I suspect 2020 will be my Indoor Year. I’m not comfy doing more than buy groceries (when they’re on the shelves) ‘til we have a proven vaccine. Before that I imagine that we’ll be caught up on N95s and both sorts of tests: for virus and for unconjugated antibody. That’ll help, but the watershed won’t come ‘til the vaccine is generally available.
What's that vaccine going to be like?

How high can you get a corona virus vaccine?

@Dr. Who started a thread May 9th featuring new LED lighting he recently set up.

His last post on RIU was in that thread on May 25th.

Update tonight guys.
Going out to that op in a cpl of hrs..
I was told he had a surgery and it is concerning that he never updated since that post.

Hope all is well, maybe someone in this thread has a way to contact him or someone who can update his status.

In the trial, led by a team from Oxford University, around 2,000 hospital patients were given dexamethasone and were compared with more than 4,000 who did not receive the drug.

For patients on ventilators, it cut the risk of death from 40% to 28%. For patients needing oxygen, it cut the risk of death from 25% to 20%.

Chief investigator Prof Peter Horby said: "This is the only drug so far that has been shown to reduce mortality - and it reduces it significantly. It's a major breakthrough."
