We're going to be spending a lot of time in lockdown so...

post uplifting, lighthearted things related to coronavirus

or...

post movies, series, youtube vids, entertainment or anything really, that's helped you get your mind off of the global crisis.

Lady Gaga is doing a live concert with a bunch of other artists that will air on ABC, CBS and NBC on Sat, April 18th at 8pm ET|5pm PT. I think it's nice to have something to look forward to after everything's been cancelled. She also raised a bunch of money from rich people to help with the pandemic around the world but won't be asking for any donations from viewers which is considerate. Interview starts at 7:14.

Hank Green talks about the sudden loss of expectation in the midst of coronavirus.

Two very surprisingly deep twitter threads by a steak sandwich company has gone viral on twitter. Both are their own thread and worth a read.

The Plague, novel by Albert Camus -- 5-stars

Pandemic, novel by Robin Cook -- 0-stars (Sorry about that Robin, used to love your stuff but so many have just panned this one. For instance, coroner does autopsy on first victim and wonders if it might be a new Spanish Flu pandemic ... in the end I think 7 people die, making the whole title a joke ... whole resolution of plot left hanging as protagonist hugs his wife to wrap it all up. ??????)

Contagion (movie) 1-star

Outbreak (movie) 3-stars

Already finished the new Ozark episodes. I've been working on my figure drawing and painting(watercolor and acrylic but want to switch to oil at some point--have all the stuff just haven't done it yet). Other than that I try to record some music when I'm motivated/play guitar. And read the forums/youtube.

Btw, feel free to show off your paintings/music here if you’d like.

How not to react to what seems a case of level-headed self quarantine and notifications of such:

I learned about the butter and coffee thing a few years ago. I still prefer half & half but if I'm out of it then butter works just fine.
