Who is safe from the virus?
This guy, on a solo sailing circumnavigation. Ahhh, but considering what he's doing, "safe" is relative.

Fastrrrrrrrr!

He's not safe. He's just postponing the inevitable. Plus, while we gradually ingest tiny virus particles floating though the air and slowly build up our immunity, he'll finally get off his boat after months at sea and immediately keel over dead.

There are some US Navy submarines out from port, and safe from any infection. The folks at the south pole research station are fairly safe fro the virus as well.

I went to the bank.
Most local branches were shut down. Only the drive-thru was open. Everyone touched the same tube. Tellers touched all contents.

I'll take my chances here vs sailing around the world alone on a sail boat. But it still sounds fun!

Chinese people are safe. They aren't dying over there anymore and it wasn't a very big problem to begin with.

If you think Chinese people are safe, what about the North Korean people. First day one, second day none, third day none at all, and none EVER after that, Amazing.
