These are grim, quarantined, and unprecedented times occurring in places by the most unlikely mutant - COVID19 AKA The novel Coronavirus.

Let’s cut to the chase - these are extremely trying times as there has been many like this throughout our history, especially the black community. Yet, no matter the circumstance, gravity of challenge, or threat to our modus vivendi, modus operendi, and life we find ourselves at the same place and the same time.

Where are we? We are steadfast in a - PERFECT STORM...which is a rare combination of events or circumstances creating an unusually bad situation. In this case the storm can be characterized as a biological Armageddon where a virus with stealth-like features catapults from animals (likely a bat) to humans. 

With a  plethora of missteps as precedent make no mistake this biological Armageddon will usher in a “game changing fallout” equal to its once in a every 100 years predictability.  What makes this - COVID19 pandemic - a component of a perfect storm:

(1) the likely hood of gross leadership incompetence occurring in...
(2)  the same cycle with
(3) global malfeasance.

We saw this coming and ignored it, we watched it move across the globe with cloaked apprehension behind a penchant for rationalization -  it won’t get us. Now the epicenter is here  from Wuhan, China to - I love NY.

Nation and Worldwide, HBCU’s History: Dr. Herman G. Cooke, A Renown and Distinguished African American Scientist, Elizabeth City State University (1961-1977)

Dr. Herman Glenn Cooke (1918-1977),
who touched the lives of many during the 1960s and 1970s at Elizabeth City State College (ECSC), now, Elizabeth City State University (ECSU), Elizabeth City, North Carolina, was professor of biology and a genius of an amazing biological discovery.  Internationally, he was recognized as the discoverer of an unknown species of Chironomid: Chironomidae (very small two-winged, nonbiting lake midges or swamp flies), near the vicinity of Madison, Wisconsin in 1962, so named in his honor. He was an exceptional collegiate professor: highly respected by colleagues, who mentored students; especially student-athletes, and their “academic achievements,” as they successfully completed their college studies and majors.

And now, all over the world, Dr. Cooke’s ground-breaking water research about nonbiting midges is needed “academically and medically,” certainly more than ever before!
 Indeed, most urgently, we need to revisit Dr. Cooke’s swampy lakes and boggy rivers, because of the day-to-day illnesses and accumulative deaths of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.  Clinically, COVID-19 researchers of etiology (infectious disease causes), immunology (immune system), epidemiology: viral pathogenesis (vaccines development), and other medical investigators, I therefore ask the question.  Could these wetland midges or organisms (anti-bacterial immunity and natural-bodily chemistry defense), that Dr. Cooke discovered help mankind treat, conquer, or cure the coronavirus?


These earthly flying midges are generally an important food source for fish, especially trout and young salmon, dance flies, sectivorous birds, flying predatory creatures, the plant Venus fly trap, and many other aquatic or water dwellers.  Midges and oxygen: Some species of midges are known as 'blood midges'. They contain the red blood pigment 'hemoglobin', which allows them to absorb oxygen from the water more readily. As a result, they can survive, habituate in polluted water with very low levels of oxygen.  --- Various Sources
