I never got Malaria so at least it worked for that.
I am out and about just about everyday playing golf... Plus my wife is very active.. My Caddies at the different golf courses are exposed to who knows what so at my age I do not want nor do I have time for COVID-19..
I can not say enough how happy I am being away from the American medical establishment and their outlandish price gouging. Took a kid (8 year old girl) to a clinic last week for a sore throat... $6 for the visit and meds with no insurance.. Try that in the states and get back with me ...hahahah
I got charged $5500.00 for an hour and a half visit to the hospital (only a half hour of that in an actual exam room), and then wound up having to take care of the problem myself - they made a 1/4" incision, just an incision in the skin, no deeper, and NOTHING else, not even a stitch. Hell, I coulda cut myself if I'd just wanted to be slashed for nothing! Part of that cost was $32.00 for A gauze pad. One. I stopped at a store and bought a whole damned box of them for my self-treatment, and only paid $4.00 for the whole box.
They charged me $280.00 just to have a suture tray in the room, no sutures installed, just a suture tray in the same room with me. I've thrown my own stitches in my own one and only body a couple of times for a lot less than that, with actual stitches put in!
It took me 4 days to treat and heal from it, but I fixed it myself, for a lot less money.... but the bastards still charged me for their "treatment".
And folks wonder why I've sworn off doctors...

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
