Standing Rock Tribe Wins in Court After Years of Perseverance | Earthjustice

A federal judge struck down permits for the Dakota Access Pipeline, even after COVID-19 precautions led to an unconventional day in court.

Corona Virus Rap: Flatten the Curve: Mach die Kurve flach | MaximNoise - YouTube

Now with embedded subtitles...

Flatten the Curve

Today, stay home under your own roof

Flatten the curve

Between your four walls, whether day or night

Flatten the curve

Don't just think about yourself - pay attention to others. Flatten the curve

Together we're strong; alone we're weak. Flatten the curve.

The sun's shining outside, but I'm staying in today

'Cause I think about others, too, and I'm not egotistic

Because even though I'm healthy, it sadly makes no sense

For me to make things hard for Grandma and Grandpa

So much is unknown about the virus

But it spreads aimlessly across the land, and at the same time, causes fear

So I don't cough on you or reach for your hand

We want to break these chains and slow the whole thing down

Sure, we all had other plans

But we still won't make a scene today

We're getting into quarantine

'Cause we can all meet up when it's over

So why not consider others and save a few lives on the way?

Isolation's no easy situation

But we've got to get through it, so long as viruses threaten us

We want to protect doctors and hospitals;

That's why, today, we're staying right where we live

Come and sing with me:

Today, stay home under your own roof

Flatten the curve

Between your four walls, whether day or night

Flatten the curve

Don't just think about yourself - pay attention to others

Flatten the curve

Together we're strong; alone we're weak

Flatten the curve

I flatten the curve like the paper in my toilet

And if I have no more, I wash my poop off with a rag

It'll be washed well, then hung up to dry

There'll be no trouble started here over a pack of toilet paper

Ay, I flatten the curve like my belly at my morning workout

Full energy; it makes me fit and calms my worries

I drink water, and pay attention to nutrition while I'm at it

And when this whole horrible mess is over, I'll be fit as a fiddle

I flatten the curve, flat at jokes no one laughs at

And finally we come to the things you don't1 have time for

We can learn foreign languages or read a book for once

We can play Playstation and have a good time

I flatten the curve for everyone who wouldn't make it otherwise

For everyone who's too weak, and who the curve would steal forever

'Cause this curve can be the world to someone

Just stay home and you can be a hero

Come and sing with me:

Today, stay home under your own roof

Flatten the curve

Between your four walls, whether day or night

Flatten the curve

Don't just think about yourself - pay attention to others

Flatten the curve

Together we're strong; alone we're weak

Flatten the curve

It's all just so crazy.

But one day we'll be back, stronger than ever

Avoid contact and keep your distance

Today we keep the curve flat, man, yeah

It's all just so crazy.

But one day we'll be back, stronger than ever

Avoid contact and keep your distance

Today we keep the curve flat, man, yeah

Come and sing with me:

Today, stay home under your own roof

Flatten the curve

Between your four walls, whether day or night

Flatten the curve

Don't just think about yourself - pay attention to others

Flatten the curve

Together we're strong; alone we're weak

Flatten the curve
