Just because I don't like sports doesn't mean other people shouldn't be allowed to see them, but I wish they kept them on their own channel. Actually they could have as many sports channels as they want, but they shouldn't be allowed to pre-empt the scheduled shows on the regular channels. "Young Sheldon", which is about the only show we watch anymore other than news and weather, was supposed to be pre-empted by basketball tonight, but the basketball was cancelled and we got to see two "Young Sheldons" back to back. They were both re-runs from earlier this season, but we had only seen them once before and were happy to see them again.
They interviewed that guy from Otsego county by Skype on the news this evening. He had been doing some missionary work in Africa, but he doesn't think he caught it there. He thinks that he picked it up on the flight home, somewhere between Germany and Chicago. His symptoms were mild, and they sent him home to self quarantine. He is already feeling better and expects to be given a clean bill of health in the next day or two. His family members who live with him are not quarantined, but he is supposed to avoid contact with them, so he has been mostly staying in his "man cave" in the basement.
Michigan reported 110 confirmed cases yesterday, but the number tripled in the last 24 hours. So far only one death from the virus has been reported. All of the cases are in the southern half of the Lower Peninsula except that guy in Otsego and one in Grand Traverse County, which is three or four counties away from Cheboygan. I seem to remember that one is female, but that's all I know about her.
