Just so. No effective curing or drugs for COVID exist so far. Proper diet is the best to maintain your immune system fit. And eating pork bacon in plenty is the superior diet to any others.[size=+1]If the flu is treated, it passes in 7 days, and if not treated-in a week[/size]
SALT-CURED PORK TO MAINTAIN YOUR VITALITY. RUSSIANS AND GERMANS PROVED IT TO THE FULL.

Be happy.
PREDICT was a program established initially in the US in which American scientists collaborated with foreign labs to identify viruses with the potential to become pandemics. The program trained scientists around the world to accomplish that, and had identified 160 new novel coronaviruses before shutting down just before this one, SARS-CoV-2, emerged. The Wuhan Institute of Virology, the lab that ultimately did catch the emergence of COVID-19, was part of the PREDICT program.
PREDICT was launched in 2009 and funded through two five-year cycles before the Trump administration defunded it just in time for the exact scenario it was supposed to catch. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/25/health/predict-usaid-viruses.html
I am not sure I fully trust articles written in the midst of the current crisis by a source with a clear bias, but an article written months before the pandemic is exactly the kind of thing that shows what we are dealing with.
Except for one thing Next Level. The article New York Times article I posted a link to was written on Oct. 25, 2019!!!!! This is before anyone knew that the SARS-CoV-2 virus existed. Before this crisis (although there is recent genetic evidence suggesting it had probably jumped into humans before that). It is a documented fact that the Trump administration killed this and other programs related to pandemic preparedness, and it is a documented fact that the National Security Council had produced a playbook for dealing with pandemics in 2016 (it is now circulating on the internet) and that absolutely none of it was followed, even though the potential of this to cause a disaster was apparent by the first week of January at the latest.

In addition:
- In 2018, Donald Trump dismantled the National Security Council's global health section, which was supposed to fight pandemics.
- Under Trump, the Department of Homeland Security stopped running pandemic simulations for preparedness.
- Also last fall, White House economists warned of the economic effects of a pandemic.
- The Trump administration inherited a pandemic playbook from the Obama administration, which drew on the lessons of Ebola and H1N1.
- And the Obama administration tried to prepare the Trump administration with a pandemic response exercise during the transition.
“The Japanese Government’s decision to not test broadly makes it difficult to accurately assess the COVID-19 prevalence rate,” the Embassy said on its website, referring to the illness caused by the virus.
“While we have confidence in Japan’s health care system today, we believe a significant increase in COVID-19 cases makes it difficult to predict how the system will be functioning in the coming weeks.”
If U.S. citizens wanted to return to the United States from Japan they should do so now, or risk remaining abroad for an “indefinite period”, it said.
The United States diverted a delivery of Chinese-made face masks bound for Germany at a Bangkok airport, a Berlin city official said Friday, accusing Washington of "modern-day piracy" as competition for protective gear against the coronavirus heats up.

French officials have also complained this week that Americans had swooped on Chinese masks ordered by France, after apparently outbidding them on a shipment that had already been lined up.
MAGA!
