They seem pretty reliable. They are retweeted a lot hence why they end up here.

This is great.

quote:

Mona is eighteen. Her grandparents have been taking her on a Luxury Cruise every spring since she was five. Mona always sleeps through both breakfast and lunch and spends all night at the Scorpio Disco and in the Mayfair Casino playing the slots. She is six two if she's an inch. She's going to attend Penn State next fall, because the agreement is that she'll receive a fourwheel-drive vehicle if she goes someplace where there might be snow. She is unabashed in recounting this college-selection criterion. She is an incredibly demanding passenger and diner, but her complaints about slight aesthetic and gustatory imperfections at table lack Trudy and Esther's discernment and come off as simply churlish. Mona is also kind of strange-looking: a body like Brigitte Nielsen or some centerfold on steroids, and above it, framed in resplendent blond hair, the tiny unhappy face of a kind of corrupt doll. Her grandparents, who retire every night right after supper, always make a small ceremony after dessert of handing Mona $100 to "go have some fun" with. This $100 bill is always in one of those little ceremonial bank envelopes that has Franklin's face staring out of a porthole-like window in the front, and written on the envelope in red Magic Marker is always "We love You, Honey." Mona never once says thank you. She also rolls her eyes at just about everything her grandparents say, a habit that very quickly drives me up the wall.

Mona's special customary gig on 7NC luxury Cruises is to lie to the waiter and maitre d' and say that Thursday is her birthday, so that at the Formal supper on Thursday she gets bunting and a heart-shaped helium balloon tied to her chair, and her own cake, and pretty much the whole restaurant staff comes out and. forms a circle around her and sings to her. Her real birthday, she informs me on Monday, is July 29, and when I quietly observe that July 29 is also the birthday of Benito Mussolini, Mona's grandmother shoots me kind of a death-look, although Mona herself is excited at the coincidence, apparently confusing the names Mussolini and Maserati.

I hope mona gets coronavirus.

If you’re seriously concerned then the NHS procedure is to call 111, explain the situation and then they will advise. You’re not supposed to go to the doctors or go out at all if you suspect you have it because that would risk further spread.

Virus grows in nasopharynx and digestive tract independently of the lungs, and from those areas in people showing only mild flu symptoms, the virus can be cultured.

Also a newborn in Wuhan that tested negative in the womb has been infected by its infected mother, but doctors are unsure of how (the possibilities are before or during birth, or right after)

Don’t be surprised if cruise lines don’t suspend operations altogether once a pandemic is officially declared. Either through government decree or their insurers dropping their coverage due to unacceptable risk (liability)
