Holy shit what an excellent surprise. Unsurprised by the eclectic and great song selection, as usual!

Thank you! It was nice to make this. Felt like I was hanging out with old friends. I’m not sure if you caught it, but all of the music was from musicians that have died from COVID-19. It was sad to put together.

Yeah, I saw that. Was choosing to frame it a more positive light :)

Thank you! Positivity is appreciated always, but especially these days. I’ve been saying, “stay positive but don’t test positive.”

I’ve been in a funk since making this podcast. I’m very concerned about the state of the world. I’m not sure this will get any better before it gets much worse. Currently, I’m afraid that you can get covid-19 more than one time. Meaning that antibodies won’t protect you from re contracting it. mk is this a valid fear?

Also, I started out thanking you for being positive and then went all Debbie downer on you. Sorry B_E.

Onward!

I really don’t know. My current covid19 fear is that getting it and getting better doesn’t mean that you are done with it. This virus manifests in some strange ways with great variability. My worry is that years from now, we are going to find that there are long term risks associated with infection.

If you haven’t read this... consider reading.

It has “possible long term effects” all over it. So many systems to be affected. So many possibilities, and none of them good.
