DR. Zelenko responds to the study on hydroxychloroquine  :  My approach is to treat patients early in the infection and not wait until they are in the hospital.  All studies are done on very sick and are designed to fail. Defeating this enemy means to ignore the ‘news’ article and go straight to the source information. The good news is that real information is available. But it takes a little while to learn how to read it. It’s a struggle, it takes energy and focus...

-NYT: The infection that is silently killing Coronavirus patients-  Covid-19 overwhelmingly kills through the lungs. And because so many patients are not going to the hospital until their pneumonia is already well advanced, many wind up on ventilators, causing shortages of the machines. And once on ventilators, many die. There is a way we could identify more patients who have Covid pneumonia sooner and treat them more effectively — and it would not require waiting for a coronavirus test at a hospital or doctor’s office. It requires detecting silent hypoxia early through a common medical device that can be purchased without a prescription at most pharmacies: a  pulse oximeter.

  1. The schools MUST provide a free phone with service for each child!
    It is impossible for a family that has a few children to manage all the call-ins.
    We are still paying tuition and their overhead has dropped significantly (no electric, water, etc.).
    Let's get a movement going!

  2. How come this ‘leading organization’ stayed anonymous all of these years? We heard of Tomchei Shabbos, Kupat Bnei Torah and the Bais HaTavshil, but not them.

  3. Tzur gives out millions of dollars in Lakewood a year. Mostly for weddings. At least that's why I have been donating to. Office on Clifton Ave. You should continue to not know who they are.

  4. Is BMG giving out half of the ~$6,000,000 grant that they received for the students for housing etc for Covid? When will receive this information. People can use the money that is supposed to be for them. Any information? $3,000,000 would help many yungeleit and bochurim.....

  5. Oximeters seem to be an important tool in fighting Covid19. Most stores are completely sold out. be careful when buying on line. I tried to buy in bulk a while back and had a bunch of orders cancelled on me. There is a shortage of supplies to make these in China, and their are a lot of fake sellers on various platforms.

    Aitzah Tovah, with many smartphones you can download an app for free that has an oximeter (for example, Samsung Health). It is not as accurate as the stand alone oximeters (based on reviews of these apps) but it's something

    I called Optimum and they said in order to add a new line they need to change the modem to a 2-line modem and it would take a FULL WEEK to get it since they closed their stores due to the virus.

  9. You can get Verizon service for as low as $6.57 for the first month from US Mobile using a 4g phone.

    Firstly check if your device is eligible here: https://www.usmobile.com/networks input the MEID under "Your Device". Then you need to order a SIM kit from usmobile.com/shop/product/Starter-Kit , to get it for free just use the promo code CPTB4AA . Don't use the same email address to order the SIM and for activation.

    When activating create a new account using a different email address. Use promo code NACWKXC (or get someone else's referral code) to get $5 off the minutes only plan (This code will give you up to $10 off first month, its 50% off the base price)
