Sandworm Blood Could Help Coronavirus Victims
Two French hospitals are poised to start experimental treatment with sandworm blood of patients suffering of respiratory problems caused by the new coronavirus.
...
Biology researcher Franck Zal, the CEO of biotechnology company Hemarina, observed years ago that sandworms, also known as lugworms, could survived on land and in water.
“I observed that the worm only breathes when it is in the sea, and when it is in the sand it stops breathing for 6 hours. So, I discovered that this molecule is its little oxygen tank that allows it to hold six hours until the next high tide,” Zal said.
The treatment Zal subsequently invented has been applied to kidney transplant patients and improved the oxygen levels of the organs.

“Several folks have posted about the high incidence of false negative results from the nasopharyngeal swab and we believe that this is what occurred. Patient initially negative so taken off protocols - symptoms increased - retest - positive.
So this past Friday she came home from a night shift almost unable to walk...had body aches, fever etc. We went back to the hospital to get swabbed. Results came back positive on Monday. Oddly enough her only incidence of fever only lasted about 10 hours. The body aches, head ache, dry unproductive cough and lethargy have persisted throughout. She also lost her senses of taste and smell on day 3. Based on my research, day five is the milestone when respiratory complications tend to begin to present. She is reporting a heaviness in her chest but SPO2 levels are normal and I am not hearing anything unusual during auscultation. So far so good.
I’ve been penned up in this petri dish since the 23rd and am not experiencing any symptoms at all. I’ve have upped my Vitamin C intake to 5000mg per day and I take zinc in the form of Zicam 5-6 tabs per day. I moved to the living room and she is sequestered in our bedroom. I mask up when I go in to check on her or just to hang out with her...then I sanitize, wash hands, spray down surfaces, etc. I spend as much time outside in the yard as I can. I walk the dog daily and run 3-4 miles every other day while doing a total body work out the other days.”

Coronavirus In Texas: Fort Worth Lab Can Test If People Who Never Showed Symptoms Were Infected
Oh, no, you have it all wrong. You'd be racing to the office and later to Home Depot and the Olive Garden through all of this. Maybe a quick trip to Target to pick up seem cheap Chinese made crap for the patio for your BBQ that weekend.
“Pretty much refutes the deep state conspiracy by pointing out that, duh...China would not shut down half of their country to satisfy our “deep state.””
Just to add to that:
1) Now we ALL see our dependence on China is REAL, not a bunch of ‘white nationalists’ simply bitching.
2) Likewise, people are learning about our dependency on China for KEY ITEMS, like masks, drugs, etc.
3) China’s status as a highly reliable partner will never recover, at least as long as they’re Communist.
4) Trump’s entire point on trade is validated. Cutting loose from China is now seen as something in our national security interest.
5) China had no idea as to how Trump would respond. Trump, just as easily could have done a Taiwan-style response, where anyone coming in, from anywhere, would be subjected to a mandatory quarantine and testing (along with other measures). Additionally, Trump could have moved out to get manufacturers to immediately start on masks, ventilators, and basic drugs (or else). And if he had done that, Trump’s approval would be more like the leader of Taiwan, at around 80%. In other words, IF China engineered this, they took a HUGE GAMBLE with Trump, the CDC, and FDA.
So, lots of downsides for them, and few potential upsides. I doubt even the FluBros think that China did all this, just to ‘get us’.
That Javit’s Center field hospital is pretty cool looking.
I have seen before and, now, during pics.
The ACoE did a great job, on that.
I imagine the Bronx location will be equally impressive.
Trump is doing his best to bail out incompetent Cuomo who has allowed diversity and PC to ruin downstate New York and now rules a welfare state resembling a third world country.
That’s awesome.
A lot of folks trash our young people and military on here, but they can do some great work!
i have been watching direct labs to see when they would get a test that doesnt require your Dr.
They now have one test but not THE test
So I suppose if you cant get a test and you want to spend $169 this FDA and CDC approved test is the next best thing

The SARS-COV-2 Stool Test is Helpful for the Following Individuals:
1. Patients exhibiting signs and symptoms of SARS-CoV-2, including:
Fever
Cough
Shortness of breath
Gastrointestinal Complaints
2. Asymptomatic patients concerned about having or transmitting the virus
3. Surveillance of patients who previously tested positive for COVID-19 by respiratory sample
Just read (on TxAgs forum) that TX COVID patients (isolating at home) are assigned a Texas Healthcare worker, that checks in with them, daily.
Appear to be doing mental and general well checks on the patient and caregiver.
Yep.
POTUS and USGov have come to the incompetent Cuomo’s rescue.
That’s a great idea, I hope they are doing that in other states as well
FL is doing the same. My daughter is a third year med student and she is doing telemedicine checks on covid patients who are recuperating at home.
i dont think i would want that unless I knew for sure I had it if they are talking about going to your home.
I would be okay with them calling to make sure I am still alive
