    Actually, I should more correctly say, a link to another good post.  I like the Erratic Engineeress’ blog and I like her no-nonsense, common-sense approach to the Corona Virus concern.  She’s written another post that has many links to actual scientific data.  It’s called UNDERSTANDING COVID-19: RELEVANT LITERATURE.

    I wrote the original piece in ’05 when the thing happened. I found the re-post I did in ’08. When I saw the title in the archives I re-read and recalled the whole sad, sickening thing. My question is still valid. Why isn’t alcohol a prescription drug? Why do I…
