Is misinformation deadlier than the virus?
Lurking in the shadows, it creeps in. Spreading itself across the world. Creeping into all recesses of human civilization, like a slug oozing slime as it moves slowly and surely. A microscopic, spikey ball of evil engineered for killing. Attacking its prey without warning. Attaching itself, drawing lifeblood for its existence. A parasite of sorts,Read more …Is misinformation deadlier than the virus? originally appeared inKevinMD.com. (Source: Kevin, M.D. - Medical Weblog)

A pregnant mother dies of COVID
In this small town I live in, a funeral procession is a big deal. The hearse is followed by several black cars turning into an array of family and friends cars.
