I'll take it.

Like a 7 out of 10.

Whoa.

Honestly, like my baseline for life is like a five.

I also think of it as almost refrigerator magnet.

It's like anytime something like this happens, it's just like, well, we'll grab ivermectin and COVID and vaccine and we'll just jumble it up in some combination that sounds scary and bad.

And then we'll sell people pills to make sure that they are fortified against whatever the thing is that's also a fake thing.

But you still need to buy this thing to protect yourself.

I don't understand how people can sort of

live that way on the... Like, people who are clearly huckstering this, right?

I think there's, like, a class of people who are opportunists who, you know, foment this in order to sell supplements.

I believe it's the rate of transmission related to that.

I do think people should read this story because the details are fascinating too.

It was a real team effort.

They didn't just do it in a vacuum.

They reached out to someone at this lab who they knew had the right kind of whatever.

I'm not a scientist, but it was a coordination among three or four different labs that each of which had an element that would be able to contribute to making this test happen.
