Dog Days

Not yet, but don't tell Yeager that. This is the greatest time of his life, despite the mass casualties.

I am enjoying all the punditry surrounding sports and college and any other mass gatherings of people. "We are only going to play Auburn if it's safe," says the Alabama Athletic Director. Guess what Mr. A.D.? You can't decide that in advance. You open your stadium, sell 85,000 tickets (OK, maybe 60,000 so you can social distance a little). The game happens, everyone has a great time, and a few weeks later 1,000 of those attendees get sick but nobody can say for sure if they got it at the game or that trip to the Piggly Wiggly last Thursday... what I'm saying is, this is here to stay until (and if) there's a vaccine, so people will just have to do their best, assume whatever amount of risk is acceptable to them, wash their hands often, don't lick doorknobs, etc. And continue to pray, if that's your thing, for the vulnerable people in your life.
