Pandemic Edition Sunday March 29, 2020

1. So the US is now the highest nation in the world with the most deaths of the Covid-19 virus.

And then tRump tweeted this:




“President Trump is a ratings hit. Since reviving the daily White House briefing Mr. Trump and his coronavirus updates have attracted an average audience of 8.5 million on cable news, roughly the viewership of the season finale of ‘The Bachelor.’ Numbers are continuing to rise...



...On Monday, nearly 12.2 million people watched Mr. Trump’s briefing on CNN, Fox News and MSNBC, according to Nielsen — ‘Monday Night Football’ numbers. Millions more are watching on ABC, CBS, NBC and online streaming sites, and the audience is expanding. On Monday, Fox News...

...alone attracted 6.2 million viewers for the president’s briefing — an astounding number for a 6 p.m. cable broadcast, more akin to the viewership for a popular prime-time sitcom...

How disgusting is this? As if we're a reality show. People are dying and all he cares about is his ratings? **I'm documenting this so people will see how dangerous this man was to our nation.


2. Things to do during this stay at home order:

I really enjoyed this story of a 19 year old Orthodox Jewish girl who leaves her community, searching for herself.

3. Take an Italian online class:

I'm currently taking Italian through Babbel. Hopefully this will also help with my current project set in Italy.

4. Washing those hands. Remember do it for 20 seconds. I've been singing the words to a number of Prince songs.

5. Humor **Because we all need a little relief right now:

First let me start off with today's winner: Misha Gericke Go to this post to pick out your prize http://denisejaden.blogspot.ca/2013/03/march-madness-is-here-wipmadness.html And then email Denise your choice at d(at)denisejaden(dot)com and she'll get it to you. Last Summer I was lucky enough to be able to attend ALA as it was held in Anaheim, California. I live about 30 minutes away so I didn't have any excuse. I went. One galley I picked up, A YEAR OF WRITING DANGEROUSLY by Barbara Abercrombie, sounded intriguing as it's a collection of quotes, lessons, prompts from a UCLA Extension Writing teacher.
