Coronavirus or: how I learned to stop worrying and love social distancing

Some of my Readers may have heard about the global pandemic that is ongoing as of this writing. Check out these tips and tricks!

My comrades in isolation

Over-the-air television

From what I’ve read, the coronavirus will not enter the home via TV transmissions (the cure, however, is another story). So, channel-flipping seems a safe pastime.

One of my cherished companions is NHK World (channel 28.2), an international version of Japan’s public broadcasting station. Programs include:

  • a menagerie of white people, egged on by a panel of designers, commenting on the merits of various furniture innovations,
  • flabbergasted reporting of the seemingly ordinary (people sleeping in their cars, e.g.),
  • conversations with yam farmers.

Walls

Mine are the color of fresh cow’s milk. With an accent wall the color of the pail. Two things that go together far better than do these two hues.

Thoughts

Most of them are too mundane even for this web-log. But I will let you, my Readers, be the judge of that.

P.S.: “Novel” Coronavirus?

I resent the Book Industry for product placement during these trying times.
