Greetings from the isolation ward

Regular readers will know that Walt works from his cabin in the pines, pretty much in self-quarantine or self-isolation or self-whatever 24/7. Mrs Walt thinks it's not enough that I don't go out. Now she thinks that people who might be carrying god-knows-what disease shouldn't come in! Like Ed., for instance, who usually sits at the same desk when we put this blog together. [Oh come on. Doesn't she know I'm sterile? Ed.]

It's a problem. We could call on Poor Len Canayen for some input, but since the National Hockey League just "paused" its 2019-20 season, he says he has nothing to write about.

The NHL isn't the only thing/activity that's been "paused". The Democratic primary campaigns have ground to a halt. And the Pope is stuck in his apartment (much like my goodself) so hasn't said anything foolish lately.

So here we are, with nothing to talk about besides the corona virus, and no chance of saying anything about that that you haven't already read. Don't be surprised if there aren't many new posts until next month. About all we can do, at least for today, is point you to good things that are being written by others, elsewhere. Like "Even in the midst of a health crisis, climate fanatics never miss an opportunity", by our old buddy Rex Murphy, in the National Post, 13/3/20.


Scraped this photo from the Babylon Bee. I don't understand the panic buying of toilet paper. There will be no shortage of the print editions of the New York Times and WaPo. [And, for Canucks, the Toronto Red Star. Ed.]
