Just as a reminder. Think clean. Wash your hands often and with plenty of soap and hot water. Try and reduce your exposure to the public and avoid crowds in close places like movie theaters and the like.
The WHO and other public agencies are trying to keep a nice 'face' on this but methinks it may be worse than what we are being told.

If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people - their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties - someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad; if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal." - John F. Kennedy
