Note that the ethanol comes in at 80% in the final product. Tou could probably go down to 70% for our current concerns, and still work just fine.

Maryland public schools closed starting Monday for two weeks.
Do you want the apolitical answer to that question?
We have a globally connected population. Where viruses originate really doesn't matter much, if they are allowed to spread unchecked, they become a global problem (e.g., pandemic). Since many countries and societies refuse to acknowledge the epidemiological impacts of viral spread, it isn't really "foreign" in many respects. The people making Americans sick are Americans at this point.
For example, if HIV originated in the Belgian Congo (one leading theory), do we call HIV/AIDs a foreign viral invasion? Or do we call it what it is a global pandemic?
At this point, we need not worry where the thing came from, we need to worry how we stop it from spreading unchecked. POTUS and many others want to play a political blame game, "This is China's fault!" -
No, it's the fault of ignorant people, ignoring the advice of intelligent people, and choosing to believe that they are smarter/stronger/faster/whateverer in the face of reality.
This is Dunning-Kruger run amok - it's hubris at, literally, the highest level of our country and society. Our own president and vice president have been exposed to this virus, not by the Chinese, but by an American. Security protocols should have been in place to prevent that from occurring, period. Calling this a 'foreign viral invasion' does not underscore the reality that we are at fault for our own problems.
Tell ya one thing.
In about 9 months, there are gonna be a shitload of babies born.
Cobb County Georgia schools closed for TBD time frame. That is Marietta area - suburb of Atlanta.
FYI. Georgia has used school closures in past to limit activity during times of community stress. Lesson learned from Snowapocalypse a few years back. School closed - kids home - someone home with kids = less people out and about and in harms way.
I thought I posted that up thread but for those who don’t see the significance ....

Waffle House Index
Quote:
The Waffle House Index is an informal metric used by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to determine the effect of a storm and the likely scale of assistance required for disaster recovery.[1]
If you get there and the Waffle House is closed? That's really bad...[2]
— Craig Fugate, Former Head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency
The measure is based on the reputation of Waffle House for having good disaster preparedness and staying open during extreme weather, or reopening quickly afterwards.
Before I retired we used the Waffle House situational awareness. One of my officer’s wife worked at WH and she linked us up with a senior WH leader who spoke to my BDE staff reference WH disaster preparedness. One statement that stuck with me was that typical WH does not know where the keys to lock doors as they are never closed
