    Name a country with over 200 confirmed cases of COVID-19
    Name a mexican beer (Corona = 0)
    Name a computer virus

    Question 2: Name a country with over 200 confirmed cases of COVID-19

    29 choices here - though theoretically you could have gone for Craggy Island as there are no wrong answers in sheep

    China sheeps whilst our European epicentre is 6 points behind.

    The UK linger at the bottom, much like the actions of their government thus far.
