Too much soy sauce puts teen in coma!

 With all due respect to cancer and heart disease, there may be no greater threat to the health of young men than the unfailing urge to blindly accept dumb dares from so-called friends.

Such was the case for a 19-year-old man from Virginia who earned an unenviable spot in the Journal of Emergency Medicine by becoming the first known human to overdose on soy sauce and suffer no permanent neurological damage. 

Yes, soy sauce.

Not long after consuming a quart of the salty substance, the man began to twitch and suffer seizures, forcing those very same friends to rush him to the hospital, according to Live Science. 

By the time he made it to the emergency room, he was foaming at the mouth and had slipped into a coma.

Fortunately, he survived but the experience didn't do much for his "critical thinking!"

The way I see it anyway!

School Daze!

 Most of our students are either back at school, or will be back, within the next week or so. 

The elementary school kids in both Canada and the U.S. will either be home schooled and/or attend classes where they will have a certain amount of social distancing... and wear face masks... to keep them safe. (I can say this with a fair amount of confidence since these kids are still young enough to follow rules that keep them relatively safe!)

However: Kids in the upper grades such as high school and college/university are at an age where they have gone through puberty and entered a mysterious realm where they are expected to behave like adults. 

BUT: they will still lack any form of critical thinking until they are well into their twenties! (This is especially true for the young men since they seem to have a slower development of what we call 'common sense' than the ladies do!)

Armed with physical prowess but lacking maturity these apprentice adults will sow chaos and destruction across the land since they are not totally capable of self control yet! (This naturally includes a disregard for any precautions to  keep themselves safe from COVID-19.)

This, my friends, is what will foster continued hot spots of plague around any college or University town. This is what will continue to put the population in general at peril! 

Your ever cautious servant sees no end in sight until someone comes up with a vaccine folks!

The way I see it anyway!
