From what I have read, there now are 3 "possible instances of community spread" in OR, WA, and northern CA. Americans can expect that their customary social interactions will be subject to change.

Speaking of change, is there an effective way to sanitize money? I suppose coins could have a bath in a jar of chlorine bleach, and paper money might survive a certain time in a microwave.

On "Real Time", Bill Maher's show, last night the guests were bowing (Japanese style) rather than shaking hands or hugging.

If you are going to panic, try to be the first one to panic. (wink)



I understand that testing kits are in short supply. So I suspect that the 69 confirmed cases in the USA understates the number of cases.
