Coronavirus: COVID-19

My deepest condolences to you in your time of grief, Stephen. I know what it's like to lose close friends and family members but the death of a spouse seems like a level of grieving beyond my comprehension. May you find inner strength and support from family and friends to help you in your time of need.

Probably should add original or movie to that. Thought it might have been SMG. It ain't.

Yeah it's not a case of interpretation. The movie was a minor footnote, the series something of a phenomenon. Mention BTVS to almost anyone and they're going to think you mean the series. Not a big deal; I'm just saying the immediate perception almost anyone would have is that you were talking about someone from the series. Luckily, no, and from the looks of it, another one who deserved to get it anyway.

I saw the movie first, bitch.

In their inter-personal experiences, I wonder if anyone else is noticing that covid is becoming the new C-word ?
Of course, "cancer" is the original C-word; sometimes called "the big C" (in London at least), it is a word you don't use around sick people until (i) you have to or (ii) with relief, you can declare, "Thank God, it's not cancer!"

I noticed how people are now treating the word "covid" the same way. A friend of mine felt ill recently - temperature, stomach pains, headache. More than in the past, we were attentive to his symptoms: lots of "Hope you feel better tomorrow" with no mention of what was looming in everyone's mind: covid. Luckily, in a couple of days he was ok again and we were free of our self-censorship, "Haha! I was worried for a minute, I thought it might be covid." I guess this is the new normal: a new unspoken dread with everybody who gets a cold.
