I think China has behaved pretty badly, between covering up at the onset, probably underreporting covid-19 deaths by an order of magnitude or more, and publishing and self-publishing ("pre-print") useless/dangerous/misleading research reports. But WHO has been if anything less gullible than the rest of us. I think this article has it pretty right: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/15/opinion/coronavirus-trump-world-health-organization-who.html?Susan Levenstein, MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04664082134917253721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211405954943098401.post-13320176751068977092020-04-17T00:03:52.909+02:002020-04-17T00:03:52.909+02:00If Alitalia is starting a new nonstop between San ...If Alitalia is starting a new nonstop between San Francisco and Rome on June 1st - as you'll see from my latest blog post, my husband and I will be on it - maybe they'll be restarting other flights too.

I need to return to Oregon at some point, but find the logistics daunting, and the thought of close quarters in a plane terrifying.

First I have to emphasize that I am a non-specialist without medical education still thinking that those clinical trials might be useful in order to increase resistance against COVID-19 in the near future - especially among the risk groups and within the medical staff.<br /><br />My friends with medical background have told me that it is not easy to get allowance for such clinical trials, but I anyhow with crossed fingers go on trying to find institutes and scientists all around the world who might be interested in implementing those tests asap.<br /><br />By the way nitrite is produced also in the salivary glands so maybe chewing gum will rescue our planet :)Petri Pellinenhttp://www.auranet.fi/coronavirusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211405954943098401.post-76770739441369773612020-04-14T23:05:08.605+02:002020-04-14T23:05:08.605+02:00Dear Dr. Pellinen, thank you for the kind words ab...Dear Dr. Pellinen, thank you for the kind words about my blog.
