John LS and I were talking and we propose we abandon that coronovirus thread because it focuses too much on BS and bad sh&(t
So we are asking for people to only post positive stories, thoughts, ideas etc here that come from this situation we find ourselves in.
First off, some news. Scientists in Canada made breakthroughs in an effort to develop a vaccine. They have isolated and grown copies of the coronavirus, which helps scientists study the pathogen to develop better testing, treatments, vaccines, and gain a better understanding of its biology. This adds to scientists' work around the world. Rest assured the best minds in the world are working on it
Second, all around the world, people are meeting "apart" to sing and stay in touch from balconies, porches, windows...

Living the "All in it together" lifestyle is likely trying patience. Here's a small guideline How-To.
If you sleep on it, make it up. If you wear it, hang it up. If you drop it, pick it up. If you eat out of it, put it in the sink. If you step on it, wipe it off. If you open it, close it. If you empty it, fill it back up. If it rings, answer it. If it howls, feed it. If it cries, love it.
And my friend suggests singing it instead of screaming it like SOME PEOPLE, and throwing in "Dammit!" ever so often! LOL
There will always be another song to be written. Someone will write it. Why not you? www.garyeandrews.com

If a song said, I love qurantines...would that be something that belongs in a positive thread? Loved the stones... Not the right song imho Now THIS is positive, one of my favorite rock/pop songs of all time https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=60D5Jrq1ip8

I saw a tiny dog chasing a park duck from one side of a newly made soccer field to another, lightning fast dog. The positive? The duck stood there until the dog got close and flew away. More positive news? The dog ran back to his owner and got a treat!!!!

Sopranos is my favorite all time show, and of course, I love southside, legend in New Jersey, greatest bar band in the world
Btw? My uncle's house was used for a scene in sopranos, the scene where Tony was running away from feds.

A lot of artists have covered better thinngs. Hard to find a more uplifting song, it still picks me up since I first heard it in early 80's, I was just learning guitar I guess 13 or 14 New Jerseys own Fountains of Wayne did a spry version too. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-n0Fc_Ik7iw

My beloved had been on my case for years to watch The Sopranos and due to running out of odd jobs I bunkered down in the bedroom and binged on it, it was great, the scene in the snow in the woods had me in stitches, but what really kicked ass was getting back into Miami Steve,I love his early guitar work with the e street band,so started fishing around on you tube and found some songs where he plays/sings with Southside Johnny, I saw Southside Johnny and the Asbury Dukes way back in Edinburgh.those memories were all rekindled, yep silver linings, all the best.john John, I saw Southside Johnny and the Asbury Dukes in Edinburgh too. Maybe we were in the same audience

Remember this name Dr Tom Cahill Best news I have seen ...leads a group of scientists and billionaires who are screening scientific papers and backing the best approaches Goal is a vaccine in 6 months....and stipulation is no one makes money off it. The latter does not excite me as much as the gathering of minds and money Seems they are behind some of the recommendations being adopted now... https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-se...ing-trump-on-a-covid-19-plan-11587998993

The whole short time period shows us how fast they can find treatments and cures for disease, IF they want to.
I think they found effective treatments for H.I.V. Faster than anyone thought. Magic Johnson getting it accelerated the research.
With enough will, money and dedication we could probably cure anything fast.

"Whether your next song is #1 on Billboard, or a critical failure by all measurable standards, go look in the mirror. You are the exact same person you were the day before your received the news. Never forget that." -Brian Austin Whitney
