– From the diary of Samuel Pepys during the Great Plague, London, 1665 (Not really. The quote is a spoof. See comments below.)

Pepys quote is fake. It’s from a spoof Twitter account. How embarrassing.
I stand corrected. Embarrassed? Not really. The Twitter account (https://twitter.com/Pepys_Diaries) is terrific.
