[ExI] good news for a monday morning

[William Flynn Wallace]

Catastrophe?   I can imagine that quite a few of the nursing home people
were glad to have a way off the planet.  A silver lining for the

last 20 years.  She kept wondering why she couldn't die.  She would have
welcomed a virus like this one.  bill w
