No Idea how to Title This

What is this world coming to, where companies have to send out warnings not to inject bleach in your veins because the President of the United States mentioned that it might cure coronavirus?

Talked with Mom today about the pressure of having projects you now have time to do and not being able to make yourself do them. We came to a policy of trying one thing at a time, then moving to the next. And quite honestly, I have a feeling this is going to go on long enough that we'll have plenty of projects to get through. But yah, I'm doing pretty good, considering the world is collectively going through a massive trauma.
