Thought of the Day - August 17 - COVID Self-Test

A new and easy self-test for the horror of COVID-19 is doing the rounds and it's simple, quick and positive (or negative if you see what I mean). Take a glass and pour a decent dram of your favourite whisky into it; then see if you can smell it.  If you can, then you are halfway there. Then drink it. If you can taste it then it is reasonable to assume you are currently free of the virus because the loss of the sense of smell and taste is a common symptom. I tested myself seven times last night and was virus-free every time thank goodness. I will have to test myself again today because I have developed a throbbing headache which can also be one of the symptoms. I'll report my results later.

Cheers

P.S. Just in case you have no whiskey to hand, I understand rum also works - but you should stay away from vodka as tests seems to be much less conclusive.
