Do you live in an apartment or stay in hotels? Got a "oops, outside air can get you" study. Coming out of Beijing University of Technology - taking airborne transmission seriously. They rented 50 rooms of a building. Did some very cool CFD work - then, be still my heart,

Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong Issues Urgent Warning: COVID-19 is Not Just a Respiratory Virus—It’s Like cancer "This virus has beaten us." In a chilling revelation, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong—renowned surgeon, scientist, and billionaire biotech pioneer—warns that COVID-19 is far more

The virus which caused the worst pandemic in a hundred years lists 'significantly accelerated brain ageing' among its myriad of negative effects. I don't understand why it is now fine to get it repeatedly. Can someone please explain?
