I would look into China's experience for guidance. I know the costs would be monumental, so it's not an easy decision, and would not like to be in her shoes right now. But if the alternative is what Merkel suggests...

Hi. My wife was diagnosed about 6 years ago. We live in Argentina and we lived 1 year in the USA in the middle. She was totally asymptomatic, and was tested because she has hypothyroidism and it seems it's pretty common that both cond

Hey dev! I had fun playing for a while today, and I saw several players of old playing! And even enjoyed a CTF match =) It was a very nice and nostalgic day!
