option….Vishnu H. Christ- we’re to financing tires now ?
Have for years via store credit accounts.
I’ve noticed Amazon is offering similar payment plans for multi hundred dollar items like power tools. Of course, ask any new mechanic in hock to Snapon or MAC about buying on time…
Yes. Ive heard the horror stories about the new grease monkey blowing his check each week in the back of the Snap-On truck.

Let the pizza wars commence!
Seaweed on pizza?
*ponders*
I guess it could work.
Seaweed on pizzaMight work better?
I had heard rumors about corn on pizza in Japan. Apparently they are true.
The first one had mayo and I was going to make a mention that the corn was missing until the second one came out.
I have been on a Korean street food video kick. They make some good looking food.
Usual week; I have a half physical job, lined delivery driver, get between 8,000 – 12,000 steps in and also lift bags, some can be heavy. Officiated four nights this week, get some steps and some MIIT in.
Decided to quite being a whiny ass excuse maker and start lifting weights again. I looked at my schedule and said “I’m off on weekends and Tuesday, and I don’t have games to officiate on Wednesday, so I can lift Sunday, Tuesday morning and then Wednesday after work!” I had in my mind what I thought would be the best lifts to do, looked up some on Ripptoe (thanks Tundra) and saw his beginning weightlifting program. Was the same lifts I was thinking about but bench and military are on different days. Well, I did make to the gym today, damn squats are WAY off, I did only 155 for my 3X5; bench was 135; dead lift was 165; went ahead and did 2 sets of dips, 10 each.
Felt good lifting again! Inner hammys already sore! (I actually love the feeling you have after squatting again, it’s sore, but you know its working!?) (Just figured out I have emoji’s on my laptop ?♂️) Will work that out this week.
You have emojis on your laptop? ?
Someone slapped a few stickers on the underside and he didn’t notice it until today.
Hi Ted, I saw your comment a couple of days ago about government influence/waste on time. I thought it was most inciteful. I have worked with over 50 biotech start-ups and the most successful always measured success on time to goal versus money raised or managed. The consistent thought was “we can always raise more money but time lost can never be made up…” Anyway, I thought your take was an interesting. Thanks!
Good job Lazer.
Fuck yeah, Lazer!
For Animal – and everyone else – the new classicfirearms.com contest is hella cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeTk7VL5Nkc
So here I am, checking out local NJ media to see what the cool kids are talking about; I like to keep tabs on the propaganda du jour. Problem is, our two primary media outlets are quite restrictive – one requires a subscription to see anything, and the other is about 50% subscriber content. People pay for this shit?
Anyhow, in a fit of pique I enter “Where can I get NJ news without paying the fucking newspapers” into DDG. The number six result may be of interest, and has some kind of relevance for fitness. Also, probably, more worthwhile than our local media outlets.
Sounds like a result you’d get from FuckFuckGo.
“The search engine with a heart of gold”
They modified the dining rules out here, but SD is still called for and the Wuhan Flu remains unable to see a seated target but fully capable of ravaging a walking or standing target. The tables remain outdoors and in the wind and Sun. But the silly fence between the sitting area grass and the rest of the grass came down.
The Trades are really pumping so the sail this afternoon should be “sporty”. Last week we were knocked down by a gust and I picked up interesting bruises on one of my upper inner thighs. Hopefully today we keep the big stick pointed at the sky. I will see how I feel after the sail but I am thinking poki or pizza (no pineapple) for dinner later.
The last I heard we’re back to 25% capacity in restaurants and some tentative feelers in letting people attend sporting events but of course with full theater in effect.
Like I’ve said before, I reject all of this and refuse to play along until the theater part goes away.
Just gorged on a bunch of pulled pork, so maybe I shouldn’t read this right now.
I’m still lifting heavy beers, I mean all weekend. Results, still not in.
After watching CPAC all weekend, I have come to some realizations.
There is no, yet, any replacement for bad orange man.
He’s going to wipe the floor with all of them. Desantis seems OK, but he is an extremely boring speaker. He seems out of touch personally and he can’t stop staring at his notes. I mean he can’t maintain eye contact with the audience for 2 seconds.
Rick Scott is just horrifically bad.
Just to skip forward, I think that, at this point, the best ticket would be the bad orange man and Kristi Noem. She’s very articulate. The problem is everyone on the left will hate her because she’s beautiful. Welcome to envy culture.
I maintain OMB is his own worst enemy. Team Red needs to find someone else. I have no idea who that will be.
I’m not sure they can, except to remember that Trump is a symptom, not a cause.
I don’t know exactly who, but it seems that either DeSantis or Noem are the ones I can spot right now.
Both have positive Covid fever records in the eyes of Republican voters, which is key right now, although they likely won’t be in 2024, at least not in the same form(s).
It’s a matter of finding who will resist the Cathedral, while not being an ever-douche. It’s going to be the person who can portray the essence of resistance without being an asshole.
Donald is not running again. They need to move on and find someone who doesn’t suck.
Haha. Trump is doing his greatest hits lines. Let’s see if the media will resist the laser pointer.
“Little” Ben Sasse? That’s it? The guy is done, he can’t even come up with good nicknames anymore.

