But first, and this is important, you can get tested for symptoms of coronavirus.  It takes a few days, but at least you’ll know.  Just send a stool sample to the White House.

Wheeler (in 1891), and his diagram clearly shows the flap of the paper coming down in the front.  That should settle that argument.
