Gray Day

Cool and cloudy, though with little wind.

A little project work. Sue did our first ever online grocery shop (from the nearby Festival store). It will go quickly next time. I got in an 8.5 mile bike ride (35 minutes)(headwind and up hill both ways), and a few shorter dog walks.

I’ve changed my mind about Bill Gates. I used to think he stole CP/M and turned it into MS-Dos, and eventually, Windows, all of which were horrible, and got horribly rich in the process. Now, he’s my hero. The health work of his foundation, and his current involvement in solving the Corona crisis, puts him up there with Louis Pasteur and Jonas Salk, IMHO.
In a recent Op-ed he reiterated the four things that need to be done to reopen and get back to buisness:

1) Testing—wide-spread; including self testing/home testing, and a national testing plan,
2) Contact tracing, including human tracers and digital tracing tools,
3) Effective treatment (therapeutic) drug or drugs,
4) A vaccine.

If we only had a government capable of doing these things!
