Oh, you ask it quite regularly. Often, even. You may not be satisfied with the response. But such is life sometimes. Your voice is heard. Beyond that I don't know what to tell you. No I don't. Not EVER in the public spaces like facebook. I show what may be careless trust in the Soundhole because I have a history here. Maybe some day that trust will prove to be foolish. I've deleted posts from conservative friends who have posted conservative ideas on my facebook page. I don't do the same if leftist/progressive folks post to my page because that is safe. But I would never discuss in public the things we discuss here. I would lose my shows, my workshops. It isn't a symmetrical world out there.

A friend just let us know he's having a quarentine party.
We're not invited.

Back in the day when I had an office with employees and clients I had to massage daily, I held my cards back most all the time when talking politics, religion, women, personalities, etc, etc, etc. I didn’t lie about what I felt. I didn’t go along with shenanigans. I tried to moderate strange behavior of clients that were good to me and were basically good people with some rough edges. Tried to protect them from themselves when I thought they might get in trouble with higher ups. It’s what you do. It’s called doing business. Your fb page is part of your biz marketing effort. The soundhole is a place where you can bang your drum. And you bang that drum.

It can be quite a chore to sort it out properly but having different FB friend lists with different privacy settings etc. can be useful.

Boris Johnson in hospital at recommendation of his doctor for tests in light of tenth day of symptoms. Fingers crossed for him. Queen gave rare talk to nation. Said what you'd expect. She neglected to mention her ratings.

Thanks for that link, Michael. It was interesting.
I did a lot of reading this weekend, mostly with an eye to trying to assess what the future may look like. My un-expert predictions:
April will be bad, not only because the virus will be peaking in a lot of North America, but because people's patience will be wearing thin. May will be slightly better because we'll see things improving but it won't be good.
When this first wave passes, those of us who've been spared will still be vulnerable and the virus will still be out there. For those of us at higher risk, life probably won't change much until 2021, when a vaccine will (we hope) be found.
I hope I'm wrong.

Haven't been yet how someone gets a tiger to tip its head back and then run the stick up its nose (as far as need be for a tiger).

"In short, the toilet paper industry is split into two, largely separate markets: commercial and consumer. The pandemic has shifted the lion’s share of demand to the latter. People actually do need to buy significantly more toilet paper during the pandemic — not because they’re making more trips to the bathroom, but because they’re making more of them at home. With some 75% of the U.S. population under stay-at-home orders, Americans are no longer using the restrooms at their workplace, in schools, at restaurants, at hotels, or in airports." marker.medium.com/what-everyones-getting-wrong-about-the-toilet-paper-shortage-c812e1358fe0
