we nebulizer medications into the lung already. ever hear of TOBI? . he was brainstorming. the UV thing is cutting edge.
they are nebulizing Veletri into the lungs of COVID patients
just because trump knows more than lay people doesn't make him an idiot.
So I asked Bill a question some of you are thinking of if you're into that world, which I find to be pretty interesting. So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether its ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said, that hasn't been checked but you're gonna test it. And then I said, supposing it brought the light inside the body, which you can either do either through the skin or some other way, and I think you said you're gonna test that too, sounds interesting. And I then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute, and is there a way you can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it'd be interesting to check that. So you're going to have to use medical doctors, but it sounds interesting to me, so we'll see. But the whole concept of the light, the way it goes in one minute, that's pretty powerful.
I don't want a president who "brainstorms" in a running monologue on a daily basis. Anyway, it is more of an unfiltered stream-of-consciousness utterance than thoughtfully considered and articulated areas of research and inquiry.
Jobs lost: 20,000,000 and counting
deaths: 54,000 and counting
let's be generous and say on AVERAGE a person who dies of covid would have lived another 10 years. given their average age i think that's more than generous.
10 years is 3650 days.
we have lost 450 jobs for every life lost to covid so far.
how many would volunteer to lose your job if it meant a stranger would live an extra 8 days?
this is a discussion we need to have because you know they will be pushing another shut down in a few months when it comes back
My wife’s best friend just found out her dad (in a nursing home) has Wuhan Flu. She says she’s doubtful he’ll pull through.
My wife & I have had 8 people now that we know, who have, or had the virus, with about half being in the higher-risk group and all improving.
I can't fathom dealing emotionally with the reality of a death taking someone in their family or "inner-circle," and especially frightening if they are in a nursing home.
I read a stat last evening that I didn't post b/c the source of the info wasn't cited.
Can't remember the exact numbers, but the vast majority of the cases in MA were from nursing homes and with mitigating health issues and the median age was in the 80s.
You may not like the interviewer, but Dr David Katz was on Bill Maher and is was a great interview about COVID19. Worth a watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lze-rMYLf2E
This virus isn't going anywhere and we are going to have to deal with it. Holing up and shutting the country isn't getting the job done. I'm not saying forget about it and move on, we we will have to take precautions moving forward. You won't see me rubbing elbows ant basketball games but I will go to a reatraunt to eat it I have enough space that I don't feel I'm putting myself at risk. We will have to adjust but we can move on.
The damage of economic hardship definitely needs to be considered. Unfortunately it's not a simple equation. You cannot separate the virus from economic problems.
How much worse with economic damage be if the virus runs loose and we have a higher death count? I don't know if anyone has the answer to that question by a pandemic is bound to cause economic strife so these are not simple question or simple answers.
A review of different cities after the 1918 pandemic didn't show that those who did more for virus mitigation actually had a faster recovery. Of course correlation is not causation as there are so many different factors, and that was a different epidemic.
In my view of the characteristics of this epidemic you need testing and tracing of contacts. And we had almost zero testing available when epidemic hit the US. I think Indiana is now at the point where they are able to test to most symptomatic people? And they are running surveillance test this weekend to try to determine the extent of viral spread in different areas. So I think we're getting close to doing something more targeted here I hope

CONCLUSIONS
We have synthesized a biocompatible sulfonated CD that proved to be active against a large number of HS-dependent viruses. It exhibits a broad-spectrum virucidal, irreversible mechanism of action, presents a high barrier to viral resistance, and is biocompatible.
Should this work it in humans it would not only kill sars-cov-2 but end HIV,HPV and many different viruses that have the ability to infect us.Next up trial in humans.

When you get your desired contact tracing info (ignoring for the moment the potential inaccuracies in methods used to gather it) what will you do with it? Will you force (and with what coercions) people, that a phone app says came within X feet of a WuVid 19 positive person, to quarantine themselves for 14 (or more) days without some further indication of infection?
I predict some pushback on that strategy
They want you to stay home, until they are about to lose their jobs.

With all the Trump bashing going on in here over the last pages and pages this thread was starting to look more like a libtard media thread. And then it turns out Trump was right all along. How embarrassing.
It makes sense that Trump, briefed by experts, knows more than the typical Trumpphobic poster. This is a good thing - it brings to light more potential treatments and more ammunition in this fight against the chinese virus.
