Top US Brains at Work Against COVID-19

Many of you may have already read the front-page article in the Wall Street Journal on April 28: “Scientists, Billionaires Mount Manhattan Project for Covid-19.” For those whose knowledge of US history isn’t the best, the “Manhattan Project” concentrated on developing the US atomic bomb during World War II. As a former microbiologist who once planned to enter the field of public health microbiology (before the funding for training was cut by the State of California), the WSJ article was of great interest to me.

I’m attaching the link to an article just published online in Global Research. Within that article is the link to the 17-page proposal of twelve world renowned US scientists (including one Nobel Laureate) on how to approach the Covid-19 problem with both speed and safety. I don’t know if our government is ready for accomplishing anything with such speed and efficiency. I at least hope they will give it a try.

Stay safe.

Six Degrees Versus Six Feet of Separation: A COVID-19 Reflection

Six degrees of separation is the theory that any person on the planet can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances that has no more than five intermediaries. These days, thanks to COVID-19, we try to adhere to six feet of separation. Despite our desire to be with our families or acquaintances, separation is still needed to protect us and others outside of our immediate household—whether we know and love them or not. This is not easy for any of us. Yet I reflect upon the loss of my beloved husband, David, from cancer three years ago. What if he had been in the hospital for a different reason? What if I had acquired an unknown disease? Much easier to be separated for a short while than for the duration of life. Please wear face coverings and keep at a distance when you venture from your homes. Even when you just walk your dog.
