| #4 Since the China-C19 is acting like a Flu strain, in that it started in Oct/Nov 2019, peaks and dies down as it got warmer. Then resurfaces in colder months. Shouldn't we reset the numbers like the CDC does every year for the FLU seasons? Like ending the Oct/Nov 2019- May 2020 C-19 Flu season and start using Oct. 2020 to May 2021 as the next C19 Season? Otherwise to be fair we could cite the C-19 counting process and truthfully say the Flu kills MILLIONS world wide and infected 500 plus Million. Per the CDC Website: "While seasonal influenza (flu) viruses are detected year-round in the United States, flu viruses are most common during the fall and winter. The exact timing and duration of flu seasons can vary, but influenza activity often begins to increase in October. Most of the time flu activity peaks between December and February, although activity can last as late as May." The C-19 started in Nov. 2019 Peaked on April 18th, 2020 and started building again (we are told) in Late Oct. 2020 Just like a FLU. |

| #1 Long read but interesting B. I think they're on the right track. Genetics controls everything we just don't know all the triggers yet. Junk DNA? Yeah..nature always propagates useless stuff.. Hubris on our part to call it junk. And seriously..the guys last name is Bastard!?! Is his nickname "Fat"? |
