While the Western world now takes on a viral pandemic, the news‐cycle and constant reminders to wash your hands and avoid touching your face might drive anyone to reach in the fridge for a beer. It is “Corona time,” but unfortunately it is the virus of which we speak. At the time of this writing (early March 2020), there are many more questions than answers. It is clear that the virus is at least as transmissible as influenza, and it is likely that little or no pre‐existing immunity exists within the world's population.
