What are the odds?

Sir, –One of the most worrying traits of the virus has to be just how discerning it is. Apparently I am in serious danger if I am sitting in a coffee shop minding my own business yet I am perfectly safe if I hang around inside a bookies all day. I look forward to Nphet publishing the scientific evidence behind that thinking. – Yours, etc,
