Forget toilet paper. The hottest commodity in Colorado high-country right now is alpine-touring skis haha

This is the perfect time to take road trips and explore the back country.

Which becomes illegal on Tuesday March 24 if you are from Denver. Doubt if they can enforce it.

Interview on PBS tonight with a doctor in Los Angeles talking about COVID 19.  Turns out the virus is everywhere, but only by testing can it be detected.
Think about that for a minute.  It is everywhere, but we can't detect it without testing.
Hold on.  Is it EVERYWHERE but you can't detect it without testing? 

Brings to mind a quick fix.

Yeah the maps you see are not showing proliferation of the virus, they are maps showing proliferation of test kits. And as test kit production ramps up, the number of positives will probably go dramatically.

It doesn't like nearly as many people are going to die of this as I had hoped. That's a shame. Also ebbing in China which is a real shame.
That’s fucked up. You need help bro.

Yeah, I was looking more to inspire thoughts like: "Yeah, it looks like this really might not be so devastating as they say." as opposed to; "darn it, the party is over before it even started"

I guess there has to be room for both.

One man's hope is another man's horror.
