Mexico took a big hit with swine flu. They say they are being cautious. I have supported everything this president has done, and now he has gone trump. I initially thought he knew what's coming and was going out to keep spirits up. Now though, it's just not understandable. Here in Yucatan, or in Tixkokob anyway, we are rolling with protocol. People are taking it seriously. Will it help us in the end? We are quite isolated out here on the peninsula.....
And, Ive read that other states are on lockdown as well. AMLO has not got the support of the state governors. Maybe it will confine itself to central Mexico. We shall see.

I rode as well. Took the recently posted SLT for 20ish miles.
I've been trying to get a good picture of these guys for years, but they're a skittish bunch. I still didn't get a good one, but at least they weren't clear across their pen like usual.

Mrs datlas is starting to get paranoid. Said she wants me to change out of work clothes downstairs (where I come in) before coming upstairs. I tried to explain that I wear a white coat at work on the rare chance I see any patients IRL these days, and that I wash my hands carefully before leaving work.
But in the interest of marital bliss, the Dude abides.
Maybe I need to start drinking White Russians?

So heres a question. Serious one too.
The boss goes to hand out the masks. He sticks his hand in the box and grabs 2. And gives them to ? How should we do this? He is contaminating the box with his hands or everyone is creating a nice popuri of germs by sticking their hand in it.
What's protocol?

I have this one patient who insists he does not drink alcohol yet drinks 2 bottles of wine daily. I have another who says he does not drink alcohol yet has a 6 pack daily.

I've just finished one and am reading another book about global warming, speaking about denial. I can see why some people would deny the corona virus or global warming. The effects don't seem to be clear and present. For global warming, doing something about it would require disastrous capital expenditures effecting bonuses and sort of abstract anyway. But the virus is not abstract and people in large numbers are dying. Maybe people have been lied to so consistantly by so called leaders (remember weapons of mass destruction) we no longer believe anything. Sort of the way chicken little kept saying the sky was falling and all the animals eventually stopped taking cover.

Not great with visible ones, either. See convenience store "food" inventory and drivers with cellphones.

Ah, but the risks there are invisible (diabetes, heart disease, etc) or mainly to others. We have very few visible threats in society because we're so good at eliminating them. Lots of invisible ones though, even though it only takes a tiny bit of thinking to realize they're there.

Mine is the same datlas. When I get picked up from the airport she sprays my luggage down with lysol, makes me sanitize my hands before getting in the car, and upon entering the house I have to strip out of my uniform. I’m pretty sure the next time I come home there will be a oven in our mud room for my clothes.

Wife does intensive, “artisanal,” multi-day, cognitive testing with kids and has three interrupted evals pending. I find that pretty scary and may ask her to refund their money and bail, possibly forever. We’re not kids.
