    Yes: after standing in one line six feet from other shoppers just to get into a store, then again to get to the cashier, I discovered that I had left my wallet in my wife’s car and had wasted 20 minutes. Does that count?

    Laugh and the world laughs with you.  Sneeze and you're isolated alone. (and all this tiem I thought it was coughing)

    The trouble I found is that if you have allergies, you're coughing now and it doesn't mean you have the virus.

    My allergies make me sneeze (and touching my face is a must, as everything just about everything there itches madly)

    Not so much my face that itches, but my eyes, so I try to use a tissue to rub them, not my finger.

    I learned how incredibly vulnerable we all are to numerous pandemic diseases that could arise within our food factory systems.

    Doing personal research, reading various medical literature.

    The potential threat is much more ominous than most are aware. COVID-19 is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

    I learned that mice can only jump up about 6 inches if they want to get onto something. I thought they could jump higher than that.

      That probably depends on the particular mouse. They’re not all the same, you know.

    These are housemice.  Track and field mice might be able to jump higher.
