More coronavirus headlines
No-one’s leaving their house very much. It’s cold and grey and dark outside. And that image of little Cosette watching the crowds makes me feel so sad.

Some nicer coronavirus-related things.
This pandemic has brought out the worst in some, but the best in others. I’ve been saving some stuff regarding humans being bros.
This one made goosebumps rise on my skin:
What all of us should be doing:

America Ferrera‘s big farewell as Amy may be pushed to next fall. The exiting Superstore actress confirmed on Friday that NBC’s No. 1 comedy is shutting down production on Season 5 sooner than anticipated due to the coronavirus pandemic, a move that could inhibit the show’s ability to properly conclude her character’s storyline. “Today is…

Awww man. (Obviously this is a tiny, tiny drop in the big sea of bad coronavirus-related things happening right now.)

Passing this along.
Everything is virus-y, have some animals.
I got woken up today by a text from the local surgery basically saying “DON’T COME ANYWHERE NEAR US IF YOU HAVE CORONAVIRUS!” And turns out Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson currently both have it, as you probably know.

Ah, an epidemic. That special time when everyone suddenly realises that maybe, just maybe, they should be washing their hands more often (apparently a lot of folks seem to view this practice as optional rather than essential). Whilst sufferers like myself sit back in the smug knowledge that we’ve been washing our hands properly, not shaking hands and opening doors using bits of kitchen paper for years, the rest of the world has a nasty case of sudden-onset OCD.

This whole story, I think, is something that needs to be shared.

So it seems we’re leaving the EU on the same day the Coronavirus has arrived in Britain.
Sure would’ve been nice if we hadn’t alienated all our allies, burnt all our bridges and constantly voted against the NHS which is one of the very few good things about this country! Sure would’ve been nice.
My thoughts on the Coronavirus
From Strange Planet. I too will never deplete my supply of concerns. Also I like that the little alien has socks.
