Corona Virus # 3

[California]

Just got back from the dollar store, Dollar Tree. Plenty of TP, in contrast to local Costco. No sanitizer but plenty of $1 dispenser bottles for DIY blends.

I didn't think to look for alcohol, but I didn't see any empty shelves anywhere.

For anyone who cant find essentials in your customary supermarket, broaden your search. Around here there are big Mexican and VN supermarkets. I would have gone there next if I hadn't found what I was looking for at the first place I stopped. YMMV ...

While connectivity is not a new idea, you have to have the course material on-line before anyone can even attempt to access them. That's the bottleneck, not the technology to do it.

Course material is one thing, the other one is testing. How do you make it so that people can take tests without letting them cheat?

Actually I was not really referring to the WWW per se...it has just given a GUI to the material...I was mostly referring to the downloadable data (99% text) which needs little if any formatting or encoding...
Like I said there is a big difference between being able to watch a lecture (in hi def) by an instructor compared to reading a printed transcript...

In some ways correspondence courses are to today's Internet classrooms like catalog sales in the retail industry...

Let's see, they can bet on when each state will get its first confirmed case, what the mortality rate will be and perhaps when it will wrap up.

Tom will make a spear and eat raw fish (Castaway) so I'm not worried about him!!!!

Something that always bothered me about that film...IIRC...one scene showed him eating raw fish while sitting beside a fire...did I miss something?

one caveat...I'm not a T.H. fan...ever since he tried to come across as a southern man in the gump flick...

I don't worship him because he's an Actor. Court Jester. But I thought he nailed Castaway and Forrest Gump. Can't think of anyone that could have performed those two any better.

You need to let go of the logistical details. It's just a movie (I do that too).

He sure sounded like a southerner...
