Become a less attractive home for COVID-19 (and other sickness)
I think it’s safe to say that most of us don’t want to catch a bacterial or viral infection…and many people are understandably concerned about what would happen if they got sick (especially in the wake of the COVID-19 situation). But the interesting thing about bacteria and viruses is that not everyone is “fair game” to get sick. Some people seem to catch everything that’s going around, while others almost never get sick—even when...
Corona and other viruses—what you need to know
Currently, few topics outdo viruses in terms of instilling fear and panic in the general population.

I’m sharing this experience with you so I can hopefully open your eyes to the manipulation that is taking place with respect to the flu (and other illnesses), all in the interest of pushing pharmaceutical products.
