Because my wife and I are both WFH indefinitely, we’re able to begin fostering beagle rescues for a local shelter while they await adoption. The shelter has 14 dogs arriving tomorrow from a MA pharmaceutical testing lab.
We get our first foster on Friday. Our dog is going to be so happy. Double the beagles, double the arooooos.
They have a ton of health anxiety in general, but specifically in the area of the brain. Like, they’re always worried they’re having a stroke. They’ve seen Contagion and even said “At least this doesn’t get in the brain like in Contagion, now THAT would put me over the edge.”
COVID-19 just isn’t a very descriptive name. “Influenza”, “cholera”, and “dysentery” have etymologies stemming from either their perceived causes or symptoms.
Obviously people are in fact calling it ‘China virus’, I’m just saying they’re not calling it that because it means anything in particular more than ‘COVID’ or ‘coronavirus’. ‘SARS’ isn’t exactly brimful of meaning, was that ever ‘China virus’? Is it ‘China virus’ anywhere outside USA?
99% chance Trump tweets something like: WOW, 100% approval of the job “Trump” is doing against the Chinese virus! 75% of Patriots say it’s great or superb. Thank you, working hard! MAGA/KAG @loudobbs
