COVID-19

One vaccine that cures every illness that requires under-the-skin sensor

Pentagon researchers developed a microchip that can be inserted under the skin to detect COVID-19 infection before a person begins showing symptoms.

“It’s a sensor,” said Dr. Matt Hepburn, an infectious disease physician, and retired Army colonel. “That tiny green thing in there, you put it underneath your skin, and what that tells you is that there are chemical reactions going on inside the body, and that signal means you are going to have symptoms tomorrow.”

The technology was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, a top-secret unit launched during the Cold War era that studies emerging technologies and how they can be applied for use in the military.

Hepburn said that the microchip has only been used inside the Defense Department and can detect a COVID-19 infection before an individual has the potential to spread the disease to other service members.

“We challenge the research community to come up with solutions that may sound like science fiction,” Hepburn said.

Hepburn likened the microchip to a “check engine” light on a car, alerting the user of a positive COVID-19 infection and directing him or her to take a test to confirm the result.

“We can have that information in three to five minutes,” Hepburn said. “As you truncate that time, as you diagnose and treat, what you do is you stop the infection in its tracks.”

DARPA scientists believe the technology will be critical to stopping outbreaks among service members, who often are forced to be in tight quarters together for long periods of time.

Another DARPA scientist, Dr. James Crowe, said the unit eventually hopes to wade into vaccine development, saying it could “start from a blood sample from a survivor … and be giving you an injection of the cure within the 60 days.”

“For us, at DARPA, if the experts are laughing at you and saying it’s impossible, you’re in the right space,” Hepburn said.

I’ve been seeing some people on Facebook saying that abiding by state law and doing online church is a lack of faith.

I’m going to try to articulate what many pastors may have difficulty articulating with an example.....

If you are single and you want to risk your life and travel into a region where there are travel advisories because of anti-Christian sentiment, etc., and you feel like God has called you, then hey, be obedient, and risk it. You may even be a modern-day martyr (which is actually totally cool). I can respect that.
😎👍👍

But, if you have a family, and you ignore the travel advisories, and you drag your family into a war zone because you think it’s “faith” and your whole family dies, I don’t think that’s cool. I think that’s stupid and selfish.
😡👎👎

Pastors will give an account to the Lord for how they cared for Jesus’s flock. Jesus said to Peter, “Do you love me? Then take care of my sheep. Especially the old sheep.”

It’s not a question of faith. It’s a question of authority, commitment, and responsibility, and no offense but if you don’t understand these principles then you don’t understand true faith.

If you aren’t a senior citizen, then don’t pretend like you understand what it’s like to have a virus preying on the elderly.

If you aren’t healing the sick already, don’t pretend that you are John G. Lake.

If you aren’t pastoring a church, don’t pretend that you understand the responsibility.

It’s easy to talk big on Facebook, but sometimes we need to remember the golden rule and put ourselves in other peoples shoes before attacking them.
