I should make a list. A list of people who pick me for the blog and therefore deserve a death glare. I'd give them more, but I suppose I'm not exactly allowed to do more than give a death glare, so there's that. Likely nothing's going to happen in class on this fine Tuesday, since everyone has to stay silent for testing.
Taking a look at it, this keyboard might be the filthiest thing in this room. I can't even begin to imagine how many people have touched it since it was last cleaned. Ulyses did a fine job with the blog, and I would've let Elliot pick for me once I got picked by somebody who deserved to, but he can forget all hopes of that happening now.
Whatever, I'll finish up my test and come back in a few.
Cool, I'm done. It was surprisingly easy, especially considering how terrible I am at remembering anyone's name and dates of events. I swear I can already see the tidal wave of writers' block looming overhead. I suppose I'll just write about the book I'm reading.
Now, I won't spoil anything, but I'm currently reading The Toll, the third book in the Arc of a Scythe trilogy by Neal Shusterman, and I'll say, this one is easily the best of the three. I haven't finished it just yet, as it is over 600 pages, but so far, this book is amazing. Just a few days ago, it gave me one of those chills of excitement down my spine the way really great books can. Seriously, I highly recommend the series, especially if you're into sci-fi.
I really don't understand the issue people have with Coronavirus. If you ask me, it isn't the illness itself we must worry about, but rather how many people it'll put into our hospitals. More than half of all the ill have been cured of it, but especially in Italy, all hospitals are filled to the max with people suffering from the illness. Even if they will most likely all be cured, this now means for Italy that anyone with a newly broken bone or serious and urgent injury will not be able to go to a hospital for treatment, as patients all ill with COVID-19 will take up every single bed and room. Now take Italy's situation, and put it to scale on an absolutely massive country like the United States. If we have an outbreak, it will not be the death toll that will be terrifying, rather the lack of hospitality for the country to offer, especially in a city as densely populated as Los Angeles. It should not be just the epidemic you avoid, it should be all injury and illness, for soon, you will not be able to get help for any of it. So I'll remind you here and now, wash your hands, don't push your body farther than it allows you, and above all: stay safe around strangers, friends, and don't mess with the ill.
I'm not sure when the bell is ringing, but I'll end this blog on that note. I do kind of hope I'll get to do the blog again, but there's a slim chance I won't get to, so here's to hoping I'll be up here speaking again this semester. I'll see you around.
