My coworker's BF was in a room last week with someone who has been diagnosed with CV, and my coworker visited her BF last weekend, and my coworker and I have been in close proximity this week carpooling.
So we shall see! 
My main concern is that we were carpooling to a couple study groups, one on Tuesday, one yesterday, and there are elderly people (older than me!!!) that also attend these study groups, so fingers crossed that we didn't accidentally infect people that are more vulnerable to this thing.

It's ok - I have a condom over my monitor and I've blocked up the fans in the case, so I can't catch it from you.

Quote: I have a condom over my monitor
Must be a very large item. Was it for personal use?

Regrettably, it's a very small monitor.

Someone sent me the genome for Covid-19 in a WhatsApp message last week. It's shown here: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 isolate Wuhan-Hu-1, co - Nucleotide - NCBI
Now I'm no geneticist, but I understand that the 'code' there is a complete description of the virus, and substituting the 4 possible options of nucleotide for 2 binary bits means you can represent it succinctly in a few KB. Can that really be right? So it seems it's perfectly possible to email the real virus around, as long as you've got some machine which can run the code and infect you plugged into your USB port.
Weird really, but then I can fit the DNA sequence of everyone in my office on a USB memory stick these days, and that's weird too.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

I know people who you could fit their DNA sequence on a dozen feet of punched tape[^].

But condoms are not 100% effective, so if Marc posts a picture of himself breathing out, don't look!

If you have a run-down feeling, maybe you were hit by 2CV?

I can think of few things more embarrassing than being run over by a French car!

Wouldn't feel a thing. I once saw one of these roll over about 3 or 4 times, before coming to rest on a patch of grass. The two girls inside clambered out through the sunroof none the worse for wear.

had to google that - they made that car for 42 years? Wow

What's sad is that their security products are actually quite good, but their decision to roll out updates without proper testing is killing them.
