Update from the house of Plague (Day 100 of Year 2)
100th post in Year 2 - I wish I could think of something clever, but I've not really been around online today to find stuff. (My computer is in the bedroom, which has obviously been occupied by The Patient.)
Speaking of The Patient, then Darcy sent his test off today so we won't get confirmation until... tomorrow I guess, but if it ain't covid he has caught a mystery illness with all the same symptoms.
I did a Lateral Flow Test, which was negative, so yay me? (For now. I need to send off for a PCR one also.)

Let me think... Do I have anything to say? We watched the Bo Burnham Special ('Inside') the other day, which was... clever, but uncomfortable. It's essentially a man documenting his mental breakdown [during lockdown] using comedy songs. I tried to find my favourite part, but it doesn't appear to be on youtube; instead I came across this video essay:
Bo Burnham and the Trap of Parasocial Self-Awareness | 'INSIDE' Movie Review (video essay)
I have only watched about 3 minutes, but the title itself is incredibly spot-on and from the comments it looks like it is worthwhile.

Daily Dimash: We Are One
Slight change of plan, figured today would be a good day for Dimash's 'covid-song'. It's a lovely ballad all about togetherness, originally posted on 20 April 2020. From the notes on youtube:
At this time of great suffering across the world, should the international community stand together or go it alone? We choose to believe in our Shared future and common destiny. To all frontline medics and those in isolation, this song is for you. We are one against Covid19，novel coronavirus. Stay together stay strong
CW: Footage of Donald Trump (it's only short, but it made me shudder. Mostly the video is 1st lockdown footage & medical and essential workers being brave. <3)
ETA: OMG there is a version with all the children from Dimash's Children's Singing Competition:
(More background on this here:Baqytty Bala.)
(Btw Dimash didn't just sing a pretty song. He does an awful lot of humanitarian work, and [from wiki]: 'During COVID-19 pandemic in Kazakhstan, Kudaibergen provided 102 needy families in Nur-Sultan and Aktobe with five tons of food.' <3 Although I don't believe he is happy that this news got out. He doesn't flaunt his charitable works, much preferring no one to know.)
