Wuhan seems to be where this outbreak started. Now millions are quarantined. I've never seen a response like this ever. <br /><br />This might actually be bad, and I am not, nor ever have been, a germophobe.<br /><br />We will know in just a couple of days if it is contained.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01504517769804159508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-47114373976861880582020-01-24T08:27:27.456-05:002020-01-24T08:27:27.456-05:00Given the hysteria of "modern science," ...Given the hysteria of "modern science," a Priest is about as reliable as a scientist.Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672484450736725268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-1637483017136928122020-01-24T07:17:54.234-05:002020-01-24T07:17:54.234-05:00Scientists, in this case clinicians and epidemiolo...Scientists, in this case clinicians and epidemiologist, are the ones to explain it.<br /><br />Some priests do a good job referencing them.
