And then there is everything else happening outside our atmosphere piling on.
6-Foot Rule Does Little To Prevent COVID-19 Exposure
There were a lot of rules introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic that originated during late 2019 in Wuhan, China. Some were pretty Draconian. China welded the homes of people shut and destroyed 16,000 coronavirus samples at the world's largest coronavirus lab nearby. Some were pointless, like everyone carrying Clorox wipes around. Most were less intrusive and at least somewhat helpful; wear a mask, stay six feet apart.Should The Biden Administration Ban Menthol Cigarettes To Protect Black Americans?
