Entering the Fourth Covid Wave The B.1.1.7 Strain Is Now Dominant, Affecting Children and a Diminished Vaccine Efficacy. Dr. Michael’s Covid-19 update for April 10, 2021.

Infections Rates Have Stopped Declining New cases are no longer decreasing and have stalled at the current rate. This rate is about the same as what we saw during the second “surge” last June.

Vitamin D To Prevent Severe Covid-19 Infections.
At the beginning of March, I said that the most important supplement to take in order to resist a Covid-19 infection or reduce the severity of one is Vitamin D.

Dr. Michael’s Covid-19 Update for August 7
Unfortunately, we are still living in a pandemic. Fortunately, fewer infected people are dying now than in the spring.
