“I thought how lovely and how strange a river is. A river is a river, always there, and yet the water flowing through it is never the same water and is never still. It’s always changing and is always on the move. And over time the river itself changes too. It widens and deepens as it rubs and scours, gnaws and kneads, eats and bores its way through the land. Even the greatest rivers- the Nile and the Ganges, the Yangtze and the Mississippi, the Amazon and the great grey-green greasy Limpopo must have been no more than trickles and flickering streams before they grew into mighty rivers.“

So Dr. Fauci, what is YOUR plan for the early treatment of COVID-19?
Submitted by veganmark on Mon, 08/10/2020 - 11:10amIt’s evident that, unless antiviral measures initiated soon after COVID-19 becomes symptomatic succeed in slowing down spread of the virus, giving the immune response a chance to snuff it out, there is a very significant chance that in high risk patients it will spread throughout the lungs and trigger a massive immune attack that literally drowns the patient in his own inflammatory fluids – a death by slow drowning.
