Lol, "Touch my screen and I'll tell you whether you have Kung Flu"....
"...You now have Kung Flu!"
What kind of fucking moron would do that, one of the major transmission vectors for Coronavirus is surface contamination.

'The robot with a friendly face rolled into Times Square on Monday to help provide information about the new virus. '
'Curious passersby stopped, filled out a short questionnaire on an iPad-like touch screen attached to the robot’s chest, and even had a conversation with the machine. '
'NEW YORK (Reuters) - Worried about the spread of coronavirus?'
'Others were not so easily impressed. “A bit mental,” said Thomas McAlinden from Scotland. “But sums up New York for me.”'
'But if they understand a few, simple things, for example, what symptoms coronavirus has, what they should do to prevent (it), everything will be fine and everyone will be happy.”The robot does not actually detect the virus. '
This has been an automated message.
