Broad strokes paint outside the lines. For a large portion of the population, COVID isn’t a death sentence. I had COVID not long ago and it was like every other flu I’ve ever had—aches, lethargy, over in 3 days. I didn’t even know it was CO

For every 100 obese individuals in the United States, you’re likely to find fewer than 1 on average that is caused by an autoimmune disease. I’m also very familiar with ulcerative colitis. When not counteracted with the correct medication,

The Afghan military surrendered over a week ago. While we were still in a position to decommission equipment, instead it was left behind to the Taliban. Also curious on your hot take of this—the unusually effective suicide bombings that t
