It's named for the corona, which is another word for a halo. The cell of the virus has a halo of spiky bits around it to help it invade cells.

Sun's going down. Time to put away the umbrella and go on the hunt!

A fancy party with a paper parasol seems like a lovely idea, until it rains!

haaaa oh man it's stressful. Business stuff is getting delayed, events cancelled, and so on.
I hope you stay safe and get well soon. Stay hydrated

Thanks, I'm doing good so far. Successfully cancelled everything for the next two weeks so now the only way I'm getting any worse is if J catches it at work and passes it on!

I'm okay in my area of texas for now, except it feels like crazy drivers are getting crazier x.x
I’m in Atlanta area, the cases are doubling pretty quickly here.
I’m learning a lot from your posts Eva. & I’m watching the news lots.
Sad the news doesn’t cover the basics .
Yup, schools are closed here. I’m still working part time. I do delivery for food. My husband might start Working from home soon. His worked ordered him a laptop. I just have normal groceries. We are not stocked up. But next trip I’m definitely getting more staples.

We watched the virus movies, Outbreak & Contagion last night.
Keep safe everyone!

I had to order toilet roll on Amazon this week because all the supermarkets here are sold out lol.
The government is being so slow to react here. A lot of people still aren't taking it seriously. The quicker we take it seriously the quicker the epidemic will be over. While the advice is still to carry on as normal, it will keep spreading.

Ohhh that was really nice of them to get him a laptop!
Sadly I cannot do my job from home as it requires actual paperwork that is turned in by our drivers, but we have some savings so we should be okay if/when it finally reaches us. I feel like my region is an untouched pocket atm which is surreal.
