Me, I am a big Gin fan... I do not have much use for Vodka. Vodka has no taste unless you add something to it. A bottle of Gin in the Freezer for 2 weeks is a good martini. I have found when in St John and the noseeums are bad, rubbing Gin on your legs works much better than most commercial products. And definitely better than vodka! Some of the local concoctions with herbs and oils work well also. But Gin is the best for me. Sorry for the off ramp.

15 days later, it is 19 April. Not trying to be a gloomier, but to document the future of the thread I started Italy has 175,925 cases and 23,227 dead Spain has 195,944 cases and 20,453 dead USA has 735,366 cases and 39,095 dead There are many other countries but this thread started as an Italy thread, added Spain and USA that was almost nothing on day one Of this thread. We can’t really conclude anything for sure but the doubling of cases in USA has has taken 2 weeks rather than days which is a positive sign but testing of only sick people might be Hiding all the asymptomatics.

9 May, 10 days later
Italy 217,185 infected/ 30,201 dead Spain 222,857 infected/ 26,299 dead USA 1,286,833 infected/ 77,280 dead UK. 212,629 infected/ 31,316 dead Russia. 198,676 infected/. 1,827 dead
UK started much later and has passed Italy and Spain in deaths with fewer confirmed infections. UK still accepting people at Heathrow and thinking about a quarantine. I would contend they have been slow to see things or maybe they see them differently.
Russia was late to get it but has high number infections with low deaths early on thus far. Possibly quicker to test relatively speaking or early in the game.
