The ancient yeast works fine, only Lilli is impatient
and won't wait long enough. But the gray market guy
did have pounds of SAF instant for the same price as
the Internet, so she picked one up.

Those are maximum numbers, and they're guesstimates,
and as far as I've read nobody has done viability
studies on the residue. Just because there are a few
virus particles doesn't mean that they are active
enough to infect or that there are enough of them to
be troublesome unless someone spits directly on the
surface.

I always found orthodoxy of any sort, big or little
O, to be akin to OCD.

They say that if you mix rubbing with aloe gel, with
just a little more alcohol, you get something effective
as a virucide. But even if it's too weak for that, there
has to be a percentage that is virustatic (I'd guess
something like half strength).

Certainly worse than the 99. The others were in the
same league - won't kill you except if you have high
blood pressure and will do only modest damage to your
taste buds.

Some people in town are doing that, but Lilli,
though if she thought about it might be suitably
civic-minded, is too scared to risk that much
contact with other people.

What good does that do, your mind wanders anyway,
doesn't it?
