Coronavirus is a UK Patent Virus?

Coronavirus: Just A Nasty Dose of Flu?
How serious is the new coronavirus epidemic? A sense of anxiety is growing in Wuhan as the Chinese city goes into lockdown in an effort to control the spread of a new virus which has left 17 dead. The authorities … Continue reading
Imaginary Threats Everywhere
