Coronavirus Insanity: Cruise bookings are inexplicably up, wine deliveries by dog, and more…

Here are some NOT-so-serious stories about the coronavirus outbreak . . .

  2. A 99-year-old man in New Jersey was charged with violating the stay-at-home order after he went to a relative’s engagement party.

Jumbo-sized versions of Kellogg’s cereals are the newest snack food…

It’s about time!

Kellogg’s just announced a new product called Jumbo Snax.

Basically, they took four of their most popular cereals, made larger versions of the cereal pieces, and put them in little single-serving bags so you can eat them like you’d eat chips or popcorn . . . no milk required.

The four cereals are:  Froot Loops . . . Frosted Flakes . . . Apple Jacks . . . and Corn Pops.

These will go on sale next month.

A guy going 100 miles-an-hour in his Lamborghini says he was rushing to his coronavirus test…

Well here’s an excuse for speeding that no cop ever heard before this year.

A 35-year-old guy in Sydney, Australia was pulled over on Monday for doing 100 miles-an-hour in his Lamborghini in a 55 mile-an-hour zone.

His excuse?  He told the cops he was rushing to the hospital to get tested for coronavirus.

The cops gave him a fine for speeding and his license was suspended.  

Apparently he WAS tested, but there’s no word on whether it came back positive.

More results . . .

Here are the top changes we’ve made in the past month . . .

  1. Avoiding crowded places. 67% are doing it now, compared to 27% a month ago.
  1. Not touching certain things when you go out. 50%, up from 24%.
  1. Better personal hygiene, like washing your hands more. 65% said yes.
  1. Skipping work, or working from home. 24%, which is EIGHT TIMES higher than last month.  And that’s 24% of ALL adults, not just the 63% who make up the workforce.
  1. Avoiding tourists. It’s doubled in the last month to 35%.
  1. Keeping your kids home from school. 18% said yes, compared to just 1% last month.  But only about 22% of us have school-age kids at home.  So 18% is a lot.
  1. Wearing a face mask in public. 12%, up from 7% a month ago.

Roughly 1 in 7 people said they’re still not taking ANY protective measures . . . including 6% who hadn’t even heard about the virus before they took the survey.
