    What a strange world we are living in.
    BTW, a news item in the Associated Press looks interesting:

Researchers in England say they have the first evidence that a 
drug can improve COVID-19 survival: A cheap, widely available 
steroid reduced deaths by up to one third in severely ill 
hospitalized patients.

The results were announced Tuesday and the British government 
immediately authorized the drug’s use across the United Kingdom 
for coronavirus patients like those who did well in the study. 
Researchers said they would publish results soon in a medical 
journal, and several independent experts said it’s important to 
see details to know how much of a difference the drug, 
dexamethasone, might make and for whom.
