If that were the tortilla's potato based Norwegian cousin, it would make a great rhyme in Norwegian ... as that is called lompe and rhymes with rompe (which you might guess is the Norwegian word for butt).
Another funny thing about that is that the most common use of lompe in Norway is for wrapping a hot dog ...
Hope I am forgiven for bringing in a silly digression in a serious thread. Without a little silliness we'd all enter a collective depression, I'm afraid.

I think keeping a sense of humor is important ... it is for me at least

Well, first reported death here in Mexico. Still low on cases and all non-essential services a long with restaurants and bars as well as limited public transit to go into effect Saturday.
Also, first round of virtual classes and meetings. Gotta say, I kinda like it. I made some videos for my students, put them up on youtube (no, not sharing, they suck) and been using Facebook and Zoom to follow up. Tomorrow is the heavy duty day. 5 hour class. Should be fun.

Potato based you say? I have a lot of potatoes and no bread.
And speaking of practical home cooking amid shortages, I've just seen someone using Trooper to make bread. Don't tell Rod!
Not that we're out all the time, but not being able to go to the park for 10-15 minutes is brutal.

I'm out of two jobs now because of this. I work in a theatre, and a theme park, which have both now closed.
Universal Basic Income, when?

And in Poland salaries will be lower by 20-60% in companies that are having problems and almost no government help for these companies.
I lost one contract thanks to this epidemic but thankfully a bigger company offered me better position yesterday so maybe it will be ok.

I wish that were true. My workload has increased dramatically since I started working from home and I also have to take care of my daughter's botched online education. I long to go back to office.

This is gruesome. Essentially, if you aren't in perfect health when you get infected you run a high risk of dying. It's horrible. To think a few months ago the current state of the world would seem like that out of a hollywood movie.
My job sent everyone home but is still paying people (student job funded by the college). Still need a new job cause the student work isn’t enough for where I’m at now. Grocery stores here are hiring like crazy. I didn’t even interview, just walked in and she gave me the background check and told me to start on Monday.
