it is possible that they are cannibals and when they eat the brains of someone infected....
Three of the deaths are people who had cataract surgery... Oddly enough.
Brain disease...has Biden visited there?
I was up in the woods of Quebec many solar orbits ago. They have some great smokehouse whitefish along the roadsides. Smoked, but not sure if they were choked.
I think that biopsies of the brain tissue of affected victims need to be obtained and sent for analysis ASAP to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Mad Canuk Disease.
