Well Marc, Julius Caesar's death.

"By the time of his assassination on 15 March (the Ides of March) 44BC, Julius Caesar was at the height of his power, having recently been declared dictator perpetuo by the Roman Senate.

This kind of power made many senators nervous that Caesar would overthrow the senate and establish one-man tyranny. Thus they planned to murder him and restore the authority of the Roman Republic.

Despite being warned of the plot in the days before, Caesar went to the Senate on the 15th. There, a group of about 30 Senators - including Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius - attacked him with knives, stabbing him numerous times. Records of his last words vary; some mentioned that he said nothing, or said "You too, child?" in Greek. The most famous supposed phrase, "Et tu, Brute?" comes from William Shakespeare's 1599 play Julius Caesar and has no basis in fact.

In any case the goals of the assassination failed. It led to civil war and the eventual assumption to power of Augustus, who became the first Roman Emperor."

I am so pissed off w the stripping of supermarket shelves. Society is such a dissonant mix of those Italians singing from self isolation to boost spirits and those Spaniards cheering city-wide in support of their health workers...and these vultures in supermarkets only thinking of themselves.

The Ides of March ... Marc.

I'll watch my back, Bob. Thanks for the heads up.

For me, each day is gonna be:

Supporting my local community, local shops, pubs, restaurants...washing my hands more times than I care to remember.
And checking on elderly neighbours.

Keeping my clinics running, being frank w patients re hygiene protocols, not hiding behind fear.

And hoping beyond hope I'm able to wing it in business. If I can go out and support local concerns, others can support mine.

I have zero safety net, no contracts, no sick pay.
