Developed by Eli Lilly and Company, this investigational medicine is comparable to the treatment that President Trump received after he contracted coronavirus last month.

HELEN KELLER TRIBUTE 27 June 1880 – 1 June 1968 by Christine Nelson Helen Keller lived a normal life until she experienced an illness at the age of 18 months that left her deaf and blind. Early childhood included days of frustration, manifested by outbursts of screaming, kicking and scratching. ( 6 ) Anne Sullivan began teaching Helen Keller at the age of six. Miss Sullivan taught with patience and guidance. A lifelong friendship developed with Helen Keller. Of her savage pupil, Miss Sullivan wrote: “She has a fine head, and it is set on her shoulders just right. Her face is hard to describe. It is intelligent, but it lacks mobility, or soul, or something. Her mouth is large and finely shaped. You can see at a glance that she is blind. One eye is larger than the other and protrudes noticeably. She rarely smiles. “It was days before...
