Day 399: starving for contact, even I am

-

 It should not have taken me so long to put these pieces together.

Since I began to Stay The F*** At Home, I've been reading fewer books, magazines, and other one-way forms of communication.  Most of my input has been Reddit, Quora, and various substack and other blogs with active comment sections.  I've also felt more inclined to write on my own blogs.

But I'm an introvert, with low need for variety, generally quite happy to stay at home.  I had simply assumed that this meant I also didn't have much need for social contact of any kind, even in the face of facts like the eagerness with which I join video calls.  The answer is, and always has been, that I need contact with other minds, minds who think at least somewhat like me.

So let's hear it for blogs.  They make isolation bearable.

Setting the Scene

My older son, a History major, has decided to keep a journal, because undoubtedly history is being made. This pandemic is much worse than SARS or MERS, both of which stayed safely confined to countries I had never visited. While I hesitate to say that it is worse than Ebola, because the latter is far more lethal, it has spread wider and touched the lives of far more people. So I'm starting to keep a journal too. I wonder what it will turn into. You all know how we heard about a novel coronavirus in Wuhan, the stringent quarantines imposed by the Chinese government, and its early spread outside China.  About the only good I can see in that is that the graphs showed the true meaning of the word "exponentially", which has been widely misused over the past few years to describe anything unusually rapid. You all know how the Chinese made the virus' genetic code available and statistics about its spread; you have read the analyses about the difference between the number o

Day 27. Wednesday. Bike again.

-
I was going to go for a walk but changed my mind. Bicycling definitely works my heart and lungs harder. So I rode almost as far as the next town (and yes, I do know that in some parts of the US that would take hours, not 13 minutes) and back. I'm not terribly fit! but I was able to do the usual stretches and push-ups when I got back. We're still sharing the cooking, so today my elder soon made some chicken. It was excellent. At work, I'm having to "thrive on ambiguity", which is American for "figure out what to do". We've also done laundry, washing the masks that people had worn. In case you were wondering, we continue the routines of washing, disinfecting, and so on. Now for the numbers. Yesterday the slow improvement continued, though I was too lazy to blog about it. Today, the county has about the same number of confirmed cases in hospital, and roughly 8% increase in both total cases (I'm not sure how those are counted) and deaths. Statewi

Day 21: Thursday. Recriminations.

-
The streets were quiet this morning, as before. I forget the exact count, but something like two cyclists, one dog, and two or three walkers. I saw many cars, but only because I crossed a main road. Somebody actually honked at me for jaywalking. I should seriously consider getting the bicycle out this weekend, or perhaps tomorrow. Lack of car traffic should make an early ride much more pleasant. The charts make dispiriting reading. Both the US and UK are doubling their caseloads every three days, even now. Spain is doing better than this and Italy much better. In this county, after two and half weeks locked down, cases continue to rise at the rate of perhaps 10% each day, though the counts are certainly inaccurate. Locally, I see more complaints about shortages of basic supplies, violations of social distancing, and so on. On the Web, cudgels and daggers are being raised against politicians who refused to see this coming. I too am past being kind, past mincing words about such a pr
