News that there's a new inbound comet that's brightening a lot faster than expected: https://phys.org/news/2020-03-comet-atlas.html
On a completely unrelated note, a few articles linking comets to outbreaks of plague and as harbingers of doom:

Senators attending meetings after testing for the Virus, Trumps plan to abandon Social Distancing...
And now this: https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-woman-husband-died-chloroquine-warns-not-to-trust-trump-2020-3
So. To say that the Virus is Natural Selection is a bit harsh, but peoples reactions to it form an even better example of Natural Selection. How could we make this even better? Well, give all of Trumps supporters the medicine he prescribes. Chloroquine Phosphate. Make sure to wear your best sneakers, and Kool-Aid helps with the taste. Apparently aquarium grade is good enough, and a lot cheaper, so buy it at your local pet store.
I mean, clearly he's not wrong, take enough and you won't get the Virus. And it'll cure all the stupid in you too...

..., and, I hope, if nothing else comes out of this, that we identify the bad actors and take steps when this is all said and done to remove or isolate them. By that I mean the people who purposely don't self isolate, I mean the companies - like the Calgary Flames, that announce they won't pay their front line staff for the duration of the Crisis (their backpedaling later a reaction to public outrage - the cost of their entire front line - vendors, etc - has to be less than the cost of the contract they signed the greenest rookie with!!), the same with the owners of the Boston Bruins, Jeff Bezos, who after slashing benefits for employees then had the audacity to suggest employees pool their sick leave to pay employees who actually needed it, the meat-loving couple of the Okanagan, every single fucking Mother Fucker who overstocked on Toilet Paper, baked beans, etc. There are enough pictures floating around, we know who they are, we can find them. Let go of the Flames, give the same time to volunteering that you would to a hockey team that's done nothing but disappoint you, both you and your community will be richer. Fuck Bezos and your whacked neighbors, they planned to survive this alone, let them live the rest of their lives in isolation. We owe them nothing. Boycott McDonalds - like - dah, a million years too late, who refused sick pay to their employees while subjecting them to unsafe levels of public contact. Airlines and Banks who needed a bailout. Every fucking landlord that needed his rent right-now or you get evicted in the midst of a pandemic. Everyone one of these fuckers, and there's by now too many to list, but compile the list when it's all said and done and isolate, boycott, and shut them down.
...And Lol, The Trump/Pence will sound...

Lol. Some good memes on the end of days, specifically on a phonetic re-reading of the Book of Revelations, which should scare the fuck out of every Christian out there since they have elected them into being!

Meanwhile, a couple of graphs/images grabbed from the net that illustrate how Alberta's early action is throttling the virus:
Note that on the 15th Alberta closed schools, many employers, etc. Social Distancing works. Our curve is flattening. BC began taking action days later, Ontario almost a week. This may well be the only Alberta Advantage at the moment, but it's a good one, our "curve" is starting to flatten.
