I just heard that my brother in law who is an orthopedic surgeon in the New England area has to call all his patients tomorrow morning to cancel all their surgeries because the hospital where he works is going to temporarily close. It has me thinking that I should cancel my MRI I have scheduled for Monday. This doesn't make sense, how can a hospital close?

He also sent a message that I should in no way go to the grocery store or anywhere since I am at a higher risk since I have Crohns.

That’s crazy I’ve never heard of a hospital closing either.

By “temporarily close”, it might mean that they are converting lots of rooms into ICU beds, or at least negative-pressure rooms. Just a wild guess though.

If and when the hospitals get bad, his elective surgeries (joint replacements etc) will probably be postponed, as the respirators in the ORs could be needed for medical beds, leaving the ORs only for emergency surgery. This is happening in Italy.

I did a couple months ago - it's awesome. 30 bucks on Amazon!

The review that sold me

5.0 out of 5 stars This bidet will change the way you go to the bathroom.

Speaking as a hirsute gentleman, the Luxe Bidet Neo 120 has soured me on pooping in bidet-less toilets forever. It's shown me the difference between rubbing peanut butter out of shag carpeting with a paper towel, and that sparkling clean feeling you get right when you step out of the shower.

The unit took me all of about 10 minutes to install on my existing toilet with only a wrench. The easy-to-control flow valve allows you to provide just the right amount of water pressure for a full range of cleaning, from "gentle trickling stream" to "full-on 'Silkwood' decontamination", ensuring the end of your bowel movement leaves you feeling cleaner and more refreshed than using just toilet paper alone. Even flush-able wet wipes pale in comparison.

That's the one I got the wife for Christmas I think. Maybe I'll actually try the thing.

This makes a lot of sense. I’ll try to get more information.

Well, reading that review has certainly inspired a hearty appetite for breakfast this morning.
