1. As mentioned in yesterday’s “Pill,”
MSU has designated
one of the campus dorms as an emergency residence for any students who test
positive for Covid, which, I’m sure, would be a traumatic situation for the
affected students and their families.
*** I
certainly know how my parents would have reacted:
“Mom, Dad,
everything will be OK but I just want you to know that they’re moving me to the
Covid dorm.”
“Oh no, that’s
terrible!” “Yes, that’s been our
greatest fear!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll
be fine. It’s only until I’m no longer contagious and can’t spread the virus.”
“Oh. Thank
goodness that’s all it is. We thought you said ‘Co-ed dorm.’ ”
(The only unknown: How long after hanging up the phone they
would suddenly realize that co-eds can get Covid, too.)
2. To prevent the spread of
Covid-19 in the dorms, Michigan State University has announced that any student
testing positive for the virus will be immediately re-assigned to a specially
designated residence.
*** Ann Arbor.
3. To help reduce the spread of
coronavirus, some health officials have suggested not singing or chanting in
church. *** They also ask that we
avoid words that start with “explosive” sounds like “P” and “T,” especially in
sentences that have an exclamation point at the end.
4. Michael Cohen is suing
Attorney General William Barr, claiming that his return to prison was to
prevent him from working on his “tell-all” book about President Trump and was a
clear case of “retaliation.” ***
Or rather, “no-tell-iation.”
5. Tony Shalhoub recently
produced a short video in which his TV character, Adrian Monk (the germophobic,
fastidious, obsessive-compulsive detective), tries to deal with the threat of Covid
infection. *** There had been talk of a full length movie
version of “Monk.” I believe the title would be “The Man in the Ironed Mask.”
