"If you're anything like me you knock on wood every time you make plans, you cross your fingers, hold your breath, wish on lucky numbers and eyelashes, your superstitions were the lone survivors of the shipwreck"

But the showgirl doesn't knock on wood bc it's all man made, she makes her own luck

You have a choice to make: will you help Trump or will you take steps to prevent the spread of disease? We need systemic change, but we can each start by masking when we share air, using HEPA air filters etc.
