I didn't know that about the Ebola crisis (was that around 2012?). My understanding of the anti malaria drug is that it is more risky a treatment than the rump is acknowledging. Some people here have experience cardiac arrest with hydroxychloroquine. There is another drug, developed for Ebola, Remdesivir that showing to be better. Will the orange rump order that to be made? Idk.
Is Khan Academy free? You probably know more about US history than I :) A fair bit of the south is 30° and below. We've has some zika scares.
