Covid-19 & blood oximeter

Covid-19 causes repertory problems that affect the blood oxygen levels and resting pulse rate.

 

Wearable devices that measure your resting heart rate—made by Apple, Fitbit, Garmin, and others—might help scientists spot viral outbreaks, and also give you more insight into your own health.

Monitoring Your Pandemic Health, From Your Home New at-home tests and health monitoring devices may give a new picture of the COVID-19 pandemic.

One of the keys to managing the COVID-19 epidemic is getting access to accurate data, from lots of people and lots of communities. That data helps define the boundaries of the pandemic, from who’s sick and who’s not, to the locations of hotspots, to trying to understand the hidden medical effects of the virus.       

In recent weeks, the FDA has given the go-ahead to several tests for COVID-19 that can be performed remotely, from your own home. Such tests could help greatly expand testing capacity, an essential part of plans for recovery—but only if the tests are sensitive and reliable. Researchers are also working to develop other ways of using tech to monitor the outbreak, from heart rate monitors in smartwatches to sampling community sewage plants for evidence of the virus.  

Eric Topol, the founder and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute, joins Ira to talk about some of the technology that could be brought to bear to get a better picture of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

I have signed up to share my data, hope you get a wearable device that measure your vitals.  https://detectstudy.org/

Vice President Pence for President!

I’m an independent and don’t like Trump because of his inability to say he was EVER wrong.

Republicans should be looking at to upcoming 2020 election and decide if Vice President Pence or Trump has a better chance in the upcoming 2020 election.

Was obvious the Republicans lost wherever Trump tried to help and his attacks in immigration has ensured his defeat in the 2020 election and it’s in the best interest of keeping their jobs if the Republicans take the easier out and the more electable Vice President Pence!

Casa Grande Noise Complaint was refused

Last night my new neighbor had a party and were making a lot of noise and at 10:30 asked them to keep it down but just got louder so at 11pm I called the police with a noise complaint.

 

The Casa Grande police arrived in 15min but nothing changed because I found out that loud talking and laughing isn’t covered in a noise complaint, can tell them to lower the music volume but loud talking and laughing cant’s be stopped.

 

The cops left and the party continued until 11:30.

So have made an enemy and learned that I can’t do anything about it.

 

Next time will call the police again but need to ask for a change so a noise complaint can include loud voices.  They should either invite the neighbors or keep it down after 10pm, as per ordinance.

 

The Noise Complaint was refused because they weren’t playing music but a large group of loudly laughing ass-hats can keep they neighborhood awake as long as they like.

Joe Arpaio

The Pardon for Joe Arpaio From Trump should be rescinded and this asshole should be spending time in the underfunded prisons that he wanted.

 

Donald Trump issued his first presidential pardon to the last person who should get one.
John Oliver discusses the troubling record of former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Find The Helium

The U.S. found helium on Earth before anyone else. The military saw so much potential in this lifting gas that the government tried to keep helium a secret. There were code words like, "send more pups from the same litter." That meant send more helium.

The government started a stockpile of it. Now, helium is essential for space exploration, MRI machines and making our cell phones.

But there is a helium shortage. There are entire birthday parties with droopy, helium-less balloons because party stores are out.

Today on the show, a series of government decisions and counter-decisions that helped create that shortage. Also, we go looking for new sources of helium.
