#1 Agree. The 11th Imam invited it to Qom. Splendid! It will save the Donald quite a few bombs and missiles.

#3 Kind of, yes. They officially let us leave the community every third day, for shopping and stuff. Work has not restarted on campus yet, but we did start teaching online so as not to get behind. DingTalk (an Alibaba company) bought around 20,000 new web servers two weeks ago to bear the load. It is working okay.

#5 In other news, Kuwait now reports four coronavirus infections. I wonder if there is a connection to them flying 700 people from Iran to Kuwait and these new infections. Who'da thunk it.

#6 Nah, bear is good. Think of ball bearings 'bearing' the load.

#8 ...And if this thing gets loose in the hajj, look out - all else being equal, the death rate in Muslim nations will be horrifying. Then we're going to face nations like Iran and Pakistan disintegrating as local imams and military strongmen decide they're the rightful heirs to the power and the weapons.

Think it's about right to order a pallet or two of 'Interesting Times' brand popcorn..

#9 Mike, having a flagpole for a family tree protects you from plagues.
