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

[Clint Jay]

Actinic short wavelength UV light, the same stuff you use to erase EPROMs
or sterilise scissors, pond or aquarium water will do the job but, a little
perspective, there are 1.386 billion people in China and fewer than 21,000
confirmed cases of coronavirus, fewer than 500 deaths since the outbreak
began, thus far more people have died from seasonal flu today alone.

I leave the reader ( who will probably be far better with statistical
analysis than I) to calculate the chances of a person infected with the
virus coming into contact with a package, then you can work out the chances
of said virus surviving the time the journey takes.

I'm not going to bother sterilizing goods from China and won't be
panicking, instead I'll wash my hands and cough/sneeze into tissues.

The Chinese LPro look like a good deal but the Israeli ones have the
connector and a module which seems to break it out to a d-sub and SMA,
might make it worth the extra?
