10/12 but only 398 because I fell asleep at the keyboard while 30 points slipped away.

10/12 for 466. As usual there was a football question: I really HATE when that happens.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

10/12 like most of you guys. (I wasn't paying attention to sportsball peoples *or* sick celebrities.)

As we all look for time killing diversions, I thought it would be a good time to bring back the Slate News Quiz:

Slate news quiz for April 3rd, 2020

11/12 for 516 N95 masks.

Nobody’s gonna beat that score. :P

(Yes, I’ve done nothing all week except watch videos and obsessively refresh a half dozen favorite news sites on my phone. I did miss the social media question because except for Facebook I’m out of that loop entirely. Thanks Jim for resuscitating the thread. Get to work, Gob.)

8 out of 12 for 361 ventilators that friends in New York have told me Gov. Cuomo doesn't really need

7/12 for 328 sorry friends of Trump contacted by Kushner who told him that NY hospitals were short of supplies. I am grateful for those friends because how would we have known otherwise? Obviously that's another few thousand lives saved by Trump.

With so much of the news being taken over by the corona virus, I missed a lot of these stories. I managed a pathetic 5/12 and 219 more virus news stories. There were a couple I should have gotten right, but I clicked before I read all of the multiple guesses. All I seem to see is virus news, over and over.

We can only hope.
Of course, if he did take sick and die of COVID, he'd become a bigger martyr/president than Lincoln and JFK combined.

Only to the insanely stupid.

Please oh please let that smug motherfucker Jared Kushner get the worst case of covid ever. I don’t care if that makes me a terrible human being, I would crack open my bottle of Laphroaig to celebrate that event.
