J, let me mention once more, one of the reasons this p******c is so concerning to the medical community is because it is all new..
It is not the Flu..
We do not seem to be as effective as some other countries, but it is not so much the delay.. more of a problem has been trump refusal to see what is happening in front of our eyes. and his..
Never before have we had this v***s.. no one knows how it will play out.. could recur in people as a second round. it could become as common as the winter colds each year.. it could leave after effects that harm the apparently cured patient..
