RE covid lab leak GOP theory

I think we need to be looking months earlier. A client of mine was in Wuhan September 2019, and returned to Seattle early October , very sick. His dr said “he didnt have The Flu, but some kind of weird flu.” Sick for 30 days, fever chills, wicked sore throat. I picked up a slight cough that lasted for two months.

Podcast name

In my opinion, Laura Coats should have her name on show. I listen to many podcast and because she has become my favorite, I know the podcast I need to select to hear her, many do not. I think CNN would benefit if they saw her face and name on a podcast.
