And thus was born club owner Shon Boulden’s newest business: Boober Eats.

The whole story is well worth reading -- it's like a plot summary of what part of The Stand might have been like, had King decided to have patient zero of the pandemic that wipes out the whole world, just about, end up at a posh party in New England, rather than in a Texas gas station after fleeing the bioweapons lab.

Will the Global Response to the Coronavirus Give Climate a Nudge?

Scientists are looking at potential short- and long-term effects triggered by global response to the novel coronavirus.
