Corona Is Slowing Down, Humanity Will Survive, Says Biophysicist Michael Levitt
Nobel laureate Michael Levitt, an American-British-Israeli biophysicist who teaches structural biology at Stanford University and spends much of his time in Tel Aviv, unexpectedly became a household name in China, offering the public reassurance during the peak of the country’s coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak. Levitt did not discover a treatment or a cure, just did what he does best: crunched the numbers. The statistics led him to the conclusion that, contrary to the grim forecasts being branded about, the spread of the virus will come to a halt.

Low-income households in Washington will be able to sign up for free internet for 60 days as the COVID-19 outbreak forces school and library closures throughout the region.

The service is part of changes to the company's Internet Essentials program, which normally gives low-income families internet access at reduced prices of $9.95/month.

According to WHO’s website, protocol calls for disposable masks to be used once and disposed of immediately afterwards. Health care providers treat several patients in a shift, and using the same mask carries germs from one room to the next. One registered nurse at Good Samaritan said sealing a surgical mask in a bag means all the germs trapped in the front of the mask travel to the back, eventually touching staff noses and mouths. “That mask is harvesting any amount of bacteria just sitting there,” one Good Samaritan nurse said. “And then I put it back on my face.” Edwards said in an ideal situation, the hospital would be following WHO’s ideal guidelines. “We are not in an ideal situation, and we don’t have enough masks to make that happen,” she said.
