Things are fine here in Mark's Fortress of Solitude where I'm amply-stocked with the necessities of life. I have enough to not worry I'll run out but not so much that I fall into the classification of Hoarder. A few neighbors and I are sharing our respective inventories and I passed out a few masks to folks who needed them.
I'm not paying a whole lot of attention to public debates about when the country should "reopen" but it strikes me that a lot of those advocating for doing it soon and hard are forgetting something. Governments can lift "shutdown" orders but they can't (or shouldn't) force businesses to reopen if their proprietors think the customers aren't there yet. Just because a movie theater is open doesn't mean moviegoers will come flocking in. A lot of us are going to be avoiding crowds for a while.
Tonight is that online conference I'm doing with special guest Marv Wolfman. I have a lot of e-mails asking if I'll record it and put it online. Yes to the first part. I haven't decided on the second yet. I'm going to wait and see just how big a fool I make of myself. My plan now is to do more of these over an array of topics but I may experiment with some other platforms that will make the shows available to all, at least for their live webcast. Zoom is great for conferencing and I'm using it well for business-type meetings but I think I need something else.
