9. When the 'rona got Dawn Wells...

I kept thinking of the old story about the mathematician and the bombing raids during the Second World War.

It goes, everyone asked him why he wasn't going to the shelters at night like they all were. He replied the elephant in the zoo was much larger than he was and it was okay. So, he thought it was probably safe for him to stay outside of the shelters.

A few nights later someone saw him down in the shelter and asked him why he'd changed his mind. He replied that the bombs had gotten the elephant.

Roberts was my elephant.

I was going to go into full isolation and MOPP Level IIII this morning.

Now, I guess I'm still okay to continue with the hand washing, distancing, isolation, no face touching, and the damn mask. For now.

Until the next elephant.

:whew:
