Fun in Semi-Quarantine

It is now starting to look as though the epidemic may not be as bad as people had feared. That is certainly good news and brings with it the hope  for a return to normal sooner than expected. In the meantime, the semi-quarantines go on. 

Humor helps in this situation, and there have been some really good funnies of various sorts about the epidemic.  Powerline, the Babylon Bee, and other sites have done a good job.   Of course they have had good material.  With our politicians and assorted media buffoons  on the case, there has been plenty to work with. (A story about a reporter for the Times who was working from home, slapping a game board out of his kid’s hands for calling it Chinese checkers, screaming at his wife for saying she was ordering Mexican food for dinner when the scientific name is tacos, and being exiled to sleep on the ottoman in the living room, which he explained  properly should be called a small,  low couch was one of my favorites. I’m guessing that was just satire, but you can’t be sure about things like that.)
