How many Americans in a lifetime need deworming pills?

How many Americans in a lifetime need deworming pills?

Indeed.

I decided to try to find out what this progressive paragon of medical practice was doing today. Was she in Italy trying to save her patients? Had she already died heroically doing just that, and I was being unfair to her? Nope. Skedaddled out of Italy the first week of March to go to conferences in the US. And now, oh golly, she is stuck in the US and can’t get back to Italy, where the health care is so much better than here:

And I think she is 70.

Well, if France is treating this as war, I expect to see Corona viruses marching through the streets of Paris in a matter of weeks.

I think she is 70 as well. I think she is also a progressive with tremendous faith in the wonderful Italian health system. But decided it was a lot better to attend conferences in the US than to stick around Italy.
