Same, except my stereo has a 3.5mm in. I have several pairs of Bluetooth headphones but still use the 3.5mm jack on my SE all the time, and I use a 3.5mm lightning adapter with my iPad Pro.

There’s a mix there, AFAIK there’s no reason to believe the virus is a bioweapon. On the other hand the fact that they were researching bat coronaviruses in the lab in the city where the outbreak began certainly is suggestive of a possible

The advice (CDC/WHO) usually did include a statement that someone who was sick should wear a mask. Of course it doesn’t make sense to tell people not to buy a box of masks if they aren’t sick because then how do you get a mask when you
