Regina J. Silver-Lining
I appreciate that a Silver-Lining for my mind (this physiology and anatomy summa-cum-laude graduate , double Ph.D., double licensed and umpteen certificate-monster) ...is: I get to pay attention to things I almost forgot! But thanks to Michael Mendizza of the TouchTheFuture blog (ttfuture.org), who diligently digs up the BEST information, here is a lovely quote for anyone who is afraid of viruses. And just think of it: we would have never known but for this time of confusion. Thank you, 2020!
"Current estimates: we have 1031 viruses in the air around us. This is 10 million times more than all the stars in the known universe. And these are just the viruses in the air. To this, we need to add 1031 viruses in ocean water and 1030 viruses in the soil. The human body is home to 36 trillion viruses, including Corona, and 38 trillion bacteria. Viruses are so small that they float in the stratosphere, raining down on every inch of the earth’s surface every day. We are swimming in an ocean of genomic information."
