Governments have actually tried to block early treatment of Covid patients, so we created a home patient guide. We broke through to the people, and the people who got sick with COVID called in to get medications from mail-order distribution pharmacies.

And to this day we treat about 25 percent of the US COVID-19 population that actually are at high risk, over age 50 with medical problems or present with severe symptoms.

In their seminal work, 'The History of Science and Technology', Bunch and Hellemans compile a list of the 8,583 most important innovations and inventions in the history of science and technology.

Huebner found that while the total number of innovations rose in the twentieth century, the number of innovations per capita peaked in the nineteenth century. A closer look at the innovations of the pre-1914 world lends support to Huebner's data.
