    From God, who is our home:
    Heaven lies about us in our infancy!
    Shades of the prison-house begin to close
    Upon the growing Boy,
    But he beholds the light, and whence it flows,
    He sees it in his joy;
    The Youth, who daily farther from the east
    Must travel, still is Nature's Priest,
    And by the vision splendid
    Is on his way attended;
    At length the Man perceives it die away,
    And fade into the light of common day.

    edit: could this be bio terrorism? China creates a virus, slams a small pop in it's own country, makes sure it spreads all over the US. Then miraculously contains their number of cases. The numbers in China show they have stopped it, but are they giving up the real numbers?

    One of my all time favorite poems from my all time favorite poet. Intimations of Immortality From Recollections of Childhood. If memory serves. Wordsworth was the man.

    Supposedly there are 4 million less cell phone subscribers in China than there were 3 months ago, dunno how to account for that.

    Mamboni probably coined the term. It will now go viral.

    Are there any example placebo effects associated to hyperproboscusophobia, that can lead to COV-19 type symptoms when viewing the word on any thread?

    Where can one go to get a real take on what is going on in China? I haven't watched the news in 17 years and even if I did, I don't think I'd believe it. Are hospitals in the US getting swamped yet?
