We had rain yesterday for the first time since before covid. I couldn't help wondering if that pour down would wash away a lot of that nasty germ. I know that there are many that see rain a lot. But here we have extreme heat more than anyone so the affects that rain may make would be different. It feels cleaner here so I will be watching the stats to see if that needle moves down.
BTW, I forget who is going to put a remake of "The Stand" on TV soon. I will try to find out who so you can watch it. I have always related the Stand to the covid. Stephen kings genius book and movie.

Stephen King's 'The Stand' Remake for TV Gets a Release Date

Dec 17th CBS With Whoopee in it in my mind it is already ruined. Loved the book and the original miniseries wasn't bad but in no way came close to the book. Any bets this version isn't more political than religious in nature?
Yes, the book was the best. Because your imagination went nuts while reading it. I still think of the running noses. WOW!
What part is Whoppi playing? Not that I remember who played what and the parts. Its been so long. Did you get the impression it will be a mini series?
I hope not, I am tired of politics, lol.
I didn't catch if SK is a part of this one, I hope so.

Exactly !! She plays the old lady by the corn field. But she ain't no saint which gives me the idea this will be a right/left movie. Yes a mini series but to be politically correct these days it is called a limited event series so as to not offend someone no doubt

Do you know who is playing the lead man role? I increased the vote count if you are interested. Because just one vote didn't work.

That isn't how viruses work. They are microscopic particles which most commonly spread from person to person via respiration, especially strong exhalation including coughing, singing, shouting, sneezing, and sighing.

The best way to prevent the spread of these particles is to wear a mask. Masks are not perfect and not all masks offer the same level of protection, but something is better than nothing. Frequent hand washing, mask wearing, social distancing, and a genuine desire to care for the health of your fellow person is the best remedy for dealing with a pandemic.
