Rhino at San Diego Zoo Safari Park (Taken 1.20.2020)

I don't really have much to write about today. I ran out to Big Lots and Grocery Outlet today to pick up some things for us and my parents. I figure the least I can do, if we have to pick up produce and milk and some dry goods, is not take up space in stores on weekends when it might be the only time to do so for people who are actually working. There are still plenty of people out and about living their lives, no face coverings, just living like everything's normal so I grabbed my things and split as quickly as I could. I will say that the Big Lots out on Lake Murray is pretty stocked (minus toilet paper), mostly empty, and the gas station across the street has gas for $2.29/gallon right now if you need to fuel up.
I decided to use a rhino photo today because today's Zoo email reminded me that two rhinos have been born in the past few weeks as well as an endangered retiulated giraffe. Gotta find the good news where you can. Can't wait to see some baby photos.
Some links today after the jump.

• You should definitely NOT take this headline at face value, but this is an important read. It's mostly an economic view of the pandemic and social-distancing, but doesn't take into account the 'cost' of human lives. It actually suggests to properly eradicate the disease, we should've done more. "The researchers blamed this failure on the focus on flattening the curve, which depended heavily on public cooperation on social distancing. The policy resulted in a major disruption to economic activity and social life but was not effective in isolating infected people from the rest of the population. To some extent, it was worse than doing nothing, they said."

• This is an interesting look at radio in the time of this pandemic. I mean, besides the fact that most of us are staying home...and who has a radio at home anymore? But I will say that Pyles has been doing it right, with the interactive livestream on Facebook on Sunday nights during his radio show so fans and friends can connect. It's become a must-do Sunday night event for me and many others.
