    You can infer that the patient was a male otherwise the doc would’ve said it was menstrual cramps.

    Seriously, if you’re a woman trying to get medical advice, might as well walk out if the doc comes in and it’s an older man. My fiancé has told me about having two fractured ribs dismissed by a male doctor as period cramps “triggered” by her fall. Only later did they order an X-ray when the whole left side of her chest turned black.

    Covid was pretty well known about by 2020, if it was in 2019 I could potentially understand.

      The initial racist theory that dirty gross Chinese people OF COURSE gave us this disease cuz they’re weird and gross was debunked.

      Followed by the oh it actually might have come from a wet market, which isn’t super gross considering there are open air meat markets all around the world.

      Then followed by the “China created it in a lab to kill the west” rumor.

      It came from China, that much we do “know”
