  - Hyatt emailed us about various stuff related to the virus too. -- nm - oblique Mar 10, 09:29
  - Yep, I got that one too. I mean, it makes sense for them, because it's hitting their bottom line. Not so sure about a CC company (seen on B2) -- nm* - Beryllium Mar 10, 09:29
- I have an advertiser wanting to target people reading about Coronavirus. -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 10, 09:25 2
