Re: Coronavirus Thread. Virus v humans

My hometown is officially a "cluster" now, with 23 cases, all brought to us by the same evangelical weirdos who organized a rally in Mulhouse.
All schools, theatres and sports buildings are closed for two weeks at last.
We're de facto self-quarantined. Good thing I work from home.
