Joe Biden billboard

If your argument is that a certain presidential candidate has dementia and is therefore unfit for office and unable to serve, maybe make sure you spell "dementia" right.

This photo of an anti-Biden billboard located along Route 21--and spotted in person by my brother--is currently making the rounds on social media due to its butchering of the word "dementia." 

It reminds one of another infamous billboard misspelling.

#NeverForget

Again, editors and copywriters are important. Or even just, you know, good, old-fashioned spellcheck.

And if you're concerned about Biden's mental status, please keep in mind that he has had a stutter since he was a child and note Trump's frequent stumbles and mispronunciations. Musings from Fayettenam supports Biden for president due to his experience and policies, but no matter who you support, please exercise your right to vote. Visit VotesPA to register to vote, request a mail-in ballot, and find your polling place, as well as to find information on important deadlines like the last day to register to vote or submit your mail-in ballot.

Covid-19 resource masterpost

We may all be practicing social distancing, but that doesn't mean our communities can't support each other through an unprecedented, difficult time that's impacting just about every single one of us.

The novel coronavirus continues to spread across the country, and in an attempt to lessen the impact on health and our healthcare system, schools and businesses are closing temporarily, putting some families in difficult positions where they are unable to work, putting a strain on household finances that may already be struggling, or need help with childcare. Fortunately, businesses all over the area are stepping up to help ease these burdens as much as possible.

Below is an alphabetical list by area of all Fayette County restaurants offering free or discounted meals to children during the school closures. Any new additions will be marked in bold, and links lead to websites or social-media posts with further details.

If you have recently been exposed to someone who has tested positive for the virus or are experiencing symptoms--a dry cough, fever, and shortness of breath--do not go to the hospital. Call your doctor or a hospital first and they will advise you on what to do.
