Speaking of cows, if you get to the grocery, but the 2-quart size of half&half instead of a gallon of milk. It has a shelf life 3x that of milk, and you can get a milk substitute by adding 50-50 with purified water.

Fascinating article. Perhaps the research into the inflammatory response system might be a key source of effective vaccines.
Of course the article points out that our unfortunate propensity to populate every square foot of our planet might get more scrutiny.

Perhaps viruses are simply mama nature’s way of pushing back and creating a more sustainable equilibrium?

If one really wants to cut to the ultimate chase, human accomplishments are really just two kinds.
We have made ourselves more comfortable than living in the wild, at a great cost to the environment and fellow fauna.
We have come close to perfection in the ability to kill those fellow humans we disagree with and animals that look good over the mantle.
Because of these two “great strides”, we may find that Mama Nature is going to clamp down and remind us who is boss. Smart money has seen this for decades. Plain money just calls these predictions “fake news”.
That clampdown could very well be an “inventory reduction”.
Just sayin’.
