Preliminary Data Suggests Low-Dose Radiation May Be Successful Treatment For Severe Covid-19

Human medical trials have begun on severely ill COVID-19 patients using low-doses of radiation. The first results on a very small group at Emory University Hospital were published this week and the results were quite extraordinary.

it’s a hypothesis generating finding that should be further investigated... but that would be difficult if no one knew about it.

Are they still talking about those 5 patients or are we to expect a further article with a larger sample size?

Just so everyone knows including old wrinkly Ralph W, Forbes has a contributor section that is not really Forbes Forbes so that’s what these have been falling under. I know Ralph was pretty jealous before but he should be aware of that.

The author of the Forbes piece has a history with low dose radiation. Google him to find out

I didn't know to post here or that other thread we got going. (Yeah, the Forbes guy is to radiation what brown-nosers are to anuses.) This is the only other non-pontificating paper besides the Emory paper I know of right now. Anybody know of any other *data*?
