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.
