Apparently, during London’s Great Plague, Samuel Pepys was the very first pandemic blogger .

Not only that, but Pepys' journals are one of the few written documents that survived the Great Fire of London and as such, give us an interesting perspective on that time. As the article referenced briefly alludes, Pepys' diaries contained many descriptions of his sexual adventures and in later years became a source of entertainment for British readers. And finally, which is where (one of) my interests (history of mathematics) entered the picture, Pepys says that he is going to pursue advanced studies in mathematics and learn—arithmetic!

I thought the anti-vaxxers were pretty wacky, but they've got nothing on the covidiots.

But at long last Twitter has put a fact checking muzzle on Trump https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/05/27/trump-twitter-label/so the twit-in-chief is retaliating by threatening to shut down social media.

Unknown spreading of COVID? This certainly falls under the category of not good news.

It turns out that the corona virus could have a much longer-lasting economic effect by causing a reduction in the birthrate. This from economists at the Brookings Institution.

Trump likes her because they have something in common - they're both morons. I watched his televised response to a reporter's question about the woman having curious theories involving DNA from aliens, and his response included: "I thought her voice was an important voice but I know nothing about her". Really? How do you conclude that she must be heard even though you know nothing about her? As I said....both are morons.

All he needed to know about her to know that hers is an important voice is that she supports the use of Chlorohydroquinone. The Internet has given every crackpot in the world a free soap box, so I herewith contribute my own personal conspiracy theory... COVID 19 was cooked up by Dr. Fauci in his kitchen, and, using technology developed by Bill Gates, loaded onto a thumb drive which was dropped in the parking lot of that Wuhan market and, in much the same way as Iran's centrifuges were taken down, turned loose on the public when a curious finder plugged it in to the market's computer. And they're now in league with Dr. Immanuel, plotting to use the same technique to spread alien DNA throughout America!

I can support my theory by citing correspondence I've received directly from the aliens.
Your addenda, while also true, are, nonetheless, mere speculation.

In that case, she's got her tracks well covered. I've never seen her do anything other than eat pizza. Hmmm... I wonder if she and Ciro (the pizza "slinger") are passing messages back and forth in the grated cheese? Maybe all those times it looks stringy are because it's really long, thin strips of paper. She does linger over her cheese for an awful long time.

I kid you not. You don't have to make up this stuff; someone(s) already believes it.

I never believe anything unless Elvis and Marilyn have verified it from their laboratory on Mars.

We need to be careful verifying the data from Mars less Ming the Merciless gets into the act and sends a new virus on the radio waves, probably using TikTok.

The very worst aspect of the Internet is that it's given every crackpot, lunatic, and agent provocateur, not to mention every just plain nasty person, a free platform with unlimited reach, and has thereby made the world a FAR worse place!
