It's interesting, the article discusses that the request is for a relatively short period of time (35 minutes) - however for a popular website that could still be thousands of viewers. It suggests that there's something they'

This is interesting, particularly in light of skissane comments about melatonin being prescription only. Here in Australia, you can buy Asthma Inhalers "over the counter" (no prespcription) from pharmacies (Salbutamol). They somet

It's interesting that the notes regarding transmission efficiency are not present in the similar speach given on the 4th of March (as opposed to the article link, which is the 3rd of March). I'm not sure what to make of it. It m

This makes me think of an interesting point around the potential virus outbreak in the US. If there is a non-trivial outbreak, then could it effectively be (for the US), not just a mass virus management exercise - but be followed by a mass-

That sounds like an excellent approach. If a consumer chooses "always 200 on error", how do you return the API response status? HTTP Response Header or in a custom value in the response body?
