   In the interim, we are 100% prepared/protected in the "full armor of   
   GOD" (Ephesians 6:11) which we put on as soon as we use Apostle Paul's   
   secret (Philippians 4:12). Though masking is less protective, it helps   
   us avoid the appearance of doing the evil of spreading airborne   
   pathogens while there are people getting sick because of not being   
   100% protected. It is written that we're to "abstain from **all**   
   appearance of doing evil" (1 Thessalonians 5:22 w/**emphasis**).   
      
   Meanwhile, the only *perfect* (Matt 5:47-8 ) way to eradicate the   
   COVID-19 virus, thereby saving lives, in the US & elsewhere is by   
   rapidly (i.e. use the "Rapid COVID-19 Test" ) finding out at any given   
   moment, including even while on-line, who among us are unwittingly   
   contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to   
   "convince it forward" (John 15:12) for them to call their doctor and   
   self-quarantine per their doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic.   
   Thus, we're hoping for the best while preparing for the worse-case   
   scenario of the Alpha lineage mutations and others like the Omicron,   
   Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota, Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations   
   combining via slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids like "Deltamicron"   
   that may render current COVID vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no   
   longer effective.   
      
   Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry (   
   https://groups.google.com/g/sci.med.cardiology/c/6ZoE95d-VKc/m/14vVZoyOBgAJ   
   ) and hope you, Michael, also have a healthy appetite too.   
      
   So how are you ?
