The homeless have plenty of stuff offered to them already.

If someone wants to help those in need, find out what your next door neighbor needs.

If everyone helped just in their own neighborhood, everyone would be taken care of.

Plus, I do not trust any organizations besides Samaritan’s Purse or Salvation Army to make sure the funds go where they are needed.

I’ve heard that the sooner the better for administering the drugs.

The problem is, government run healthcare is delaying it in many cases until; the patients are far too sick. Once the lungs are damaged past a certain point, nothing short of a lung transplant will help.

The drug may kill the virus but the damage is what kills the person.

One thing a large number of people in this country do not seem to have a whole lot of is patience.

I am an impatient person myself.

But my impatience has been utterly crushed by my fear of contracting this infernal beast.

The links on this page, appear at first blush to be from reputable, peer-review journals.

e.g. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S000527361500053X?via%3Dihub

Investigation of the effects of distance from sources on apoptosis, oxidative stress and cytosolic calcium accumulation via TRPV1 channels induced by mobile phones and Wi-Fi in breast cancer cells

is from Elsevier.

It considered oxidative stress on certain breast cancer cell cultures as a function of distance and frequency of several WiFi signals.

It did look at distance — not from a tower, but from a cell phone, and found that the control group had no statistically significant difference from 20 cm and 25 cm separation.

Have read into detail to suss out in vivo vs in vitro, study design, or sample size.

Or of course, regular tissue compared to breast cancer cells.

The LinkedIn link I posted isn’t coming up to the info. Have to access it from a google search instead. I’ll just copy & paste.

About
I earned my bachelor’s degrees at the University of California, Davis, in Biological Sciences and Psychology. After earning a Ph.D. in nutrition science at UC Davis, I became an assistant professor at Sierra College where I taught my students health through nutrition. I also developed a curriculum, Nutrition and Metabolism, that covered the complex interactions between diet and exercise in determining overall health.
While working towards my doctorate, I spent the majority of my research evaluating the usefulness and appropriateness of medications in weight management. Despite this work, I felt that I was still lacking the fundamentals that would allow me to truly advise people on the management of health and fitness. To fully help people the way I desired, I believed that I needed medical knowledge. That was the moment I decided to return to school to become a physician.
Following medical school, I was trained in emergency medicine. I have been a practicing emergency physician since 2006. My patients in the emergency room often suffer from years of unhealthy living until they reach the crisis point when they require my medical services. Their problems are often symptoms of a single problem - lifestyles that result in poor dietary choices and insufficient exercise. Because I treat patients on the verge of life and death, I see first-hand the value of preventative health. Rather than waiting for patients to come to my emergency room, I choose to bring my knowledge of health and nutrition to people, so that they can achieve the healthy results they want.
My goal at Reset Health is to combine my knowledge as a physician with my background in nutrition and metabolism to create a unique and scientifically-based weight and nutrition management program. Not only do I want my clients to succeed in the short-term, but I want you to achieve permanent success. I do not want repeat customers; I want healthy graduates. I will support your success every step of the way.

The labeling of numbers has been very confusing in this situation

I’m not sure where discharge number fits in then if 17,493 is the current hospital census.

Cuomo said this weekend the 74% of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 have been discharged. That would fit with the 17,493 and 14,590 being cumulative numbers rather than current (hospitalization) numbers

My math brain gets a headache when the numbers being reported don’t add up

Yes, I dealt with this when on a county planning commission. People were protesting a phone tower placement on top of a mountain so steep you couldn’t walk up it. And the signal path went way above all housing in the area.

We ignored them and approved the tower.

So the PhD in nutrition came first. That makes sense. Do you think I should make a YouTube? Would you watch that? If I did would you bring a link here to share? I might consider it.

I work as an RF Engineer tech in the past and still play with radio as a hobby now.

I had a good friend who worked around a lot of RF emitting equipment in larger DOD server and communications equipment rooms. He died in his 40s of Lou Gehrig's disease.

I had a cousin who allowed a microwave tower to be installed on his property, about 300 yrds from his home. He died of a similar disease.

I'm not sayin' that's what killed them. But, my home router has one 2.4G channel and 2 each 5G channels. I only turn on the 2.4G radio. If microwave level freq. was entirely safe, then screens shielding microwave door windows, nor copper gaskets sealing microwave tubes would not be necessary.

Just sayin'...
