| #3 Gee. Bobby, I mentioned to my wife that someone concerned about catching the Wu Flu, especially with her background, wouldn't be doing half the stuff she was doing. Ask me about my livable garage. (That was back around round 2 of 'only 2 more weeks of shutdown'. Much better now.) |

| #2 My 44-year old son has a 44-year old wife with type 1 diabetes and has his parents, in-laws, and sister's family in a virtual lockdown out of concern for his wife. If we were to eat inside a restaurant, he wants us to quarantine for 14 days - from him and his wife and kid. The CDC data says 463 people have died of COVID with a diabetes comorbidity since Feb. 1. Not a single one under the age of 45. Do you think my otherwise fairly bright kid would accept that fact? I'm not even gonna try. |

| #1 In the table data preview I scanned, upwards of 2/3 of the deaths are over 65 years old. A lot of lack of perspective in the media reports, doncha know? |
