Hey Carlos... being in Ciudad de México, and at more risk than most (damaged immune system, over 60, blah, blah), I notice one antiviral that (at least is reported to be) effective is the Cuban-Chinese recombinant Interferón alfa 2B (IFNrec)... for political reasons, not available in the US. Hopefully, IMSS is stocking up (I just did my annual renovacion this AM).

You're just being mean now. Because that's my favorite song! Also, I think you should come back and explain where consciousness comes from.

Wondered where you'd gone, man. This is good stuff, and when people ask (they'll ask, I'm Mr Know-It_all around here) I can give them Real Facts.
