Official live update of spread of COVID19

I don't think you should whistle now. I am a whistler and used to whistle all the time but I've given up the practice along with spitting, although I lose myself sometimes and spit. Although of the evils of the world I think whistling while masked is pretty low on the list!

I seldom hear people whistle a tune.  My dad used to whistle a lot so I guess that's why I notice it.  When I saw the man had a mask on, my thought was that he was making the best of an uncomfortable situation.

Or maybe, like me, he is panicked in the mask and whistling helps him deal with it.  If I could whistle, I might give it a try to help control my breathing.

Nope. Anti-Trump and pro-safety are EXACTLY the same thing (at least in relation to the pandemic).

It should not be a political issue, but it is, that is what I meant by that.

The medical experts are not making it political, Trump is.

You were wrong. Embrace it, learn from it, and move on.

If I could whistle like this 






I’d eventually be murdered, because I’d NEVER STOP WHISTLING!

 Self Entitlement, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @brianrrs37 on twitter)
 
Nader went after
The auto industry
Long ago
In the 1970s
 
They all threw fits
Making the bullshit argument
That to improve safety
Would cost too much money
 
Big tobacco 
Used cartoon camels
Images of cowboys
To sell their products
 
Humans have been warned
For over a century
Burning fossil fuels
Will cause long term missery
 
And once again
On Memorial Day Weekend
Pool parties and packed beaches
Lead to our distruction
 
"Rights" and "Freedom"
Are not a free for all
Doesn't constitute anarchy
To do whatever you want
 
Nobody would go
To have surgury
From a person
With no degree
 
Nobody sane
Would get on a jet
If the pilot
Had no experience
 
It is responsible
To listen to science
To fasten your seatbelt
During turbulance
 
If you don't wear a mask
You are an ass
If you ignore distance
More end up in caskets
 
It isn't about party
It isn't about state
It is about safety
To keep everyone safe
 
You can get fined
If you you get pulled over
Your baby not in a car seat
You deserve it
 
You can drive
You can drink
But you can't mix the two
Stop and think
 
You have no right
To assault a cashier
If they insist 
Of a mask you wear
 
Keep your distance
Stay at home
Go out only when you have to
Helps everyone.

Jellyfish Bandito, By BrianSoddingBoru4 (AKA Boru to most people and not on twitter or facebook)

My potato is 
Falling off
And I never even
Got to peel it.

I should have
Stood still.
Or put up
A fence.

But I never
Planned for
'Whoops!
'There it goes!'

Oh, well.
I still have
My turnip.
All will be well.

So why is it now
Poetry time, I guess I'll
Never understand

So why is it now
Poetry time, I guess I'll
Never understand

Because it is related to the topic.

If I start a new thread I fear someone might tell me I don't need to start a new thread.

It is about not enough people taking this virus seriously.

My poem was about the plight of the Antarctic pepperoni herds and how they’ve been shamelessly exploited by international judo consortiums.
