COVID questions

Sun., March 29, 2020

I have two very important questions about the COVID-19 outbreak.

1. Just because a person tests negative for the virus doesn’t mean they are in the clear. Wouldn’t you have to be tested frequently because as more and more people become infected, there is a greater chance of getting infected yourself? We can’t all stay home, avoid crowds, or stop taking the bus.

2. I suppose an equally important question would be: How has the pandemic affected the sale of Corona beer? Answers anyone?
