My money was on a plague of frogs occurring next. Oh, well.

Don't worry.  Fauci, Gates,  and dozens of Harvard professors already have Chinese researchers working on the vaccine. 
Nothing can go wrong laugh

ah fuck, i just spent all day yesterday slaving over a pot of tick soup

There is a County Park with a Pond,  and once I took Hüsky there.
