alleviated with very drastic dietary measures and i went to a number of doctors to discuss what happened to me and i was basically laughed at like diet has nothing to do with mean disorders so my suggestion to people who have health issues they can't figure out if they're going to see a medical professional and they've been going for 10 years and they're still on the same place they should probably take it upon themselves to start testing things out testing out diet testing out exercise and try and figure out things on their own. let's start with a moan usual side these days and one of europe's hardest hit countries for coronavirus it's an open market in the italian couple which is open for business despite weeks of intense national locked customers cannot brose the stoles so long

their former pentagon michael maloof told us about the unique dangers posed that when there's an ice break on a military vessel. it's very very difficult on a warship like that unlike a cruise a cruise ship which also was infected on an aircraft carrier a destroyer or submarine you don't have the luxury of individual compartments except maybe for the tap them because they do what they because they're on 247 duty they do what they call hot other words that someone who's on duty gives up his bed and someone else sleep senate i mean is that closely confide and as a consequence the ability to spread the disease such as this particularly if you're in the open ocean is very very very high and people are going up and down the ladders holding the same areas constantly and to keep those areas germ
