schestowitzI'm not interested in Go or anything else Gulag controls.May 17 14:59
schestowitzRegarding COVID-19, responses will improve over time, e.g. pills and stuff. My mom got it twice already, so just "getting it" doesn't mean jack. It harms the body each time. Minimising the number of infections until we can combat this thing like we do the flu... probably worthwhile if one can work from home.May 17 14:59
