Still mulling Ivermectin? Before embarking on
any self-help regime, get the basic facts. For example, the difference between what’s bacteria and what’s virus is not inconsequential. Bacteria and viruses can live outside of the human body (for instance, on a countertop) sometimes for many hours or days. Parasites and bacteria, however, require a living host in order to survive, and both can usually be destroyed with antibiotics. Antibiotics
cannot kill viruses. Coronavirus is, yes, a virus.
Ivermectin kills parasites/bacteria. Moreover,
“scientific” reports on Ivermectin show that not all science is worth following. How do you know what to believe? Keep an open mind, conduct research with discrimination, and practice discernment. These days, be skeptical.

Inevitably, tens of millions of filthy, used medical gloves imported into the US:
Trash bags stuffed full of used medical gloves, some visibly soiled, some even blood-stained, litter the floor of a warehouse on the outskirts of Bangkok.
But don’t only blame Bangkok. We in America do an excellent job of pretending discarded PPE miraculously disappear. We
burn it . Or
pretend we don’t know it’s there . Or
“recycle” it ...
What so you so with your discarded PPE? What you do matters, too.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch…
Apres le deluge… Call it a bomb cyclone, an atmospheric river, or a

drought-stricken and wildfire-ravaged California and even breaking some all-time 24-hour precipitation records >>
In my neighborhood, old oak and sycamore trees lining walkways near my apartment block my direct view of the park and beach. I donned my colorful polka dot gumboots and took to the pathways for a firsthand look.
