My dear Friend & President, DJT,

            Did you say “rabbit, rabbit” this morning? That used to be a thing when I was in high school. On the first day of the month if you recited “rabbit” twice, you’d have good luck. Apparently, FDR used to do it. Who knows where that came from, but I hope we both have good luck this month.

            Did you know that yesterday was the day that folks in Korea celebrate Buddha’s birthday? They would usually have parades and lantern celebrations, but I’m not sure that happened. They haven’t closed down their economy but I think they’re big on social distancing.

Have you been in touch with your buddy MJI to get some tips on containing CV? They’ve done an amazing job of it!

Have you, two, spoken about the disappearance of KJU? I understand that you know all about it but aren’t talking. Did he get CV? KJU’s heavy smoking would put him at risk for a severe case. I guess that missing his grandpa’s 108th birthday raised some eyebrows. According to the Korean Herald, a NK defector says he’s 99% sure that KJU is dead. Do you think his sister will take over? That would be interesting!

            I was excited to learn about SPHERES this morning. I’m sure you’ve heard about the effort to track the tiny mutations of CV so we can have a better idea of how it’s spreading. Isn’t modern science amazing? We’ve got the technology to monitor the 29,903 nucleotides in the RNA of CV so we can see when one is different.  I think you should give young Dr. Pavitra Roychoudhury a call so she can tell you all about it. She’s putting math to work for the common good. I love it!

            I got spooked seeing a photo of armed skinheads in the Capitol Building in Lansing. If they insist on congregating in public, please encourage them to leave their guns at home.

            HYITL,
