Face Mask With Filter
face mask with filter, Fortunately, American science, innovativeness and ingenuity is a good defense. Over the years, I've been fortunate to work with and get to know a number of our best scientists, virologists, bio-threat experts and emergency preparedness and response professionals. These are men and women I know and trust. They are patriots and many are military doctors who are all about doing what must be done in a crisis situation to save lives today. Over the years, and yes, a good bit this past week, we've discussed how to deal with the type of situation we are currently facing. Here are some of those key specific steps we can take right now to get ahead of the coronavirus, contain it and save American lives

This can be done rapidly and provide protection until a vaccine is ready. Vaccines take one to three months after administration to show efficacy. Antibodies are immediate and provide protection over a four-month period.

Dr. David Gangemi is a noted virologist who formerly worked at Fort Detrick Biosafety Level (BSL) 4 facility and was referred to as our friend in the box in the book Hot Zone as a result of spending 53 days under quarantine in an isolation chamber. Gangemi is a huge believer in universal vaccines and states, We need universal vaccines which can protect against multiple strains of coronavirus.

Again, this capability, just like the antibodies, exists and can be ready in short order. Scientists just need coronavirus blood samples. According to Dr. Ray Mernaugh, former professor at Vanderbilt Medical School, “A rapid, accurate, and simple screening test is badly needed. He further notes that simple temperature testing as a screening method at the border overlooks those who have the virus, but no symptoms, as well as those who know they have symptoms and take measures to lower their temperature.

The AIT was actually loosely portrayed in the movie Outbreak. Doing away with it was a terrible decision. It's time for the Department of Defense and the U.S. Army to bring it back.
