There’s a colossal storm approaching. I’m not talking about a hurricane, cyclone, or tornado. I’m talking about Covid-19.  With over 52 million confirmed cases and 1.3 million deaths worldwide, we have just seen the smallest inkling of the carnage that will occur over the next several months. As the weather turns cold in the northern hemisphere, people will be spending most of their time indoors, often in places with poor ventilation.

Covid-19 is a real puzzler. Its effects are all over the map from unnoticeable to death, along with every point in between.

The world is on fire with Covid-19 infections. We have never faced an enemy like the SARS-Cov-2 virus. The closest analog was the 1918 flu virus, but the world is much more tightly interconnected now and there is no place on Earth where you can go to hide from the virus. It has reached into the remotest corners of the planet. Most of the nations of the world are ill-equipped to combat the plague. Continue reading →

#299 – DR. FAUCI AT 79, IS AT HIGH RISK FOR COVID-19: WHAT DOES HE DO? – ALLEN TAYLOR

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases is the United States’ top expert on the Covid-19 pandemic. He is the voice of reason and solid, reliable science at a time when politicians and a cacophony of other voices are spreading confusion and outright misinformation. Supplements, herbs, and other nostrums are being promoted as preventatives, and a host of drugs are being tested as possible treatments. Some people are even talking about “cures,” although that is a mighty strong word for something whose long-term effects are, at this point, far from fully known or understood. Continue reading →
