    It is very sad. It seems there is very little known about this virus. I have never seen anything like this in my life. I feel a lot of this is being politicized. But that’s just my opinion. I feel all countries should be working together to come up with a cure/vaccination. Hearing lots of stories of people reaching out to others with food and services. Hopefully this will change the way people think, I hope some good will come out of this.

    Oh, I think a lot of good things are happening. People and companies are working together to source supplies, get them, and deliver them. Food too, for those unable or first responders too busy. Countries are swapping supplies not needed, even those who previously did not get along so well. I think all in all, most are putting politics aside for the greater good of helping people where it's needed.

    The whole scientific community, in all countries, are working on vaccines but that takes time. People have to remember too, vaccines are not a guarantee either you won't get it. How many still get the flu virus even though they had a vaccination shot...and we have decades of experience with that one.

    Lysol doesn't work on my package, and I hear it's not good for Grundigs either, so be careful when applying that stuff to your package.
