At the center (of the epicenter) of the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s worth noting the role that “dirtiness,” at various levels, has played in the spread of coronavirus in Queens, NY and beyond.

March 15, 2020 – Elmhurst, New York Covid-19 busters shouldn’t be society busters. The health care system, at least in NYC is already overwhelmed by the virus.
