Coronavirus Invades Saudi Inner Sanctum

h/t Instapundit
[NYTimes] The senior Saudi prince who is governor of Riyadh is in intensive care with the coronavirus. Several dozen other members of the royal family have been sickened as well. And doctors at the elite hospital that treats Al-Saud clan members are preparing as many as 500 beds for an expected influx of other royals and those closest to them, according to an internal "high alert" sent out by hospital officials.

"Directives are to be ready for V.I.P.s from around the country," the operators of the elite facility, the King Faisal Specialist Hospital, wrote in the alert, sent electronically Tuesday night to senior doctors.

#1 Do the Sunni have a statue they can lick to cure the virus? It'd be awkward trying to get access to the Iranian statue.

#3 Lick Omar? Whew...that's one of those "is the cure worse than the symptoms". Hideous thought, LOL.
