?My relatives who lived to ancient ages must all have survived the Spanish flu in their day and it lasted two years. This is no different except more technology to help this time.
Did you see a Brisbane based company in Qld has developed a home kit Corona Virus test. Won contract worth $302m - the kits will be going to US first as they put in $30m towards development. The kit has an iPhone app that instructs people what to do and what test means. Brilliant stuff! Jude |
