I predict a baby boom in 9 months. And in the year 2033 the rise of the QUARANTEENS.

An Irishman walked into a bar in Dublin and ordered three pints of ale. He took a sip of the first and set it down, then a sip of the second, then a sip of the third, and proceeded to finish the three pints in this fashion. When he was done, he ordered three more pints.
The bartender said "Those pints would be a might fresher if you ordered 'em one at a time like everyone else."
"Well ya see," he replied "it's a way of bein' with me brothers. One lives in Australia and the other in the states, so we always order three drinks; it's our way of bein' together, don’t ya know."
"That's a fine idea!" said the bartender. He became a regular customer, always ordering three pints, and whenever someone bought a round they'd always give him three. One day he came in and ordered two pints. When he was finished the bartender poured him two more and said "These are on the house, with my condolences." "Thanks" he replied, "but why the condolences?"
"Well," said the bartender "since you only ordered two pints I assumed one of your brothers had passed on."
"No, me brothers are fine. It's just that I meself have givin up drinkin' fer Lent".

What's the difference between violins and fiddles?
Violins have stings. Fiddles have strangs.

Just a little tongue twister.
I'm not the fig plucker Nor the fig plucker's son But, I'll pluck figs Till the fig plucker comes

I need to go on a diet but I have too much on my plate at the moment.

Things are changing fast. Now even the local nudist beach is clothed.

For those that think one person cannot change the world, remember it only took a single person to eat an undercooked bat...
Speaking of cooked bats, I wonder what beer pairs best with roast bat? Answer: Corona!

You got some good bad jokes there, whistlepunk, but that one isn't just bad: it's appropriate for the times, but inappropriately incorrect (bats were all about ebola, dude!) and somewhat gross and misleading. Remember: bat => ebola; pig => h1n1; pangolin => SARS-CoV-2 Things are changing fast. Now even the local nudist beach is clothed. Unless you have a bad lithp, you must be talking about a Christo installation.

From the Land of Giants catalog. I bet it's roomy enough inside.

Remember: bat => ebola; pig => h1n1; pangolin => SARS-CoV-2 I've read that it was a bat virus that crossed to a pangolin and then to human.

I've read that it was a bat virus that crossed to a pangolin and then to human. You could be right. There's a lot of "noninformation/urban legend" running around out there, and there's no way to verify much of it. I read something recently (in the "mostly disputable and unreliable" press), and the story seems to be going the rounds on the internet, like most stuff does these days. (Why the hell do lies propagate more readily than stories that are true?) This story says that there are "zombie viruses and bacteria" which will be released as the poles "defrost", and will infect humans. Sounds really iffy to me. I found this article on NPR, which seems to debunk the idea, at least enough for me. NPR: "Are There Zombie Viruses In The Thawing Permafrost?"This article was written in 2018 - I strongly suspect that most of the "zombie virus" articles have been revived (see what I did there?) in honor of our latest infectious disease. YMMV, so-to-speak.

Seems like bats are quite the source for coronaviruses of all flavors. source
