As a semi-health nut who's optimizing his health from taking drugs recommended by Dr. David Sinclair's Harvard research to Wheatgrass & Probiotics on the daily it was funny to get an email about a movie called The Great Extinction. It's a movie about bacteria and not a pandemic related one but our gut bacteria and probiotics.
Here's the synopsis from their official website:
Two globetrotting microbiologists, Gloria Dominguez-Bello and Marty Blaser, race to save our vanishing microbes before it's too late.The Invisible Extinction joins them on this urgent quest from the USA to Venezuela, China, Israel, and Switzerland, showing us how the overuse of antibiotics, elective C-sections, and processed foods are driving the destruction of our inner ecology, which is happening even faster than climate change.
At
the same time, the film tells the stories of three patients, in the USA
and China, who suffer from life-threatening diseases triggered by
microbial loss and are trying experimental treatments that hold hope. As
theCovid-19 pandemic hits, Marty pivots to focus on how our microbes
may help protect us from the virus and future pandemics, while Gloria
spearheads the creation of an international microbe vault to safeguard
precious specimens.
So the lesson for now is stay healthy and a good gut bacteria can help stave off diseases.
