Culture: Celebrities and corona virus, some knew, some didn't. Stephen King disappoints.

Daily Miscellany

Thoughts and flashes of brilliance that enter my head from nowhere.

Enjoy.  Or abhor, depending on the effect of my "wisdom".

Chewy.com is fine to order pet food.  You can't order liquor delivered in the state of Delaware, besides beer.  Pea Pod will allow ordering groceries but they are filled up for the next two weeks.

Still, having stuff delivered is somewhat novel to me.


Stephen King panned for claiming coronavirus task force is 'all male ... all white'

Stephen King used to be someone I greatly admired.  As a young woman I read his books and loved them.  By me, "The Stand" was one of the best books ever written.  

King is a little long-winded but he had writing talent and I envied and admired him.

But of late he's turned into an idiot liberal, yon liberals so reading please forgive.

Author Stephen King tried dunking on President Trump during his address at the White House on Friday, but it quickly backfired when his claim about the coronavirus response team was proven wrong.

"Note that Trump’s coronavirus team is all male, all old, and all white," King tweeted during Trump's press conference. The president was in the middle of discussing the pandemic and his declaration of a national emergency.

Behind him stood several members of his coronavirus task force, including Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Administrator Seema Verma, who is neither male nor white.

Just minutes after King's tweet, Dr. Deborah Birx took the podium. Birx, a world-renowned medical expert, was named the White House's coronavirus response coordinator.

She has worked extensively in the global fight against HIV/AIDS -- both as the State Department's U.S. global AIDS coordinator and as the U.S. special representative for global health diplomacy.

And he had it all wrong anyway.

Source: Police found Andrew Gillum completely undressed in hotel room with self-described 'porn star' 

I had no idea who Andrew Gillum was when this story first hit. I have since learned that Gillum was a big time politico in Florida, running for Governor in 2018.  Before that he was Mayor of Tallahasee.

Now we learn that Gillum is...well let's just say he prefers the opposite sex.

And he got caught recently in a hotel room with lots of drugs and a man who evidently overdosed on those same drugs.

Gillum came quite close to being Governor of Florida as I am to understand.

A source with direct knowledge of the Miami Beach Police Department's response to the scene told TheBlaze that first responders said they allegedly found Gillum in a state of complete undress and Dyson wearing "chaps,"....

which Dictionary.com defines as "a kinky or provocative article of clothing, which leave the butt and sometimes crotch exposed," when they arrived at the Mondrian South Beach Hotel room.

Frozen 2 actress tests positive for coronavirus, shares timeline of symptoms


Even the famous are catching the coronavirus.

Now we have cartoon characters having same.

The actress said the first day she exhibited symptoms began with a "sore throat, fatigue and headache," which progressed to a "mild fever" of 100.3 on day two. Her fever was accompanied by "horrible body aches, shortness of breath, major fatigue" and "no appetite" as well as a "deep, dry cough." On day three, Matthews said she had no fever and "minor" aches while her lungs got "much worse". She continued to have shortness of breath, fatigue and no appetite as well. Matthews' lungs continued to remain heavy and she was short of breath on day four, despite her symptoms seemingly becoming "more mild," she wrote. She also lost her sense of smell and taste. Days five, six and seven consisted of "more or less the same" symptoms. "feeling more like myself, still experiencing shortness of breath, loss of appetite, fatigue and no taste/smell but overall, doing okay," the actress said of days five, six and seven. She also pointed out on Monday night that testing for coronavirus is "INSANELY hard to come by." The "Frozen 2" star said she only got tested after learning she had been around someone who also confirmed positive and showed symptoms.

Jared Leto Just Learned About the Coronavirus Pandemic After a 12-Day Desert Meditation Trip

I am not terribly familiar with who Jared Leto is but here he is having known nothing about the killer virus for the past ten days.

Jared Leto attends a November gala in Los Angeles. Thanks to blaring headlines and the 24-hour news cycle, avoiding news of the coronavirus is difficult.
That is, unless you’re silently meditating in the desert far from civilization. That is, unless you’re Jared Leto.

The actor was self-isolating, before it was recommended by governments and health experts. Leto had taken a break from the world and retreated to the desert for some quiet time only to emerge 12 days later to a wildly changed world facing the pandemic. He took to Instagram to express his feelings.

“Wow. Twelve days ago I began a silent meditation in the desert,” Leto wrote in his post, which was captioned with a red heart emoji. “We were totally isolated. No phone, no communication etc. We had no idea what was happening outside the facility.”
