If you’re interested in a crash course from the beginning in chronic issues with COVID I recommend this excellent interview with David Putrino. Perhaps the least well understood consequence is the damage every infection likely causes everyone, symptomatic or not. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Today is the International Day to combat Islamophobia. There is no place for Islamophobia. Not here. Not anywhere.
