Completely infuriated.
One of my best friends and his wife have had Coronavirus for about a week. Up in NJ. They have been living apart and in isolation (why, I don't know, it's dumb) and she posted a 'heartwarming' story about her heroic husband leaving quarantine to come bring her vitamins...

My friend Sherry's picture at John's Hopkins went viral the other day (imagine the irony!) and she's been getting interviewed around the globe. Hope she stays safe...

Also, you should get your yearly flu shots now, even tho it does not help with Coronavirus. Why? Because if you get the regular damn flu you'll be hospitalized next to people who have Corona and taking up resources they really need.
