Kind of hard to say if the deaths and cases out of China are accurate. Take the death of the ophthalmologist guy who blew the whistle on the whole epidemic, for example. Russia is another case in point where medical professionals start to fall out of windows if they say anything too far out of

The repeat tests being positive do not mean the sailors were necessarily reinfected, or infectious. It is a PCR. Cases like this have been described in China also, but no documented transmission has occurred from these individuals to others and they may simply still be shedding viral RNA without

This is about what I was thinking: 42hp 0-60mph 37s 0-100kph 42s Top speed 68mph. But that was a manual trans, and the Hemmings car is supposed to be an automatic? Compares favorably to a 36hp VW a friend drove 60 years ago that had to draft a truck to maintain 65mph.
