Like it or not, we are opening back up....

Trump is definitely "different". Apparently he told one biographer that his persona is that of a 6 year old boy - says whatever is on his mind. We have never seen this in a president before. He was brainstorming....and in the process revealed his serious lack of knowledge of things medical.

I judge him by his actions not his words. He respects and follows the counsel of experts. His words shake things up and them he assess the best course of action. I'll take this any day over letting the swamp run itself. There needs to be a tension between the experts and the decision makers who are driven by the broader needs of the country. Past presidents tended to go too much with the experts who had in effect become biased insiders, under the sway of the swamp.

Someday there might be some sort of vaccine but there will never be a cure.
There's NO MONEY in a cure.

Have you ever considered Doctors and Lawyers don't know anything? That's why they are called medical and law PRACTICES.
They are practicing all the time and never become a master.
Ever heard of Auto mechanic, Electrician, or Plumber practices? I don't think so!

Trump is no dumber than when he was elected (even then, he was waaaay better than Hillary).

But 4 years later, I sometimes wonder whether he's any smarter... :/

This is the best evidence we have to date that there are no aliens at Area 51. I'd put my last dollar on him revealing that in the course of a rant.

Ha! I look more like an escaped convict when I buzz mine anyway.

If I could just find an orange jumpsuit...

I buzz my own hair. Once you get past 60, you don’t care anymore. It’s not like women are checking me out, lol.

What? Hasn't he already said that the Hildebeast, Pelosi, and Maxine Waters all came from there?

Lol, indeed...

Been buzzing/shaving my own for decades... ain't never been no girls checkin' me out.

So what about putting light inside the body?
Is Trump on to something?

It appears he may be. UV-C light can destroy viruses and bacteria. Its commonly used to sanitize operating rooms, and water sanitation systems. I just had a whole house unit installed at my home.
Nanoparticles can be hybridized to actually take UV into the body.
I know this link is about taking cancer drugs into the body using nanoparticles, but the reference to being able to convert them with the ability to use UV may have credence fighting internal viruses. Here is how:

A team of scientists from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), in collaboration with researchers from Monash University Australia, has succeeded in significantly increasing the stability and biocompatibility of special light-transducing nanoparticles. The team has developed the so-called "upconverting" nanoparticles that not only convert infrared light into UV-visible light, but also are water-soluble, remain stable in complex body fluids such as blood serum, and can be used to store medications. They have created a tool that could potentially make the fight against cancer significantly more effective. The researchers recently published their results in the journal Angewandte Chemie.

Nanoparticles are tiny structures, typically less than 100 nanometers in size, which is about 500 to 1000 times smaller than the thickness of a human hair. Such materials are receiving increasing attention for biomedical applications. If equipped with appropriate properties, they can reach almost any tissue in the human body via the bloodstream -- turning into perfect body probes.

It has been known for some years that the distribution of nanoparticles in the body is essentially determined by their size and surface properties. Dr. Tanmaya Joshi at HZDR's Institute for Radiopharmaceutical Cancer Research says, "Upconverting nanomaterials are of great interest for biomedical imaging." "When stimulated with infrared light they can send out bright blue, green, or red signals. If we succeed in navigating such nano-probes to diseased tissues, it can be particularly useful for cancer diagnosis," the team's photochemist, Dr. Massimo Sgarzi, added.

However, these light upconverters show poor solubility in water or tissue fluids -- a must to have feature before any diagnostic or therapeutic use could be imagined. For the HZDR team this was not a hindrance, but rather a challenge: "We used a unique polymer mixture to cover the particles," says Dr. Joshi, who joined HZDR in 2017 from Monash University, as a Humboldt Fellow. Adding this protective cover makes the light-transducing nanoparticles biocompatible. The biologist Dr. Kristof Zarschler adds: "The upconverters are now water-soluble and even have a neutral surface charge. Our research shows that this new cover can almost completely prevent the body's own substances (present in the blood serum) from binding to the particles. In other words, the nanoparticles now seem to wear an invisibility cloak. This, we believe, will help to avoid their recognition and elimination by phagocytes of the immune system. "

In order to keep the new nano-probes stable for weeks in a complex biological environment, the scientists photochemically link the components of the protective shell with each other: "We simply irradiated our nanoparticles with UV light. This creates additional bonds between the molecular components constituting the protective cover -- much alike sewing together the individual parts of the cloak of invisibility with the help of light, "explains the PhD student, Anne Nsubuga. She further adds, "This shell is only a few nanometers thick, and may even be used for hiding other substances, for example, cancer drugs, which could be later on released in the tumour and destroy it."

Following this breakthrough, the team now intends to validate their current results in living organisms: "For this, we first have to carry out strictly regulated and ethically acceptable experiments on animals. Only when our stealth-cap technology works on these without any side effects, their medical potential will be explored in detail and their application on the patients can be considered," explains the group leader Dr. Holger Stephan cautiously.
