This sounds promising.
Researchers at Emory University Hospital, led by Dr. Mohammad Khan, Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology, treated five COVID-19 patients with severe pneumonia who were requiring supplemental oxygen and whose health was visibly deteriorating. Their median age was 90 with a range from 64 to 94, four were female, four were African-American, and one was Caucasian.
These patients were given a single low-dose of radiation (1.5 Gy) to both lungs, delivered by a front and back beam configuration. Patients were in an out of the Radiotherapy Department in 10 to 15 minutes.
Within 24 hours, four of the patients showed rapid improvement in oxygenation and mental status (more awake, alert and talkative) and were being discharged from the hospital 12 days later. Blood tests and repeated imaging of the lungs confirmed that the radiation was safe and effective, and did not cause adverse effects – no acute skin, pulmonary, gastrointestinal or genitourinary toxicities.
The gray (Gy) is a dose unit of ionizing radiation defined as the absorption of one joule of radiation energy per kilogram of matter. The Gy replaces the older unit of the rad, and 1 Gy = 100 Rad.
It’s cheap, easy, and most hospitals already have the equipment. It’s going nowhere.
So gamma them? Do I wear a mask?
Screw the safety protocols, if you’re zapping me for COVID I want superpowers.
No it doesn’t.
Makes no sense at all. Virus in situ aren’t unhappy about tolerable rad.
Careful about small sample correlation vs causation….that’s the 21st centuries most common trap.
Read the link.
I did, it’s nonsense.
Effectively nil data.
And you’re an expert at Radiation treatment.
Uhuh….
Should YOU end up on a ventilator, I’m guessing you would totally REFUSE to undergo this “NONSENSE” right…??
Uhuh.
Well worry not, If that happens, I’ve got some fish tank cleaner for ya….works like a charm
It’s not the virus that’s killing people, ya dolt! It’s the other opportunistic infections or pre-existing conditions that assert themselves when the virus compromises the immune system! Radiation is likely knocking THEM out and giving the immune system a chance to play catch-up.
Silly boy, it’s the cytokine T cell immune reaction that kills most, not “opportunistic” infections. Antibiotics will not save you from corona virus.
If tolerable radiation is killing coronavirus 19, then all the other corona virus types will likely be fixed with radiation. Doesn’t happen.
I still think this is WW 3 and we don’t know it yet. China either made this virus or it was formed out of street markets with unrefrigerated meat beside wild meat(?????? Who does that? Rant for another day about all cultures being equal).
China has sure taken advantage. Moving into Hong Kong and from what I’ve read navy is expanding. We don’t hear about it because useful idiots are rampaging USA.
Sad times. So many people I interact with are SOO grateful for a new normal.
I’ll wear a mask!
I’ll social distance and take 3 times as long to get groceries hallelujah I get food
Sad times. And so many co workers etc are so indifferent to the mob rules. “ so what? Take down that statue.” “Yeah police are scum”. Look around. Whatever job profession or government department you are in has bad apples/unfit for job. Defund everything?
So yeah. I think China has succeeded in crippling our economy. Somehow useful idiots are providing a distraction.
Wait for the next shoe to fall.
Don’t believe me? Fine. But March 6ish did you think the world was going to shut down?
Thanks Kate for the forum for all of us. Even unme. And for the links to news hard to find.
150 Rem? For comparison. Last I heard LD50 is about 400 to 500 Rem, and the maximum allowed yearly occupational dose is 5 Rem in the US.
I would not want to try it if I was 15, but now 60? Yes
Lethal dose numbers are for whole body. Therapeutic doses can be much, much higher but for only a small area. Will have to wait and see whether this was causal or merely correlated. Retiring from the nuclear industry after 30 years this dose would not be considered low for radiation workers!
How about making Nurse Laquisha wash her filthy paws after crapping out the soul food she had for lunch? Or firing her fat ass if she refuses? Because that’s how you stop Wuhan flu.
