I got to thinking and I suspect the WuHan virus is pretty much over with. The next one will be different and probably pretty soon, this year maybe, and won’t be susceptible to the various treatments that work with the WuHan stuff. We are at war and so far are losing it. Our whole system appears to be infused with the enemy. I went to the Indian source and sent for it. I fear it is ammo for a now obsolete gun.
I hope you are wrong.
