Three new cases, all imports. Eighteen total cases, with fifteen in the hospital. Three chilling out in a hospital. There's plague ships and plague planes and aaaaaauuugghh...

My story yesterday hurt one of my readers and that's never a good feeling. My bad for not being able to imagine a hero in the setting. So today's not off to a fantastic start for this nerd. I can't rewrite the story. It's a terrible road marker on my learning to be a better person.

I hate it, for the record. I hate hurting others' feelings. Even though I know, as a writer, I can't make everyone happy. I gotta be used to the idea that my best intentions aren't worth a hill of beans, and this author is dead the second I hit publish.

Eeeeehhhh... still not a nice place to live in, this morning.

In the news:

• ScoMo catches crap for his decisions regarding getting Aussies home from plague hotspots
• More about the horrors happening in India
• They're plotting to raid Ivanka now that they're done raiding Rudy Giuliani
• The kid who was hurt by a Sea World toy has died
• Travel bans could backfire
• German cops bust a porn ring with 400K members
• New Zealand refuses to be bullied by China
• Divers find a fossil? It's a mammoth bone
• Muppet permabanned from Facebook and Twitter

And now I go post stories on Patreon.

Two new cases, and the total's stable at eleven. Nothing local, so I'm trying hard to not panic. Not easy. For instance:

1. I started today at 3AM with a very mild but still detectable cyclone headache
2. And a good solid dose of the Death Cough(tm) [I'm not dying, I promise. It's just a scary impersonation thereof]
3. Remembered to bathe at least
4. Coffee not working, please consult manual

I get the feeling I'm going to CRASH sometime in the afternoon. If not
