Excerpt: "Researchers in Québec are hopeful that a drug derived from plants could be the key to curing infections caused by the novel coronavirus.

The broad spectrum anti-viral medicine known as quercetin has already proven successful at treating Ebola and Zika viruses, says Dr. Michel Chrétien, a researcher at the Clinical Research Institute of Montreal."

Rin's response: Hey, fucking idiot writer, it's not a DRUG, it's a flavonol from the flavonoid group of polyphenols. Here's something for you and your stupid editing team to read ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quercetin ). This is not a DRUG, it's a food supplement or vitamin, which is not patentable as a drug where one needs to synthesize (yes, that's a term used in the field of chemistry) in a lab and scaled up in a factory.

Excerpt: "Some patients infected with COVID-19 are currently being treated with a variety of anti-viral drugs, some with a price tag upwards of $1,000 per injection, Mbikay says. Quercetin, by comparison, would cost just $2 per day."

Rin's response: What are you shopping for? ... some Lamborghini brand of a vitamin! Try more like 20 to 40 cents per day ( https://www.amazon.com/Quercetin-Powerfully-Cardiovascular-Bioflavonoids-Celllular/dp/B07H9LGDPM/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=quercetin&qid=1601765848&sr=8-6 )

The Rin Pill is already here!

Yeah, let's just hope that their test subjects are into seaweed and oysters.

What's become painfully obvious is that the Covid crisis did not result in a Dream Team, as in the 1992 US Men's Olympic basketball team's response in Barcelona.

Instead of the following:

You literally described every Covid, global warming, etc article out there.

FYI, for those who don't remember (or see the the gif clearly), that was a behind-the-back pass from Michael Jordan to Larry Bird, from half-court, for a corner 3.
