COVID-19 is a Universal Disease. A one-size fits all. It can cause anything and everything, and perhaps nothing whatsoever, and whatnot. It can be prevented and cured by almost everything, and perhaps maybe anything, and maybe even something else, or nothing whatsoever.

COVID-19 is indeed the biggest danger the human race has ever faced.
It is incorrect that it can be prevented and cured by almost everything. The only known means of prevention are:
* vaccinations
* wearing masks
* obeying government health officials
* and complying with any other government requirements which may become necessary in the future
We must all do our part to prevent the spread of this terrible scourge upon white mankind.
