Catchy song, I like the hairdo of the singer.

Haircuts... what is the coronavirus not going to affect..

Found the ODH original:



The comments are funny. One noted "I bet this anti-virus video goes viral."

Not sure if this one has been posted yet:



Ohioans who keep track of the daily updates will get a kick out of it.

Found the ODH original:

Is that a play on Laverne & Shirley's opening song and credits? Right on, whatever keeps the message in the public's minds I suppose. Effective marketing team at Ohio Department of Health (I presume)

George Carlin and germs. Thats all i have to say.

I was watching the one Geogre Carlin - Germs, Immunne system. He likes his dirty words, but he has his points. I think he's being facetious when he says he swam in sewage in the hudson river, and then he and the whole neighbourhood were immune from polio. Sounds like he swims in urban legends but he really is legendary

I'm just waiting for Dave Chapelle's rant on corona virus..

"Over millennia, polio survived quietly as an endemic pathogen until the 1900s when major epidemics began to occur in Europe. Soon after, widespread epidemics appeared in the United States. By 1910, frequent epidemics became regular events throughout the developed world primarily in cities during the summer months. At its peak in the 1940s and 1950s, polio would paralyze or kill over half a million people worldwide every year."

For those who lived through those times, jumping in the polluted Hudson River may not have looked that bad back then.

Let's hope/pray for a vaccine soon!

I don’t know anyone personally that has it. We had a few rough colds in February and December here.
Dspace, look into koodo. They’re owned by telus. No contract, can change your plan once a month without any penalties. I pay $50/ month for unlimited text, calling and 5gb of data. Prices probably vary across the country but might be worth looking into.

We get hosed in North America for data. Look at Australia’s data plans

The wife has unlimited data but pays out the a$$, is stuck in a 2-3 year contract too. I never use more than a few gb a month.

Thanks for the tip, Fummins. I will look into Koodo when things are normal again. I won't be calling Telus right now. For that stuff I go into the store, and then get myself a free phone thrown into the plan. That's my main thing with staying with Telus is that for 10 years they include the phone.

Mark: I don't mean any disrespect to the tragedy that was wrought by polio, TB outbreaks, then earlier the plague, and other scary stuff. Even with the invention of modern medicine we are basically at the mercy of viruses. They have been around a lot longer than we have.
