Ignoring Clint Eastwood's advice in "Dirty Harry" that opinions, like certain body parts, are best kept to yourself.
Hard to be serious at a time like this

The coronavirus is named after the crownlike spikes that protrude from its surface. The virus is enveloped in a bubble of oily lipid molecules, which falls apart on contact with soap. One of my children sent me an article about how the elderly are being cared for by their children in Sardinia, Italy.

"Thelma and Louise" came to mind, and how that movie ended, which caused a big problem for the studio with a major hit on their hands, how are they going to make a sequel?
