Hey I should have my version of a famous Fats Waller tune as soon as I get my hands off the computer keyboard and onto the piano keyboard (give or take a few hours). Let’s say we shoot for 2pm PST. I’ve been busy and a bit batty up since three in the morning on a buzz.
Specifically, I’ve been obsessed with what I hope will be a final script revision based on all the things we learned during our workshop. I’ve got a zoom meeting with Kelsey at 10 pm, so I’ve got about an hour and a half to clean up the embarrassing last scene. (All seven scenes beforehand are pretty cool, however.)
In the meantime, here’s another excerpt from the discussion we had a while back. The man in the beret is the linguistics professor named Kurt, whom I often speak of very highly. The fellow named Doug to whom he alludes is a local pastor of dubious persuasion. Not sure how many cups of coffee I had before my own presentation (I only know how many I’ve had this morning.)
Anyway, hope you enjoy this. It’s about four minutes long.

It’s strange the way the concept of herd immunity has been distorted, which really seems to come back to Donald Trump. But the whole idea of herd immunity from a public health standpoint is that there will always be a small group that’s so vulnerable that you can’t do much directly to them to reduce their risk, so you have to reduce the risk around them by getting other people immune, ideally through vaccination. It was never meant to be an excuse to just let an antigen rage unchecked through a population until everyone was either immune or killed off.
