The governments tried to pretend that locking down for only a few weeks, then months, would make sense, but those of us in the loop already knew it would be necessary to lockdown for a lot longer to completely eliminate the spread of the virus. But the governments won't say that, because then people wouldn't accept the lockdown, and because they themselves wanted to open up the economy as soon as possible. It will probably take longer than expected to get a vaccine, too, and might take a LOT longer.

Now imagine managing a menage a trois under lockdown. This is more or less like advanced chess.

It was hard enough to line them up before the lockdown. I can't even imagine how terrible it must be for the youth. I now play chess in the afternoons/evenings with my old neighbours, a thing we started this month. I hadn't played for 30-35 years. I'm better than those guys but one who's been doing it for ever, but I'm learning his tricks, and it's getting a little less brain strain painful.

I beat the master once, but I'm still no Jedi. Today's game was pretty damn close though. It was the closest thing to an Old West shoot out that chess could have. Our game was pretty close all the way, but by the end, aside from a few pawns in the way, we had undefended kings in opposite corners and each were maneuvering our queens with 3 active pieces into position to trap the other's king. I was one or two moves away at most. An invigorating fair match. I always shake hands after he beats me and he always adds a fist bump after for some reason. Odd that you said that, or maybe it's common in chess. I never played it much, though I used to walk by it a lot in Manhattan.
