(6,531 posts)But note, gasp, one of the lead researchers appears to be ummmm, HISPANIC!
Better call ICE ASAP....
On a more sober note however, the 99% cell kill apparently only applies to a lab culture.

(8,937 posts)My husband has Type 1 diabetes. Originally diagnosed as Type 2, but either things changed or the original dx was incortect. Before that, I didn't know that Type 1 could show up so late in life. (They used to call it "juvenile" diabetes, because it was usually diagnosed in kids.)
I wonder how long it will be before islet transplants are generally avaiable. That would be a life changer for him!

(19,205 posts)So, we'd have to have TWO lights stuffed up our butts - one for COVID, one for cancer. Add maybe one more with a fresnel lens, so we'd no longer need flashlights - just open our mouths.
Then, after elon finishes implanting trump-mandated NVIDIA chips in everyone, we'll have reached the pinnacle of human evolution, and the only thing we'll have to worry about is tripping over each other's extension cords.
(Seriously, though, that's great news. How long before Taco King cuts their funding and makes it illegal to even talk about it?)
