Where Is The Data Behind Slim Europeans & People Traveling There?:
A couple days ago, Sam Parr of The Hustle, My First Million, and Hampton asked about The French Paradox on Twitter.

Now that we have two coronavirus vaccines, and possibly a third if AstraZeneca can get their data straight,

You’d think that the worst is now behind us, and that we can all relax.

But that’s just not true because carriers are still spreading the disease.

Or even people who have mild symptoms they don’t recognize and then turn into non-ironic “Karen”-style reviews of scented-candles!

Successive Waves Of Coronavirus May Be Coming:

And the upcoming spectre of those restrictions being eased, even at the pace of the White House plan,

That temporary relief could actually create a greater problem.

Many scientists have opined on the dangers of ending lockdowns too soon.

And 100 years ago, our country had almost the same exact problem…
