Just looking at the map of states where Covid-19 is the lowest, and comparing that to the states where there is no Trader Joe’s store, this seems obvious to me. It seems far safer to live in a state that does not have a Trader Joes (even though I would personally love to have one!), than to live in a state that has one or more. If there were one where I live, I would almost certainly have gotten it by now.

But so far, I seem to be the only one who has figured this out. And no independent, scientific, peer reviewed trial has yet been conducted.

Amid all the conjecture about the corona virus, I enjoyed this post. My best laugh of the day.
