In a perverse sort of way, the news that coronavirus is disproportionately attacking black folks is good news for me! You see, up until now, every single risk factor, and I mean EVERY single risk factor, that has crossed the news outlets indicate that I am at the tip end of the highest risk of dying from it. Now this news comes in, I ran and looked in a mirror to be sure, and discover that I am not black! This means there IS a chance, however slight, that I may survive after all!
Thank you, black folks, for distracting the coronavirus away from me!

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
