Although it was a Chinese tourist. Not to mean 'oh so it's not sad' obviously, but it doesn't say too much yet about the spread of Covid-19.

A good dose of common sense, since there's a whole bunch of corona viruses and this is simply not 'the corona virus'?

You don't think it added to their sales? 

It's a rather tasteless joke, but I've seen plenty drinking it just due to the virus.

I wouldn't really know. One of my friends described Corona as disgusting, and that's just about the closest I ever got to it.

Corona is very popular here in California. Probably the most popular Mexican beer, but I’m not a drinker, so I’m not sure.

Yeah, they are known to have massive product placement in the Fast & Furious franchise. I don't think having their name associated with deadly virus is very flattering.

I'm absolutely no fan of the beer myself. Not even for the warm summer days that they should be really great for.

But I've seen plenty of mentions of people drinking it by the Chinese embassies around the world.
