We hear horrible stories about a horrible virus and are, therefore, forced to live in our abodes 24/7. Our sources of mind and body – churches and saloons – have been denied to us by the federal government, the state governors, the county riff raff, and other characters of bad taste and bad breath. We are pushed by the economic types to open the gates of possible perdition who are opposed by those Ripping Van Winkles. This group insists that we should go to sleep until the COVID 19 disappears – say like in 20 years. To clean up the confusion we have invited Dr. Adam London, Health Officer and Director of the Kent County Health Department. His background in science includes A Ph.D in Public Health/Epidemiology from Walden University (on the Mississippi River in Minneapolis). Let’s recruit membership during this morose period. Who do you know that would like to be eating his or her Krispies and catching the official BC programming?
Invocator: Mr. Keith D. Vandercook
Introducer: Paul Farr, MD (who was kind enough to suggest this program).
The Flu: ‘Ye can call it influenza if ye like,’ said Mrs. Machin. ‘There was no influenza in my young days. We called a cold and cold.’
The Card. Enoch Arnold Bennett (English novelist)
Laws of the Universe: The Three Laws of Thermodynamics: (1) You can’t win; (2) You can break even only on a very col day; (3) It never gets that cold.
From the Head Table: Patience: What you have when there are too many witnesses.
