| Low Dose Radiation on Ventilated Covid Positive Patients |
| 2020-07-17 |
| A very small scale study but the treatment is inexpensive and readily available. Only problem is that many greenies are opposed to any and all radiation since opposition to nuclear power motivates their whole life. [MedRxIV] Conclusions: In a pilot trial of five oxygen-dependent patients with COVID-19 pneumonia, low-dose whole-lung radiation led to rapid improvement in clinical status, encephalopathy, and radiographic infiltrates without acute toxicity. Low-dose whole-lung radiation is safe, shows early promise of efficacy, and warrants further study in larger prospective trials. |

| #3 Take away from Skidmark's link above: The radiation is provided by a large x-ray machine at low dose (to irradiate the entire pair of lungs at once.) Testing seems to be limited to whether or not the irradiated patent will live for 30 days after the one time x-ray treatment. The trail is limed to a maximum of 24 patents (16 at first with an additional 8 added later.) No nuclear materials involved! |

| #1 How is it administered? What isotope is used if any? Or is it some photonic source? |
