AND YESTERDAY'S WHITE HOUSE BRIEFING WAS VERY SOBERING BUT NECESSARY. If the big number of deaths in the early part of the press conference freak you out, please watch until the :55 mark at least. Everyone needs to watch this.
AND TO TAKE YOUR MIND OFF IT, HERE'S SOME COOL VIDEOS FROM THE COLORADO SYMPHONY They are putting their music online and doing some really cool videos with fun music and I love it.
HOW ARE YOU SLEEPING? YOU NEED TO SLEEP FOR YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM. This article lays out exactly how important it is to take care of your immune system right now and how much difference a decent amount of sleep makes. Get your rest, people!
CHINA HAS BEEN LYING ABOUT CASES AND DEATHS AND THIS IS MY SHOCKED FACE American Intelligence has issued a report that says China has lied about how many covid 19 cases it had and how many people died. There is nothing surprising about this. Nothing. If they had been honest, the rest of the world may have reacted differently. But then again, why would we expect them to be honest?
WHAT IF THE CORONAVIRUS IS OUR MESSAGE TO JUST SLOW DOWN? This column is lovely. I'm not going to lie, I may have cried a little reading it this morning. It's about finding the good in all this and listening the message we may be getting in the form of a pandemic. I'm probably going to read it today because it filled me with hope.
LISTENER LONI JUST SENT ME THIS AND NOW I'M MOVED TO TEARS This is a video of the studio musicians in Nashville singing a hymn called It's Well With My Soul. It's gorgeous enough, but Loni sent me this about the background of the song:
This hymn was written after traumatic events in Spafford's life. The first two were the death of his four-year-old son and the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, which ruined him financially (he had been a successful lawyer and had invested significantly in property in the area of Chicago that was extensively damaged by the great fire).[2] His business interests were further hit by the economic downturn of 1873, at which time he had planned to travel to Europe with his family on the SS Ville du Havre. In a late change of plan, he sent the family ahead while he was delayed on business concerning zoning problems following the Great Chicago Fire. While crossing the Atlantic Ocean, the ship sank rapidly after a collision with a sea vessel, the Loch Earn, and all four of Spafford's daughters died. His wife Anna survived and sent him the now famous telegram, "Saved alone …". Shortly afterwards, as Spafford traveled to meet his grieving wife, he was inspired to write these words as his ship passed near where his daughters had died.[3] Bliss called his tune Ville du Havre, from the name of the stricken vessel.[4]
MY FRIEND BARB SAYS ZOOM NEEDS A NOBEL PEACE PRIZE AND I'M INCLINED TO AGREE RIGHT NOW.
BURGER KING FRANCE IS TELLING PEOPLE HOW TO MAKE WHOPPERS AT HOME And this is the kind of humanity I love to see. Read more here.
A CLASSIC MOVIE FILM FESTIVAL ONLINE? YES PLEASE And TCM, which used to be Turner Classic Movies, has this film festival every year but this year they are just doing it online. The lineup of films is really incredible and I'm already making notes. If you've never seen movies like Neptune's Daughter with Ethel Merman and swimming lovelies it is truly a spectacular like none we'd see today.
MISSING SPORTS? HOW ABOUT SOME IRACING? We're talking virtual races here. FoxSports has now added iRacing to it's regular lineup as there is literally no other sports to cover. Other than the Belarus league, but who can pronounce those names anyway?

WE'RE ALL WASHING OUR HANDS COMPULSIVELY, SO HERE ARE SOME GREAT MOISTURIZERS And I'm being dead serious, you need to moisturize so here you go.
TO GOLF OR NOT TO GOLF, IN COLORADO THAT IS THE QUESTION There is a bit of confusion about whether or not golf course in Colorado are allowed to be open. Most municipal and city owned courses are closed, but many privately owned public courses are open. I'd say if you want to walk 18, or use your own cart ALONE, go for it. But don't ask me, I'm not the Governor.
EVERY CLOUD HAS A SILVER LINING And this Twitter account nails it.

HERE'S HOPING WE DO QUARANTINE BETTER AS COUPLES THAN CHINA Because have seen a spike in divorce filings after restrictions have been loosened. This is not entirely unexpected and I hope that none of you are plotting your escape right now. Try therapy! Online therapy even!
IS COVID 19 IN YOUR COMMUNITY? TIME TO TEST THE WASTEWATER I think this is really interesting. Dutch scientists have figured out that Covid 19 appears in the wastewater of a community well before any actual cases present themselves. Why is this good? Because it would give us a better idea of how far this virus has spread. And it's just kind of cool how much information can be gleaned from our collective poop.
DENVER RESTAURANTS ARE FEEDING PEOPLE IN NEED And this is just another example of how good people and capitalism do good things.
