I didn’t know anywhere was worse than California but I believe I have found somewhere that is. It is Germany! I waited in line to go into a café in the Munich airport where all the staff were wearing surgical masks; the table they were going to sear me was, I kid you not 6 feet from where I was standing. And mind you the cafe was was open to the terminal on all sides but they required me to go to a pharmacy to buy an N 95 mask to walk the 6 feet to take my mask off to eat. Again the staff were all wearing surgical mask, I was wearing a surgical mask, but that did not meet their “requirements”.
About cholesterol: I've read that there's not a strong correlation between dietary intake and cholesterol in the blood.* That is, high cholesterol foods (such as eggs) do not contribute to heart disease. Your thinking?
*w/ the exception of a small portion of the population that's hyper-reactive to cholesterol intake
