Ep. 33.5 Bonus Minisode: CoronaTreatments

For the 16 people out there that aren't sick of COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 information already, here is another BONUS MINISODE on just that topic!

We discuss the WHO's new clinical trial to gather some data on these treatments, talk about 5 of the treatments more specifically, and then go into debunking mode!
