Anyone up for the latest and greatest daily cholesterol med, that conveniently just replaced the last one that lost its patent protection? Or how about a $300 epi pen for your diabetes? Meanwhile, one of the most pressing global health concerns is the development of next gen antibiotics, yet the sound you hear from our pharma giants' research labs on this front is nothing but crickets chirping.

And let's not forget the corn lobby and their high fructose corn syrup whose wholesale substitution (on the foundation of taxpayer subsidies) for cane and beet sugar just happens to coincide perfectly with the rise of Type 2 diabetes in America.

Yep, exactly what I was referring to. Again didn't want to get too far off topic but just wanted to point out that the #1 correlation to virus outbreaks appears to be the health of the population and being healthier would have dramatic benefits for all types of common disease in the US.
