A Quick Summary of the COVID-19 Literature So Far, from Medscape
Cats observing social distancing, from The Philippine Star, on Twitter
“Where is all the toilet paper going? Charmin and other manufacturers say they are producing 24/7. I haven't been able to buy any since March 6.

("The calculation — known as Value of a Statistical Life or VSL — is the amount people are willing to spend to cut risk enough to save one life.
