Last episode I was comparing our yearning for some good news about the virus to a sailor struggling to "round the Horn." There are better analogies for people who live through east-of-the-Rockies winters. They yearn for the first sight of spring. In some places, blooming crocuses might do the trick.

Have you noticed all the plexiglass windows popping up at the checkout counters? Some look improvised, while others look quite professional. What a sensible idea! These windows save the checkout person from being coughed on by a customer three feet away. I hope the windows remain in place after this virus panic is over.
It surprises me when something practical, sensible, and affordable is done in the USA. I think those little pieces of tape on the floor, that tell you where the 6 feet distance is, are also a good idea. Frankly I have always disliked standing (or parking or camping) close to other people.
