My brother, God has honored you. You are men. We are women. We cannot go out or work like you. My brother, where is the brotherhood of faith in your hearts? We are women. There is no brotherhood, no mercy, no compassion, no humanity. And give good tidings to the patient. It is the greatest hope while waiting for what we want. +𝟵𝟲𝟳𝟳12414748 ”””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””” My appeal to every Muslim, my brother or sister, the owner of the channel, I know that it is not my right to comment on your channel, but God is my witness that our circumstances are harsh and forced me to do this.

Oh man, we are with you. My mother ordered us food from the restaurant. More and today. My mother left. Crying. She said, Why are you crying, my mother? She said, My daughter, I ask. God, that I may be honored by death. She said, Why, my mother. She cursed us. She said, “My daughter, today the restaurant owner insulted me. I said, ‘Why?’ I said, ‘How can I be better than people?’ I ask God, my daughter. May God gather me. With death alone, a gathering that is better than this humiliation and this humiliation. It is true. I am saying this. It diminishes my value and respect. But, man. I swear to God that I did not say this. I kiss your boots. I am so hungry that my conscience no longer allows me to let you go and ask us for food. I kiss your boots, man, and I ask you by God Almighty and in the Book of God, man, I kiss your boots, man. He has caused us harm, my brother, so that we can buy a kilo of flour and pay the rent. My brother, have mercy on us. He who is in the show will have mercy on you, He who is in the sky. My brother, this is my WhatsApp number: 𝟬𝟬𝟵𝟲𝟳𝟳𝟭2414748. Whoever can help us, message me on WhatsApp. We will send him the full name. He will transfer us as much as he can. May Allah reward you. Allah knows that my family and I, our house rent is 15 thousand Yemeni riyals per month, and now we owe 45 thousand for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of those people who do not have mercy. By Allah, my brother, he comes every day and humiliates us and talks about us and wants to throw us out of the house and into the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. We will have until the end of the week, and if we pay him, he will swear by Allah that he will throw us out into the street without mercy. See my situation for yourselves. I ask you by Allah, the Living, the Eternal, to help me. By Allah, the Almighty, even at night we cannot sleep from fear. We do not have mattresses or blankets to warm ourselves from the cold. Everything is flooded from the rain, and we have no one but Allah and then you. My brothers, I kiss your boots, don’t turn me away empty-handed. Help us with whatever you can. Is it acceptable to you that we live in this place? We are girls and we have no one. Our father died in a car accident. Consider us your daughters and your honor, and help me with whatever you can. May God reward you ””””””””””””””””””””””””.°÷π÷π÷÷π`π^~_~÷`÷`π÷~_π`÷~ππ°~÷~π~π~÷~π~ππ~π…….،.، ……،.،..،.،..،.،.،..،.،..،.،.،.،…………..,.,..,.,.,.,..,.,.,..,..،.،.،.،.،..،..,..,., , ,.,.,..,.,.,..,.,.,.,……………………,.,.,..,. . .. . .. . . .. . .. . . . … ….،..، ……….. ….،…. .،.،..،..،.،..،.،…………….. ..،….. …………….. …..،.،. ، ، .،..،…..،.،…. ….،….. …..،… ،..،.،… .. ..،…،…،……………،…………..,..,. ……،……،………………،…………،……………..،.،…،…..،……..،…… .. ……😢😢😢😢♡♡🎉😢😢😢~~♡♤,;♤♤♤♤♤♤♤

As soon as he mentioned CDC, I started laughing. Certainly not funny but the CDC will be of no help since the agency is being dismantled.
I’d be interested in seeing studies investigating the effects of anti-microbial products like hand soaps etc. on the gut microbiome.
