Bugger; just found out that a friend from my previous job died today. She was in ICU with Covid for a few weeks, and was even posting from there a few days ago, but didn’t make it out. I’ve known her for ten years. She was funny, kind and leaves 2 young kids (7 and 4), as well as her poor husband. I’ve said it before, but this year can do one.

Scientists: We're going to send an unmanned spacecraft on a 7 month 120 million mile journey, where we will land a vehicle in a precise place on another planet to spend 2 years making detailed studies. Public: Wow, that's amazing! I can't even begin to comprehend how you'd do that. Scientists: Also, if you wear a simple piece of cloth ply over your face, like surgeons do every day, you can keep from spreading a nasty virus to other people. Public: Oh f*** off, you know nothing.
