posted here today. I think they are probably propaganda. There is no cure and anyone worth listening to would not use the word cure.

It's almost as if some here don't want a "cure" or vaccine found (until after November). Sad. Articles were pretty good, and said nothing about a "cure" as one poster implied.

My OP was asking for comments. I wasn’t endorsing the article.

But beyond that, I am interested in how other countries are approaching things. Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have been released from the hospital in Australia. Probably totally unrelated, but someone is going to have to find an answer, right?

Time will tell, I suppose. Thanks for your response.
