Fake News, Real News, What's the Difference?

You don't have to read the paper or turn on your TV to know what's going on in the world. It's the same as yesterday, except more people are dead. If you listen to the Democrats it's still all Trump's fault, as if he created the virus in his basement at Mar-a-Lago. The Republicans still say it's China's fault, although not all agree it was intentional.

Like a flock of birds that all take off at exactly the same moment, everyone with an audience is suddenly focusing on when we can "reopen" the economy. They each have their own plan that is identical to everyone else's plan. All of them end with the prediction that once people return to living in the world, the virus will come roaring back and kill more people. Now there's a plan I can't get behind!
So instead of reading or watching the news, I suggest just doing this:

Clean kitchen cupboards

Wash floors

Organize the garage

Pet the kitty, walk the dog, clean the birdcage

Wash the inside of your refrigerator
