   As I see companies going WFH during this crisis, I cannot help but wonder whether Cerner is going to be allowed to join them. Almost twenty years later, Cerner is still famous for the parking lot full of cars memo.

   My county has its first #2019-nCoV / #COVID-19 case, someone who had travelled overseas recently. In my local area, all school districts are shut down until the end of March or beginning of April, but I do not know about other parts of this county.

    It isn't likely to happen, but $EMPLOYER should put all of us that are not on assignments onto WFH and assign us to support other federal agencies that are working to contain and control the #COVID-19 outbreak. I'm not at all sure what we could offer (since most of us are definitely non-medical) Which reminds me: I need to go out into the garage and see whether there's an old u…

    I think I'm going to have to find the "Duck season, wabbit season" cartoon and watch it a few times. I wonder if I'll still enjoy it now that I've long since grown up. So many things that were so enjoyable back then, I've seen t hem again later and wondered how I ever liked them. (For example, the Speed Racer series.)

    Think about this: according to US CDC, 81% of people globally do not wash their hands after they urinate or defecate. In some countries, they just do not have the infrastructure set up to allow that. But I noticed when I was working in #Baton_Rouge, #LA, one time that three out of five men did not even pretend to wash their hands. One out of five pretended, and one out of five …
