  • You Won’t Get CoVid From Your Sports Equipment

     

    Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/iDXD1P9mNs8

     

    CoVid virus landing on your glove or ball probably won’t live long enough to infect you.  British researchers inoculated a wide range of  equipment including a cricket glove, soccer ball, golf ball, tennis ball, and even a riding saddle with varying doses of CoVid19.

     

    When the surfaces of these items were sequentially sampled for live virus, the data showed a rapid decline on cricket gloves as well as on  tennis, golf, and some cricket balls.  The virus hung around longer on soccer balls, rugby balls, and horse saddles.

     

    This data is encouraging but assume any sports equipment in active play to be potentially contaminated.  Don’t touch your eyes, nose, or mouth,

  • Two Inhaled Drugs Knock Out CoVid

     

    Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/8YDcbnYmuhI

     

    #1: Ninety-seven percent of patients with moderate to severe CoVid quickly recovered from the disease with inhalation therapy using the experimental agent EXO-CD24.  Israeli investigators report the results of a preliminary but exciting phase one study involving 30 patients,

     

    The agent, inhaled daily for 5 days, uses exosomes to deliver the immunoregulatory protein CD24 straight to the lungs.  The treatment tamps down the CoVid-generated cytokine storm.  Larger trials are now underway.

     

    Agent #2: British researchers conclude that the asthma inhaled steroid, budesonide,used by asthmatics, stops CoVid progression in 90% of patients.   A total of 139 patients were randomized to receive the steroid or conventional therapy.  The treated group was less symptomatic.
