Post 349. NO, IT'S NOT WORLD WAR 3.

IT'S WORLD WIDE CORONAVIRUS.
Here we go again.
Yet another balls-up by the human race.  
One way or another mankind does seem intent on wiping itself out, doesn't it? If it's not mines and nuclear weapons it's a pandemic. 
This time the threat is not WW3, it's WWC. 
So are we ready for it? 
Do me a favour...
Last century we weren't ready for either of two world wars.
When have we ever been ready for anything? 
But we'll blunder on. 
Because we always do. 
And somehow we'll come out on the winning side. 
Because we always do. 
And throughout it all we'll keep joking. 
Because - yep - we always do. 
My favourite jokes so far on Facebook:

There will be plenty more.
In the meantime: 
We are sorry for the many old friends whose social get-togethers have now been postponed indefinitely and with all those whose living conditions or personal circumstances will make self-isolation increasingly burdensome. 
We're lucky. We're blessed with space and company. 
Good luck to every one of you.
