I can tell you that there are great things happening in Biotech. Much is being learned in medicine. There is a great collaborative effort happening. This virus is going to change the way we live in many ways. It's a great eye opener, not just for China, but for all of us.
The good news is that China has closed the last of the, I think 8, emergency hospitals it built for this virus because there are no longer enough new cases to warrant keeping them open.

A fine hypithesos my dear old sock -sorter;- But false. It was a cunning plan designed to stop England winning the 6 nations and Hamilton getting his 7th championship. What Boris doesn't know is that, on the short -list being drawn up by the Global atheism science-bribing steering -group and baby-burger catering outlet, Boris was one of the first on the list.

P.s also add my thanks for the update from Cruithne.

I had thought it was a cunning plan hatched by the MLB team owners to distract from the cheating scandal which was all anyone had been talking about for the last six months.

And it has worked....no one is talking about the stolen signs any longer, only about whether or not there will be a season at all.

Hmm, I thought the whole thing was hatched by a college sophomore at North Dakota State who decided to get completely trashed instead of studying for that big trig test he had the next day. So he took some of that 7-month-old hamburger meat, that 19-week-old loaf of bread, and that General Tso's chicken he ordered last year, stuck it all in a big test tube, shook it up really well, then went to the student union and smashed the tube on the floor - releasing the now deadly coronavirus. All so that campus would be shut down and he wouldn't have to take the test after all.

It's actually called the "coronavirus" because Corona was what the sophomore got drunk on, thus causing him to inadvertantly create the first true pandemic since the Spanish flu in 1918.

Sad thing is - his plan actually worked.

Ye gads my dear old bog snorkeler! What a dastardly plot. The cads! (well actually, I'm ok with England not winning the 6 nations. As the current holders, it should go by default to Wales. Cymru am Byth!)

Pfft! Lockdown extended for a further 15 days starting next Friday. That will until 13th April and then probably another 15. Pass me the knife someone!

'Corona' I gather is the US equivalent of 'Bloody Watney's Red Barrel', a thing called 'beer' when even i could drink 8 pints of without getting drunk. It was trading on the 'social drunk' to disguise the fact that there was no functioning alcoholic content.

I mentioned'Window 10' disease, but now I think of it 'Beer depreciation' was probably the precursor of that.