Baseball season is getting underway, which means practice is now in full swing. I pitched a full batting practice twice, then hit about a hundred ground balls. Not exactly earth shattering, but when you haven’t done shit in months, it’s enough to get the heart moving, which is a sure sign I need to do more.
I listened to deadhead talk about his 24 mile run with a 40lb pack. That’s good exercise just listening.
Listening to deadhead talk of his adventures makes one feel even more sloth like.
Me: I did three miles.
Dead head: I did 24 miles carrying a 40lb rucksack.
Me:….
Me: I’m still proud!
And I might even be prouder of you than you are of yourself. I don’t want to get into a who is proudest of Tulip contest, ’cause I’m sure all the consistent regular readers will beat my ass, but there’s nothing more impressive than people setting goals and pursuing them.
It’s no coincidence that my BMDM playlist contains two variations of the same theme.
We’re all the same person and yet we’re all unique. Whee!
Deadhead, as always is charming and modest.
Especially since the guy ran 73 miles, carrying 91lbs!
I’ve seen that guy on Zoom. He doesn’t look at all like his picture.
I used the excuse of having to go into work this morning at 4am to be lazy about our Sunday hike.
Dinner is flank steak with a green chimichurri and smoky red chimichurri, asparagus, black-eyed peas and rice tossed with pesto.
We are trying to find a way to sneak our hike in the week.
I’m winding up my Bataan Memorial Death March training. Yesterday was my last full-length Saturday. I still have a full-length Wednesday but Wednesdays are much shorter (albeit much faster) than Saturdays, so … I’m over the worst of it.
This has been a weird year. Although the Bataan Memorial Death March has a virtual coming up, I’m not going to be an entrant. Instead, I’ll run a personal substitute on March 21st (which would have been the date for an in person BMDM) and help others do the virtual event on April 11th.
I’m in better shape than I was a year ago, but not as good of shape as two years ago. It’s hard to maintain discipline, but I can’t totally blow off my fitness. Hardrock is right around the corner.
Hiya, Chafed!
Thanks for bringing us the weekly sweat, pain and progress!
I’ve got nothing too exciting to report. I hit every one of my walking goals, lifts went up and I survived another hockey game. We have a bunch of young dudes skating so the pace is murder.
Still fun.
Sleep was ok, food was good. I was a little sloppy this weekend, but no ragrets (not even one letter). I’m going to layer some mobility work in this week. Since I have been going to the ‘speak gym, I haven’t done any yoga and my flexibility is kinda shitty. I miss the bendy yoga girls. Weather is taking a turn for the better. Even though I walk in all weather, it’s nice to not have to dress for an Arctic explore every time I leave the house.
Enjoy your whisky and chocolate. You earned it.
Have a great week, GlibFitters!
After months of failure, I finally got the 175 lb atlas stone off the ground. I roared in triumph and beat my chest in triumph like King Kong.

Booze intake since 1 Jan is holding at about 4 drinks a day. Not good but not bad. Welding is going great. Maybe after I’m out and cool off for a while I can come back as an officer in the guard or the reserve.
Welding? Go on.
1/2 thru the course, started overhead welding last week
Cool. I never took any formal learning but do wear part application for a living.
I suck at stick as I only do it a few times a year.

