Self-isolation Day 21.
Last night I went to bed at 10:30, fell asleep quickly, got up once at 4:45, woke up at 7am, fell back asleep, finally waking/getting up at 8am. Not bad!
Well, last night I had that dream again. I’m in college, not the university I went to but a much larger one. I’m in the wing of a large dormitory and I realize it’s the 3rd day of classes and I haven’t registered yet. Lol!
After watching the lunchtime news Teresa informed me that my quarantine only extends to the end of May; better than the end of the year.
Boris Johnson, England’s Prime Minister, has been moved to Intensive Care.
I finished watching Neflix’s series Pandemic: How to Prevent an Outbreak. Some statistics and quotes from the series:
The World Health Organization estimates there are 1 billion seasonal flu cases worldwide and up to 650,000 deaths every year. A flu pandemic would likely kill hundreds of millions of people. Most countries remain underprepared and underinvested in measures to deal with this threat.
Ron Klain, White House Ebola Response Coordinator (2014-15): “Our history with this as a country is we have one of these incidents, we invest very heavily in this sort of stuff, and then we slack it. It’s an urgent need. And we obviously saw how close to the edge we have been. One time we’re not gonna be that lucky.”
Syra Madad, Senior Director, Special Pathogens Program, NYC Health and Hospitals: “Failure to take this as a global crisis will have dire consequences. We’re all in this together, and the greater our complacency, the greater the crisis will be.”
Dennis Carroll, Director, Emerging Threats Unit, US Agency for International Development “At some point in time, there will be an event where an emergent virus, like the 1918 virus, will emerge and will spread around the world. And we’re talking about the wellbeing of seven-plus billion people. Policy makers and planners, global health leaders, they should be thinking about this in serious terms. We have to be prepared.”

Joke of the day
My wife just
opened the car door for me. It would
have been a nice gesture had we not been going 70 miles an hour.