Back in reality, as an Ohio state senator found out after he was shitcanned from his day job as an ER physician, criticizing the unsanitary habits of “people of colour” is a good way to get canceled.

Ivermectin seems to be sometimes effective in treating the Chinese Coronavirus. It cut deaths in high risk patients from 25% to 15%. Not a miracle drug, but an improvement. Better than only palliative care
http://www.pharmafile.com/news/550818/us-trial-ivermectin-cuts-coronavirus-mortality-40
This is another generic drug that has been around for 30 years.
So is it still an Emergency?
The millions of deaths,the sweeping infections,the collapsing Hospitals…None of these things happened,
So is it still a National Health Emergency?
If not,what authority are all these politicians and public healthcare hypocrites operating under?
Seems a large reach when you can’t go to work or the pub,but you can gather together in mobs,scream and shout,praise each others Wokiness and riot.
And these same idiots say thats OK.
Has any one seen a good update of the Public health pronouncements about Covid 19 aka the Wuhan Flu,versus the facts as they became obvious.?
J R, this will continue as long as the ability to control our habits is the primary goal of our masters. WE need to stop it with massive civil disobedience. People can riot over a dead ex-con yet we can’t go to church. Freaking liars, each and every one.
Trump better keep his trap shut or they’ll actively try to sabatoge it. They’d rather you die than have him be right.
Look at Chris Cuomo who took cloriquine for himself but claimed blumpf was an idiot for talking about such a dangerous treatment.
X-Ray therapy. Too bad. Alec’s comment made me want to ask if any of the subjects exhibited massive muscle growth (shredding shirts and socks/shoes, but not affecting pants in the groinal area) and strength increases, while a green-shift was noticed on the epidermis.
Good God, what next. Treat it as the flu virus it is and we will not die in numbers greater than that caused by the seasonal flu. I am in the so called highest risk category, age wise and with a couple of minor underlying medical conditions and will let my immune system deal with whatever is coming. Biological warfare however will kill most of us.
OWG
I Mirror that 10,000%.
67 – had 5 Bypass op 3 months ago.
Walking 2-3 miles a day today without a MASK – I REFUSE to wear one.
Like You, I too have an immune system. I take my Vit D, C w/zinc daily and will rely Soley on that for the time being.
I simply shake my head at the DRONES I see driving their cars wearing nitrile gloves & a Mask with the windows rolled up tight. FMGently – Your Useful Idiots.
No, no,no … we need a cure that costs much more so that Glaxo Kline Smith or a similar business can make their executives very rich. Nothing cheap and easy will do.
As well, nothing useful until November, as the orange man bad is not supposed have another term. Slavery by confinement is alive and well in the first world.
Hope Ireland gets that UN Security Council seat, not Canada.
So double the dose and zap Liberal Brains with it, see what happens.
Godzirra!
Nothing will happen. I’m not sure that radiation really has that much effect on rocks.
Wanna see a cure go to China, they’ve done remarkably well. Well enough to suggest some sort of vaccine.
Yeah, if you believe a word that comes out of there
My trust level of everything and everyone decreases daily and no I’m not paranoid.
But there are some facts.
The Wuhan Flu is merely a tracer round.
Like many these days, the Chicom leadership can’t wait for gratification. The SHTF sooner than you think.
The US and many of its allies (not Chinada with PM Pole-smoker in place) are going to have to beat that place down and break it into pieces.
A therapy or vaccination or cure for the Wuhan will not help against all its cousins.
Or the hoards of the PLA.

The Aussies have joined up with India because…
“This is India’s fifth CSP collaboration in the region, following on similar deals with the US, Japan, Indonesia and Vietnam. It is thus perhaps unsurprising that China views the expanding network of maritime partners as potential encirclement.”
MacArthur should have cured Wuhan Flu with some Radiotherapy.
I find it astonishing that no one at SDA has a problem with the research by a fellow whose name begins with Mohammed and ends with Khan.
I would certainly pass on the recommendation to blast me with 1/3 of the lethal dose of ionizing radiation in the name of Allah.
