Fred revealed his diagnosis on April 6, asking his followers to "keep me in y'all prayers." In an interview with Bronx's News 12, his wife LeeAnn Jemmott said Fred had been placed on a ventilator and that a doctor warned her that he might not make it. She said he had been showing signs of improvement

Who would have the remotest interest in international travel until there's a vaccine - not much social distancing possible in an airport, let alone on a plane?

I’ve noticed there’s a lot of agitation towards any persons pushing for restrictions to be relaxed. I think it’s worth separating this group into people who are already flaunting restrictions and those who are obeying but are in favour of relaxing restrictions.

I’m in a situation where the restrictions make no difference to me financially. However there are a huge amount of people this does not apply to. People whose income relies upon being able to travel. Yes the government is subsidising but 350 is not enough for a lot of people, particularly if supporting a family.

You can say it’s easy to support an average family on 350 a week, but not everyone is an average family. I do not mean higher discretionary spending, I am talking about families with higher than average necessary costs.

I am in favour of keeping restrictions in place, but the vitriol being thrown towards anyone in favour of relaxing restrictions is over the top. Walk a mile in anyone’s shoes before judging them. And just because someone is not in favour of restrictions, does not mean they are disobeying them.

I wonder how many people now are stressing about their 2017,2018,2019,2020 car in the driveway and no savings.

You should always have 6 months of savings in cases disaster hits that would cover mortgage, food, necessary bills like eletric Etc.

If the real cfr is around 0.7% as studies like the ones in Italy and New York are suggesting then we've had around 150,000 cases here so far if you base it off number of deaths. According to the gov confirmed cases are at 18,184 which just highlights how pathetic our testing is. If we ever want get out of this mess we need to do ten times more testing. We need to work towards testing everyone in the country to get a full picture of whats actually happening.

The USA looks like it might be at the peak now and possibly showing some decline, next week will be telling. But the worst of it, at least for this cycle, might be over the US.

Jesus, sounds like he's been having a bit too much of the aul UV light himself. Imagine having to tolerate this ignoramus.

It's cringe worthy every time he speaks.

Cedars-Sinai-Developed ‘Healight' Medical Device Platform Technology Being Studied as a Potential First-in-Class COVID-19 Treatment

Led by Mark Pimentel, MD, the research team of the Medically Associated Science and Technology (MAST) Program at Cedars-Sinai has been developing the patent-pending Healight platform since 2016 and has produced a growing body of scientific evidence demonstrating pre-clinical safety and effectiveness of the technology as an antiviral and antibacterial treatment. The Healight technology employs proprietary methods of administering intermittent ultraviolet (UV) A light via a novel endotracheal medical device. Pre-clinical findings indicate the technology's significant impact on eradicating a wide range of viruses and bacteria, inclusive of coronavirus. The data have been the basis of discussions with the FDA for a near-term path to enable human use for the potential treatment of coronavirus in intubated patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Beyond the initial pursuit of a coronavirus ICU indication, additional data suggest broader clinical applications for the technology across a range of viral and bacterial pathogens. This includes bacteria implicated in ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP).

"Our team has shown that administering a specific spectrum of UV-A light can eradicate viruses in infected human cells (including coronavirus) and bacteria in the area while preserving healthy cells," stated Dr. Pimentel of Cedars-Sinai. Ali Rezaie, MD, one of the inventors of this technology states, "Our lab at Cedars-Sinai has extensively studied the effects of this unique technology on bacteria and viruses. Based on our findings we believe this therapeutic approach has the potential to significantly impact the high morbidity and mortality of coronavirus-infected patients and patients infected with other respiratory pathogens. We are looking forward to partnering with Aytu BioScience to move this technology forward for the benefit of patients all over the world."

I worded myself wrong, i meant people living pay check to pay check when they don't need to be whatsoever. Yea the 350 won't be enough for families barely scraping by, maybe not 6 months but definitely a month or two anyway or your doing something wrong.

So many big tities that it never got a chance to spread in as they shut down fast with next to no cases. IN theory there could be 20 New Yorks out there waiting to happen once those places reopen, LA so on
