National Security

Hello,

Currently I am taking an anti terrorism centered degree but couldn't help to think that the real security issue for the United States is the government and companies. It takes more effort to realize that a person's thinking can be wrong and have negative effects. Political corruption has more impact on the security of a nation then terrorism. The United States isn't defined by the government but by the people.... more »

Test to find out if mosquitoes, ticks, and other biting insects can transmit Covid 19.

If it is found to be transmittable in this fashion a further lockdown may be required along with possible pest management in high population areas.

I performed a fit test, and I was able to create a sufficient seal using just a diaper (and the included velcro straps).
