Air Pollution, Biodiesel,



         Glyphosate and Covid-19






          By Stephanie Seneff, PhD







                                    ARS coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caught the

                                    world  by  surprise,  with  a  resulting  pandemic  of
                           Sthe new disease Covid-19 sweeping the world and
                           inducing a global economic collapse. The origin of this

                           virus is unclear, but the disease Covid-19 was first recog-

                           nized in Wuhan, China, an industrial city sprawling along
                           the banks of the Yangtze River. Whether the disease Covid-
                           19 is even caused by the virus—and whether the virus even

                           exists as a separate entity—are topics for debate. Further

                           science may eventually answer these open questions.
                             The disease affects different people in widely disparate degrees, with
                           some of those with a diagnosed infection not even noticing that they are
                           sick, while others succumb to pulmonary failure or acute sepsis with mul-
                           tiple  organ  failure.  Furthermore,  some  people  with  overt  symptoms  of
                           Covid-19 test negative for the virus. The disease also seems to affect some
                           countries much less than others. As reported by CNN on April 3, Iceland
                           took the initiative to test a large segment of the population regardless of
                           whether they showed symptoms. After testing nearly 5 percent of the popu-
                           lation, they identified some three hundred people who tested positive. Half
                           of them had no symptoms.  As of May 6, 2020, only ten people in Iceland
                                                         1
                           had died from Covid-19.
