Always put my money (I guess body now) where my mouth is.
HMU to negotiate exact terms. Let's do it!
According to Matt’s words, the threat of coronavirus is overstated. The escalation of situation related to disease does more harm than the disease itself. For comparison, Matt stated that he would never agree to become infected with Ebola virus under no circumstances.
