Aug 13 2020 - Mingling on Friday the 13th

 

There are only two Friday the 13ths in 2020 - the first one happened in March just before lockdown and the next one is November.  That may or may not be a problem for Port Dover. It is the destination town for its  motorcycle gatherings on Friday the 13th occurrences.  There were 100,000 bikers in September 2019.  The next summer gathering will be August 2021.  They might expect the same numbers - and we might expect to still be expected to wear masks and social distance.  

Will they be wearing mingle masks?  Here's the latest in COVID-19 masks.
It is Canadian-made, clear face covering.  This is expected to help in a few ways:  the sound is better, it is better for reading lips for the hard of hearing, smiles and other expressions will be seen, and less fogging of glasses.  

 


This could be a nice step forward for our social interaction.  It makes me wonder why countries already wearing masks aren't using this type - but then all the articles say they are wearing surgical masks.  I guess that question is for another time.

I thought I would catch up on the latest COVID-19 jokes:

When you work at a bank and 2 guys with masks come in ... but they're just robbing the place

Day 1:  I have stocked up on enough non-perishable food and supplies to last me for months, maybe years, so that I can remain in isolation for as long as it takes to see out this pandemic
Day 2: I am in the supermarket because I wanted a Twix

The owner of my gym just emailed a more thorough, detailed, thoughtful plan for dealing with the coronavirus than the President of the United States

Doctor: Your Covid-19 test came back positive
Patient: That can't be correct.  I have more than 300 rolls of toilet paper

Corona beer changes name to avoid association with the Coronavirus outbreak

I washed my hands so much due to Covid-19 that my exam notes from 1995 resurfaced

Friend in California unsuccessfully trying to get a test for coronavirus:
Q "Have you been to any countries experiencing an outbreak of coronavirus in the past two weeks?"
A "Yes, the USA"
