i hope not! Normal in my estimation is evil. Let’s hope some virtue is a derived from this....at the very least.
Viva involving private industry in finding solutions..... FDA Approves Coronavirus Test That Can Provide Results In 45 Minutes The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of a coronavirus test that can detect the virus within 45 minutes, the company that makes the tests announced on Saturday. The FDA approved the test, created by Cepheid, a California-based medical device company, through Emergency Use Authorization, a process the helps circumvent the lengthy approval process for drugs, medical supplies and diagnostic measures. Cepheid said that its “point-of-care” test is compatible with 23,000 automated systems it has in hospitals around the world. Five thousand of those are in the United States, the company said in a statement. “We have developed a test that provides reference lab-quality results in multiple settings where actionable treatment information is needed quickly,” Dr. David Persing, Chief Medical and Technology Officer at Cepheid, said in the statement. “Our automated systems do not require users to have specialty training to perform testing — they are capable of running 24/7, with many systems already doing so today.” Cepheid said the test will begin shipping out next week. Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a former FDA commissioner who served in the Trump administration, called the approval a “key milestone” in the coronavirus fight. Cepheid did not expect the FDA to approve a speedy test until April at the earliest, the New York Times reported on March 3. The approval comes as health officials in states hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic are urging that tests be conducted only on health care workers and people in the hospital. The Washington Post reported that officials in California and New York have said that widespread testing will deplete inventories of medical equipment like gloves and masks, which are already in sparse supply. The number of coronavirus cases has increased significantly over the past week as test kits have been developed and more widely distributed to hospitals and state labs. As of Saturday, nearly 20,000 Americans have tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/21/fda-approves-cepheid-coronavirus-test-45-minutes/
I saw this also Carol. But as I was reading the article the quote from Ecclesiastes popped into my mind—“to every thing there is a season”. The season is Lent— so that’s what we go with.
I sure will. My sons are away too. One in a very high risk area. He was coming home, but got sick and though it best not to travel and infect others. There were no test available to test him. In Gods hands....and not mine....better for him.
Well t least it will give people a chance to think. The modern world is so busy I don't think people do much real honest thinking to themselves anymore. One of the best pieces of advice I was ever given was from my Spiritual Director. He told me that instead of reading newspapers and watching the media to give it all up for six months and just go and think about things myself. We're all going to die, virus or no virus. But as they said in the film, 'Gladiator', what we do now will echo in Eternity.
What a wonderful God inspired idea! Amazing. I must think. But where would you get a lit up Cross from?
Covid-19: Italy sees almost 800 deaths in one day https://www.rte.ie/news/2020/0321/1124574-italy-covid-19/ Estimated 900m people confined to homes globally to curb virus https://www.rte.ie/news/2020/0321/1124514-covid-19-us/
How very sad! Pray for Italy! https://news.sky.com/story/coronavi...e-inside-italys-hardest-hit-hospital-11960597
This is good news, the present testing method is inadequate. I pray there are no delays in distributing these new test kits. They can't get them out soon enough!
I really love this idea. I was planning putting out my Easter decor a little early this year to cheer us up, but I never thought about the lights!

Padraig, I just ordered one from Amazon. It looks ok and I just found one that may be better for you. It is larger than the one that I bought and it looks a lot better but it has a BS plug on it, is that what you use? Here is the link https://www.xs-stock.co.uk/large-cross-shape-christmas-rope-light-warm-white-leds/ . PS - I was going to try and make mine own but I was afraid I'll set my blinds on fire or something like that. I basically chickened out.
