Thanks to China, Italy, and NYC, doctors have learned a lot about Covid 19. The new virus is the most recent and novel science event to affect millions of people across the world. In this podcast, MD Talk: Virus News and Clinical Treatment, Dr. Tim McFarland elaborates on some of the newest Covid 19 treatment discoveries.
Many of us are tired of hearing about Covid 19.
However, this new disease is here to stay. On social media and the daily news there is a constant barrage of information about Covid 19. Some of the details are misleading or at best, confusing. It is our hope that this podcast discussion will relieve some fears and also strengthen listeners resolve to stay the course to minimize Covid 19 cases in their community.
In our highly politicized climate, each new release of “Covid 19 information” seems to add fuel to the divisions between people.
An ancient story about some bulls and a lion illustrates a caution. The tale is credited to Aesop, a person, believed by many to be a former Greek slave who lived in the late mid-6th century BCE.
The narrative goes something like this….
Once upon a time, a lion made a daily trek to a field to watch three bulls graze. The view of a possible meal was irresistible. Early on, he had tried to attack them, but the bulls kept together and drove him off with their sharp horns and hoofs. He had little hope of eating them, but he came to drool over them anyway.
Then one day the lion came to the field and found the bulls in separate corners as far away from each other as possible. The bulls had had a fight. The lion seized his opportunity. The bulls became easy cat food when they stood apart.
The moral of the story seems to be this.
United we stand.
Divided we fall.
With Covid 19 or politics, if we don’t eventually and consistently pull together, then we are likely to become easy pickings for more “lion-like” disasters.
It is our hope and prayer that this does not happen to our country, or even our personal lives as we face our differences and foes, virus or otherwise.
Be encouraged as you listen to this MD Talk podcast about virus news and clinical treatment. Then, let’s work together to protect one another.
