Supermarkets in Denmark are giving a great example of how to act in a time of crazy hoarders running amok. Nothing is missing in their shelves because if one buy 1 product, pay 1X$, if someone buy 2 or more, they will pay 50X$ for each item.

CNN Travel’s best place to visit in Germany in 2020, no less!
(No, the tourist board doesn’t pay me. But it’s kinda nice when one’s obscure hometown gets some, dare I say it, exposure.)
Afraid not. Like everything else bad for them, that’s Obummer’s fault in their eyes.
ETA: per the Johns Hopkins dashboard, currently 253 infections, 1 death, 9 recovered.

Went out to get supplies today (more coffee and butter and bacon). The husband went in and facetimed me, while I sat safe in the car. We were near a hospital shortly after shift change, and I saw 3 different people in scrubs go in or out of the store.

Lopinavir-ritonavir didnt work in its first controlled trial
Review by Canadian pharmacy board finds inadequate data to recommend for or against ibuprofen in covid. So yeah, more data needed.

Oh for the days when all we worried about was “germs.”
