…that may block the virus. I think it’s incorrect to call hydroxychloriquine “failed,” though. A lot of doctors continue to swear by it. The opposition to its use was almost totally political, not medical.

The Lockdowns
…are probably killing more people than the virus is.
This doesn’t surprise me at all.
[Tuesday-morning update]
Four life-threatening consequences of the lockdown.
“Junk” DNA
It may not be as junky as was previously thought.
A New Virus Clue
We’ve know this for a while, but this is clearly a vascular, not a respiratory disease.

Public ignorance about the virus is nothing short of stunning.
Herd Immunity From T-Cells
A pre-print on it. It looks encouraging.

Baby, please come back.
This virus has been like a wildfire, sweeping through education, academia, and blue cities.
