Here is the entire covid quarantine diary in it's entirety, for posterity:
The End.

Covid Quaratine Diary - Day 7: Seven days in, and still no signs of the illness, despite the Health Department insisting it is lurking here in the shadows. I've loaded 3 400-round magazines for my Super Duper Kills Every Living Thing Within 40 Yards Just By Showing It AR-83 ™, and inspected every nook and cranny of the house, searching for the virus to destroy it, but still no sign. It is very well hidden.
Covid Quarantine Diary - Day 8: Friendly villagers have gathered with pitchforks and torches, and surrounded the perimeter of the estate. I have no doubts they will prevent the virus from escaping. What a nice bunch of people, to chip in and help like that!
Covid Quarantine Diary - Day 9: This virus is insidious and diabolical. How it managed to get through all the carefully-crafted countermeasures I will never understand. And it is subtle - so subtle, in fact, that we inmates can feel none of it's effects. Now THAT is insidious!
Covid Quarantine Diary, Day 10: Carnage on the estate. The rats are methodically eating the mice, because supplies have not been able to bypass the quarantine barricades. Suppliers (and smugglers, for that matter) should study the virus' bypass methods - I'm sure there is a lesson for them there. Some of the rats appear to have turned on the virus as well in their never ending quest for scraps of food. We do not know how much longer we can hold out. Those rats are starting to look mighty tasty, and we ARE at the top of the food chain here!
Covid Quarantine Diary - Day 11: One more day. The Health Department always gives you a Plus One day to safely extend the incarceration - such a nice bunch of people! we do not know what awaits in the outside world. so I'm loading up more 400-round magazines in case of Zombies.
Covid Quarantine Diary - post Quarantine: We have elected not to re-enter the outside world any more. It is clearly safer in here than it is out there, given all the news reports of widespread death and destruction attributed to the virus, and the fact that we never could detect it's effects in here, despite the insistence of the Health Department that it was waiting in the shadows, poised to spring to the attack at any instant. We are now being evaluated for "Post Pandemic Stress Disorder". Clearly we are now living in a bubble of safety and harmony, probably some kind of government induced top-secret force-field... and we will love Big Brother for the rest of our days...
Covid Quarantine Diary - post Quarantine post script: The bright orange "BIOHAZARD - QUARANTINE" signs finally arrived today, two days after the quarantine was lifted. I think the skull and crossbones on them really add something to the overall effect. Even though it is past quarantine, I think I'll put them up anyhow, to keep the riffraff out. I do wonder if Zombies can still read...
The End.

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.’