Teddy Roosevelt was 40 when he lead the Rough Riders, guns a blazin’, in a charge up San Juan Hill. I don’t know what his 2 mile run time was, but seeing as he was fat and had asthma, it was probably not good.
Strength comes from the gym. Courage comes from hardship.
Weren’t the rough riders a cavalry force? Was he even on foot?
Ah, the cavalry force was short on horses, but Teddy had one.
When you watch the movie Jaws, do you wonder what kind of boat sank?
I’m saying, it would have been more impressive if he’d been on foot.
***
Theodore Roosevelt’s opening line was hardly remarkable for a presidential campaign speech: “Friends, I shall ask you to be as quiet as possible.” His second line, however, was a bombshell.
“I don’t know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot.”
Clearly, Roosevelt had buried the lede. The horrified audience in the Milwaukee Auditorium on October 14, 1912, gasped as the former president unbuttoned his vest to reveal his bloodstained shirt. “It takes more than that to kill a bull moose,” the wounded candidate assured them. He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a bullet-riddled, 50-page speech. Holding up his prepared remarks, which had two big holes blown through each page, Roosevelt continued. “Fortunately I had my manuscript, so you see I was going to make a long speech, and there is a bullet—there is where the bullet went through—and it probably saved me from it going into my heart. The bullet is in me now, so that I cannot make a very long speech, but I will try my best.”
***
Impressed yet?
Too much of a try hard.
And you left off the fact that he stil blathered on for too long anyway.
Bully!
***
The battle also proved to be the location of the “greatest victory” for the Rough Riders, as stated by the press and its new commander, Theodore Roosevelt, who eventually became vice president and later president of the United States, and who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in 2001 for his actions in Cuba and became the only U.S. president to receive the award.
***
President AND MOH winner!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melvin_E._Biddle
***
For his actions during the battle near Soy, Biddle was awarded the Medal of Honor at the White House on October 30, 1945, by President Harry Truman. When presenting the medal to Biddle, Truman whispered “People don’t believe me when I tell them that I’d rather have one of these than be President.”[6]
***
I did not know TR’s MOH was pothumus. I have read a few biographies of the man, and I do admire the man a great deal. How could you not admire a guy that, through sheer force of will, went from a feeble rich kid to probably one of the most vital men in history? His administration, on the other hand, was less admirable. By my assessment, his presidency marked the beginning of the progressive era.
It’s Alanis Morisette level ironic that one of the most self-made, self-reliant men in history turned to the opposite in politics.

So, a few weeks back I started to kinda stall out on my work outs. I was getting tired quicker than I had been, wasn’t able to walk the dog as far as I used to without my drop foot acting up, and so on. I mentioned all this to my neurologist last time I saw him, and he discounted it. I took a bit of work, but I convinced him this wasn’t the usual MS flareup, and that something else was afoot. So, MRI time. And I came back with compression in the area I damaged a few years ago in a work accident. That, and I was getting arthritis in my spine.
So, looks like I am getting a cortisone shot in that area, along with some extra Physical Therapy. So, yeah me?
Oh, and my governor is Kate Brown (Kunt Clown, she doesn’t deserve the e) the one right above you, but she makes Newsome look smart, which is really saying something. She was an “environmental lawyer” so, you know, job killer.
How old are you, zwak?
Any special diet strategies for the MS?
I turned 50 about a month ago.
There is a lot of talk about dieting around the MS community. But I haven’t followed one yet, as I have not found one that seems to be backed up by actual science and data, as opposed to SCIENCE! and DATA! (also know as gibberish and anecdote) But, my wife is a huge organic food advocate anyway, so I don’t really eat much in the way of junk food to start with, and I have slowly cut back on the amount of beer I drink. I am now down to about 1-2 a week, and I quit smoking around five years ago. But, I am way too sedentary, especially in the rainy season. Once it drys out, I will start biking again, which is huge for both exercise and mood.
The biggest thing I hate about MS is the loss of hiking. And that fucking sucks. I wanted to get into mountaineering a bit around a decade ago but always thought I just needed to get in better shape. Well, now I know better.
“drop foot”? What is that?
I just had a lower back MRI. My spine is hammered dog shit.
Drop foot is when you can’t get the toe and ankle portion of one foot or the other to flex up, which is a huge part of walking. Instead, you kind of end up lifting your knee higher and clomping your foot down like a horse.
Aaaah, that sounds no good. I am having serious pain in my right leg and foot numbness. Hence the MRI as the doc thought it is all sciatic nerve related. Seems most of my disk herniation is on my left side and the pain is right leg. Although some herniation on the right side too so who knows. Like I said, hammered dog shit. He recommended physical therapy. Not being able to do what I used to do really pisses me off and anger is not a good emotion.
Where in the People’s Republic of Oregon are you?
Just ordered 200 more rounds of 7.62 from trueshotgunclub.com – steel cased. Also trying 50 rds of 9mm TulAmmo just for the hell of it. I guess you can’t reload the steel case, but might be at least worth it for outdoor targets. I don’t reload myself at this point.
Thinking about it though…for the ranges that allow you to collect brass…do we want to think about offering a reloading service internal to glibs – or are there just a couple of folks who would be interested in spent brass?
Anyone that shoots should be interested in brass, if you can’t use it yourself one of your buddies can.
One shot ak Tulammo. Works just fine.
I’ve.

I found it the other day. I’m pretty sure it was in the 2017 archive. A search for “monocle” within that archive should turn it up.
SP might have put that on the archive site.
It never worked for me. That or I never figured out how to make it work.
Re:
I don’t think this really “means” anything, so to speak. Virus gonna virus. It was going to have its way according to its own whims regardless of what we did. The places that “do” worse really are just more crowded and/or have more old, sickly people, it seems to me.
Absent sending sick people back into old folks’ homes, of course.
And it’s been this way since forever.
