Philip, as it’s been in our country for ages, we have some natural immunity to influenza. We have none to COVID-19. COVID-19 is a virus new to us, with a much higher death rate than flu, and unknown long-term effects. We are trying “flatten the curve” so as not to cause a collapse with our healt

Good price for a nice bike. It's definitely too big for me, but based on the saddle height in that picture, it doesn't look to big for you. Obviously, you know better than me if it doesn't fit, but out of curiosity, what about feels too big? Not enough standoff height? Eamon Seattle -- You re

Two factors: 1. We don't know how the virus reacts to warmer temps yet. 2. We don't have a vaccine yet. We can't treat it as "like the flu every year" until we've been through this pandemic and can see the other side of it, and with a vaccine to fight it. Which means all of us speculating about
