wow, sounds pretty threatening. i haven't heard anything about it though. do you have any legit sources i could read?(not saying i don't believe you or anything lol, it's just good to read and to have to show other people too.) do you know anything about any specific ways the virus can most likely be contracted as opposed to others? in other words, anything in particular we should avoid those days, and for how long you think?
