Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Should not have been tested. The rate of positivity goes down the less people get tested. AIR?

Not being up to date on the current rates for hookers - cheap or otherwise - I don’t have a way to judge whether your advice is a good value or not.
