This might be the year of Zwift and other indoor training apps.

Yep. Just started using Final Surge to run my workouts on my Garmin.
Problem is everytime I come across a new training app I think "I could write that..."

Priority #1 for day 2: Wash the blankets on the floor of the office that the dogs sleep on.  Whew!

Interesting. I never knew that CP would be of interest to people in the laundry business. You learn something new every day...

The virus comes from China and one of the first symptoms may be the urge to open a chinese laundry shop. Then you shrink by half a meter and develop an appetite for cats, dogs, bats...
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I hear that it affects your speech as well. You start to speak Pidgin Engrish...

And you are smiling constantly. Have we forgotten any stereotypes? Ahh, yes, of course you can't say 'Arrrrrr' anymore. It will sound more like 'Allllllll!'.

Thank you very much Gary, I appreciate that.
Luckily, it looks here in Roma we have relatively few infects.

How acceptable are Corona jokes?
Which joke is perfectly OK, and where do you cross the line?
What would be the equivalent of muttering "I worry about the bomb in my suitcase" aboard an airplane? - something that you just don't do?
Is is OK to answer all telephone calls with an initial couch?
Can you clear your throat on subway, making a muttered comment about "it is just in my chest"?
Can you cough and remind people around you not to get any closer than one meter, as recommended by health authorities?
Can you make a drawing of a religious person, usually depicted with a glorie around his head, but now that glorie has grown this bush-like mushrooms?
Can you joke about people in panic from corona spreading on the Internet?
Can you make generic jokes like "Good thing we will have less ...... when it is over! (Fill in your favorite population group)"?
Can you make non-generic, more specific jokes like that?
Can you draw Bob (that's his name, isn't it?) with a corona crown on his head? (today it is a hat with flowers)
Can you make parodies on statements made by political leaders?
Can you draw an old lady laying in a coffin with a corona crown on her head?
Is there any corona joke that would be really bad taste?

That one is always OK.

If you have to have it explained to you, then you probably should not attempt it.
This golden rule applies to more things in life than just humor.

So you say there is an absolute, undisputable, single answer. There is no graded scale.
Then there are only two alternatives: No joking whatsoever is acceptable. Or anything is acceptable. I suspect that you go for the first alternative.
I am not sure if the Norwegian term "galgenhumor" can be directly translated to English: "Gallows humour". It refers to the kind of jokes a delinquent makes before he is killed. Or in a more modern setting: Making jokes on in an extremely bleak situation, about that situation, to make people laugh at at to keep spirits up. A special kind of black humour, the one that is not just black, but refers to your own current situation. I dare to claim that this sort or humour has saved a few lives: When people can laugh at their own situation, they may gain the strength to survive it.
I accept that you think it is better to keep the situation as bleak as possible, smile at nothing, laugh at noting that is related to it. So you are free to ignore all such things. Consider my request to be directed at those who think humour can be an essential element in handling hardships. It is not evident how far the joking might go, and it certainly varies from one society to another, one setting to another. It is not at all obvious that a joke crossing the border line in one specific society in one specific setting could not cause a releaving laugh and give a mental push to people ina completely different setting in a completely different society.
