To each to their own. I made a bundle.
I do have a question. I've seen all these self- quarantine martyrs on TV, have you seen any prices on what the cost of the tests are and how that stacks up against the lost of 2 week production?

Second question:
This is from the Washington Post last Sat. "The grim conclusion: For patients infected with the novel coronavirus who became critically ill with pneumonia and entered their ICU, the doctors recorded “high” numbers of fatalities. Of the 52 people included in the sample, 32 died in the 28-day span of the study, revealing a death rate of 61 percent. Most died within seven days of being admitted to the ICU.

For comparison, mortality rates generally ranging between 30 and 40 percent are observed for patients who are sickened by ordinary seasonal flu and are fighting pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome in ICUs."

I would like your opinion and consider that the "ordinary flu" seems to strike all ages and the Coronavirus mostly attack us "old farts".
