I didn\u2019t need to waste my\ntime looking further.&nbsp; I <em>definitely<\/em>\nfelt fatigued.&nbsp; In fact, I am going to\ntake nap right after I finish writing this important ALERT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I will now begin\ntaking standard Coronavirus precautions.&nbsp;\nAnd we all know what that means.&nbsp;\nAs soon as I\u2019m done with my nap, I will be heading directly to Costco to\nbuy massive quantities of toilet paper.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I am not quite sure what I\u2019m supposed to do with all the toilet paper.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t asked the internet yet.\u00a0 I plan to Google that as soon as I unload my toilet paper.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Next, I will\ncall my employer and inform him that I will be \u201cself-quarantining\u201d myself for\nthe next 14 days.&nbsp; This will be a\ndifficult conversation because I\u2019m self-employed.&nbsp; As a boss, I can be a real pain in the\na**.&nbsp; In fact, if I keep insisting that I\nneed to self-quarantine, I might have to fire myself. &nbsp;I\u2019ll just have to see how the conversation\ngoes.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Finally, I\u2019ll\nhave to contact all the major presidential campaigns and let them know not to\nexpect me at any of their rallies.&nbsp; I\u2019ll\nespecially have to do this for Joe Biden, because that will likely drop his\naudience into single digits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Wish me\nluck!&nbsp;
