The coronavirus has no vaccine and no cure for old, sick people who are prone to get it and die from it.<\/p>\n

Most people recover.<\/p>\n

Meantime, give up shaking hands.<\/p>\n

+ Get cool, fist bump.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

+ Wash your hands regularly.<\/p>\n

+ Don’t touch your face with your hands.<\/p>\n

Enjoy life.<\/p>\n

Even if it means staying up all night and watching the incredible tennis from Melbourne,\u00a0 Australia — ESPN2 and The Tennis Channel.<\/p>\n

Stop kvetching to me about your fears<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Sell some of your gains and go somewhere.<\/p>\n

Getting push-back on silica<\/strong><\/p>\n

My engineer subscriber says silica — silicon dioxide — is fine if you drink it, but not inhale it. Hence Fuji Water<\/strong> is fine.<\/p>\n

My philosophy is simple: Why expose my tired old body to chemicals, if I don\u2019t have to?<\/p>\n

I have in my hand a bottle of\u00a0Smart Water <\/strong>— that’s what it’s called.<\/p>\n

Ingredients include magnesium chloride and potassium bicarbonate.\u00a0 I figure I need these like a hole in the head.<\/p>\n

In my other hand, I have a bottle of Poland Sprin<\/strong>g natural spring water. It doesn\u2019t contain silica, or any of the Smart Water stuff I can’t spell or pronounce.<\/p>\n

I went online and checked the Water Analysis report for Poland Spring — <\/strong>https:\/\/www.nestle-watersna.com\/sites\/g\/files\/pydnoa606\/files\/asset-library\/documents\/ps_eng.pdf<\/a> — It doesn\u2019t seem to contain much of anything, except water.<\/p>\n

I like water.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Implants?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I said I was ultra-happy with my many implants.<\/p>\n

Just to be sure, you got the idea… I was referring to my teeth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some of my readers had other ideas.<\/p>\n

Don’t do stupid, again<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This actually exists:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Guess what’s missing? A hand rail?<\/p>\n

Guess where the falls are happening?<\/p>\n

I got bombarded over the weekend with stories of old people falling on the last and second last stair.<\/p>\n

Guess why? They didn’t hold the hand rail — if it even existed.<\/p>\n

If you don’t have hand rails at home, install them now — before you end up in hospital with a busted pelvis.<\/p>\n

Greatest ever sign in a doctor’s office\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Buy this book which is set in Melbourne where the tennis is being played.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s the funniest, tear-jerker ever.<\/p>\n

When you do something stupid, play this song<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Or when something untoward happens to you.<\/p>\n

The song is called Shake if Off. Play it full screen and at full volume. The words are fun.<\/p>\n
