[time-nuts] Fake new LPRO 101 Rb's on Ebay?

[Taka Kamiya]

I am suspending purchases directly from China for now.  The whole country is in chaos, according to our media.  Their resources are strained.  Too many chances for something going wrong - ignored, lost, delayed, damaged, etc, etc, etc.

Very few vira can survive 14 days, and for all we know at present
that time is sufficient to desinfect 2019-nCov, and to detect any
infections.

A few specialized infectious agents have the ability to produce
"spores" which can survive for *long* periods of time, and then
revive on contact with humidity.  The best known example is Anthrax.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
