I'm referring to the idea that the transmission was primarily from physical contact, people touching something then the next person...

    Oops. $2.1 Billion missing in Audit of German company Wirecard

    Wirecard CEO quits after auditors can't find $2.1 billion How the heck do you misplace $2.1 Billion unless you were involved in the fraud? The CEO resigned, but I'd guess he is going to be facing charges, I hope they informed him to not leave the area.

    When you stay at somebody's house...

    Just a few thoughts, in my early decades I mostly stayed at others houses, mostly my sister when I went back to NH to visit family, and occasionally others. The most common mistake that (I was guilty of this) guests make is thinking that they need to spend time with the host as almost an...

It's human nature to just think nothing bad happened if they didn't develop a cough following this weekend, so I think the spread is going to be significant. What do...

    It didn't take law firms long to start exploiting this pandemic for profit.

    I expect numerous lawsuits to be filed over this pandemic, especially if there is success with these. I wouldn't be surprised to see those bottom feeders at Sokolove Law Firm to start running ads for anybody who caught the virus while being 'forced' to work.

    Claim that one third of renters didn't pay rent
