My hubby wasn’t that overweight, but I was at my heaviest. My BMI is 26 now and A1C is good. I didn’t do keto like my husband, but I did low carb.

SPAIN

The Government authorizes the Armed Forces to disinfect with aerial means

Health considers it to be one of “the most effective techniques because all surfaces are reached quickly”

Comment: I’ve seen this movie before

I don't know. What I read was B&D hired the top 3 electrical engineers from Dewalt. B&D then gave autonomy to design and develop all of the different battery operated yard products.

I just checked. Problem. Made in China. No reason this can't be manufactured in the US.

Funny. When I pick something up that is made in China now, I can't think of anything but disease and need to wash my hands.

I'm game for products made in the USA. I have the B&D 10" 20Volt chainsaw. Am looking for a 12" now. Shame. The 10" worked great for clearing a dropped tree and cutting smaller diameter firewood. It was the first chainsaw that didn't leave an oil mess after use or in storage.

Sad. I was not surprised by the picture.

That may all be true, but how did the Cvirus gain segments of the HIV virus?

They shared similarities from the start. This is a paper from Sept 2003 right after the first SARS virus burned out. Covid-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Cloaked similarity between HIV-1 and SARS-CoV suggests an anti-SARS strategy

How did it gain spike proteins that unlock two types of human cells while existing in animals?

You can read about that here:

The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2

(Translation) Video recorded at João Lúcio state hospital, in Manaus, shows corridors and rooms with bodies waiting for removal alongside patients and stretchers on the floor. The capital is the only city with an ICU in Amazonas, the state with the highest incidence rate of the new coronavirus in the country.

My BMI hovers in the high 20’s. I need to lose about 30lbs. If only we hadn’t played Resident Evil this spring with the resulting stress eating...
