"Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.  Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy." -- Winston Churchill

So every morning, when you wake up, put your battle paint on and wage war by following the plan, we are hammering this lipid-coated RNA virus into oblivion.  We get what we create, so keep the pressure on.  This fat coated virus dissolves with alcohol or soap.  We know that warmer temperatures and higher humidity effect virus survival.  Warmer more humid days are coming.  We are moving our opponent into a corner and we are going to win.  It just takes consistent determination and innovation from all of us.  Life will return to normal.  The harder we fight, the sooner good times will be with us.  We are courageous hard-working, innovative Americans.  What is courage?  It is the ability to go forward in the face of fear.  Want a little fire scarecrow? (click this).

Therapeutics:

• Hydroxychloroquine+Azithromycin+Zinc therapy is being used in many hospitals.  It is not readily available as an outpatient treatment, but maybe in the near term.  We will have some answers soon from the Columbia/Oz trial.
• Keep passing the word about the use of passive transfer of convalescent plasma - click here.
• Innovation is on-going;  here is a vaccine patch that will add to our weapons.
• There is a company  that has made super monoclonal antibodies that can tightly bind to the virus.  This will limit continued cell infection and propagation of the infection.  This is like super convalescent plasma.
• My group is talking to lots of helpful people; thank you to all of you who have given me suggestions.  Our potential remedy might, I repeat, might help the 20% of people who are developing galloping inflammation in the lungs from the COVID-19 infection that is causing the shortness of breath from the viral-induced inflammation (cells busting, releasing inflammatory substance - cytokines, that are like pouring salt on an open wound).

On a fun musical note: (thank you AK)

And on a TGIF much lighter note:
