      Has any study been done as to why we are having this High recovery rate,,,,, Is it a fact that the virus cannot survive the warm temperatures. .I heard a doctor said that smokers are the lowest risk because of the heat that keeps the nostril track warm, Smoking marijuana is Even notes effective along with the heat marijuana has anti inflammatory elements, the doctor want on to say that to promote this method as effective as it is will be seen as promoting smoking,,,, Also it's going against the grain of billionaire investors who invented in Vaccine research and stock and is hoping for Big returns,,,,, These are the News you lucky to hear once,, Then the media get big money to kill those theory and story,,,,,,, Our leaders need to seek the truth and Stop holding on to what they are told,, the truth is out there, seek it. For your people sake,,,

    Good question, Truth be told she did not die of covid.Doctors are paid all around the world to put covid as means of death on the death certificates for a fee.(secret) Some of the doctors are against it and it speaking out but the media is not showing it.Ask yourself a question, if covid was so deadly, why none of the people in the house with her did not get it including her spouse? Do some deep research of what happened to her before she died.

      Yep I’m aware she didn’t die from it and that doctors are getting paid and some speaking against it.

      I’ve heard in Trinidad and Tobago once u hospitalized and u die they alert your relatives then cremates u without any autopsy and all of the deaths the persons had other illnesses which could’ve been the cause of death.
