I touch lots of surfaces every day, too...with a disinfecting wipe or a disinfecting spray.

I sure wish I could get my wife and son to take it seriously, too. I’m constantly having to wipe up after the when they get home.

Just heard that Trump has canceled a couple of his Events. I assume they are talking about the MAGA Rally’s.

He must have had a mandatory team meeting the day that subject was discussed in his 500-Level Microbiology Class in college

You’ve concluded he has Coronavirus already?

Michael Kinney @EyeAmTruth · 11m The hallway to the #OkcThunder visitor's locker room is empty except for @utahjazz travel bags stacked up in the corner. No sign of any players, but still don't know if any have left or not. #coronavirus #nba

Exactly, any athlete is going to be very hard for the virus to kill. If infected, it will be just a mild cold/flu and then their body will kill off the virus.
