Beggar Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 What really makes me worried is that there is so much effort done to contain this virus. Call me naive but I think they might have a reason for this. It costs a huge amount of money and they would not do this for runny noses. But as always - I could be wrong.
