I heard that a patient in Melbourne was diagnosed as suffering from Coronavirus today.

He was told that he would be immediately placed in an isolation room and fed on a diet of flounder, pizza and flat bread.

He asked the doctor whether that diet was going to cure him.

The doctor replied, “No. BUT they are the only things that we can slide in under the door!”.

I'm glad to see a sense of humor here.

I also hope that the folks here are aware of what this is actually all about.

It's not a laughing matter, ...
