We seek the ultimate questions in Episode 42 as some of your inquiries are answered with the latest research.  We look at how not just cases, but deaths are likely being under reported especially as places with taxed medical systems make the decision to exclude high risk low survivability patients, substantiated by proving fatality numbers versus annual averages and Covid official casualty counts that are substantially beneath this discrepancy.  We learn that infants seem not to carry the coronavirus, although most had antibodies.  Japanese researchers show how microparticles could spread Covid in many more places with video that will astound.  In light of this, we see Austria's decision to mandate masks outside as sensible, as those places without protection get ill more quickly.  On the economic front, we see strikes and worker unrest building at Amazon, Whole Foods, in meatpacking and agriculture.  Tenants are planning not to pay, and Sicilians working under the table are now stealing their groceries.  Tensions build as the government response helps some but not all, and with restrictions likely until June as promoted in Virginia, the future will be a challenge.  Lastly, Brazil prepares as they see the virus is mutating there and a long fight is ahead.
