Been there and yes. Horrid, filthy and near third-world conditions.
See https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g42471-d4635808-r496682248-KFC-Milan_Michigan.html
And yes, I left one of these reviews.
Yep. Daily.
Does it matter if its inside or outside? Will keeping inside temp high help?
He is funny.
And a humidifier.
You know I always like hot showers when I get a bad head cold.. Always felt better after the shower.
You might find this map interesting to follow...I find it keeps up very well and the enlarged areas as they increase. Scroll just a little bit....

I’ve heard a report that this virus can survive on a surface for up to 9 days. Can anyone confirm that?
Behind their paywall, no thanks.
Are droplets expelled just from breathing and talking?
WHO says: It is not certain how long the virus that causes COVID-19 survives on surfaces, but it seems to behave like other coronaviruses. Studies suggest that coronaviruses (including preliminary information on the COVID-19 virus) may persist on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days. This may vary under different conditions (e.g. type of surface, temperature or humidity of the environment).
If you think a surface may be infected, clean it with simple disinfectant to kill the virus and protect yourself and others. Clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water. Avoid touching your eyes, mouth, or nose.
Travis, I am definitely with you on this. Im not in panic mode or anything but the way the cases are evolving quickly and the panic buying that has already ensued will make the next several weeks rough. My kids schools are likely shutting down and our store shelves are empty. The damage has already been done and I feel its going to get worse.
What I haven’t seen a lot of in this thread is the media factor. And it’s a big one.
“Concern” doesn’t sell papers and boost ratings. “Crisis” does.
“Caution” doesn’t sell papers and boost ratings. “Fear” does.
The media only inflames the situation, because that’s what they do.
Remember the quote attributed to William Randolph Hearst: “You furnish the pictures. I’ll furnish the war.” That attitude has never changed, it’s just gone international, around the clock, and digital.
Math is hard. Panic is easy.
Follow the money.
There’s no paywall for this map.
Narses thinks that Milan is a third-world shithole, that’s why their cases are exploding.
