Good reading material from the CDC:https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nc ... urces.html
Testing seems to play the role you'd expect: helping clarify the picture, with caveats.

The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
There was a lady on the radio today saying you can make you own hand sanitizer by mixing hand cream with a little gin or vodka.
Do you think that'll work with beer?

Beer is to be used in all situations where other drinks might be used, like water. You drink it.

Inspected my trail. All frozen cock-stiff. No traffic. Certified C18-free.
Last week this 50km stretch had so much traffic, it was blocked up like a basement toilet. Cardio-nuts every one. I stayed away from the area today, but my photo from the crazy crowds made it into the local paper.
(spoilered because it's a shit image)
