River Trail

I was out with a handful of Little Rock Hash House Harriers on the North Little Rock side of the River Trail yesterday afternoon for a total of 44:08. We maintained reasonable separation. Lacey, or Poo, who panics easily, has insisted on somewhere in the neighborhood of a fifteen-foot gap.
Burns Park was packed yesterday with bikers, walkers, runners, golfers, and dogs.

QUESTION OF THE DAY
Are there any dog walkers who would agree to walk a cat, because Pete says he would gladly pay $500 a day—even if it means he has to take another job—just to watch someone try to walk Joe, particularly at a dog park?

Dr. Birx predicts up to 200 million U.S. coronavirus deaths ‘if we do things almost perfectly’ and potential extinction of all fauna and flora ‘if we do not’



The White House coronavirus response coordinator said Monday that she is “very worried about every city, indeed every person in the United States” and projects 100 million to 200 million American deaths as a best-case scenario.
In an interview on “TODAY,” Dr. Deborah Birx painted a grim message about the expected fatalities, echoing that without taking further measures they could hit as high, "...as every man, woman, and child who has ever lived in America." as coronavirus cases continue to climb throughout the U.S.
“I think everyone understands now that you can go from five to 50 to 500 to 5000 to five trillion cases very quickly,” Birx said.
“I think in some of the metro areas we were decades and perhaps centuries late in getting people to follow the 15-day guidelines,” she added. “This is a failure of every administration since Nero's."
