Quantum Key Distribution for Cryptography

Chinese researchers report in the journal Nature that they have used quantum entanglement and a satellite to send a Cryptographic key over a record distance of 1120 Kilometers as securely as the laws of physics allow and do so with unprecedented speed and low error rates. The transmission speed

The first COVID-19 treatment

Oxford University researchers say that a very cheap steroid drug called "dexamethasone" that has long been safely used to treat arthritis can save the lives of about a third of severely ill COVID-19 patients, such as those who are sick enough to be put on a respirator, it doesn't seem to help much

Re: Quantum Key Distribution for Cryptography

I view quantum cryptography as mostly hype. Quantum cryptography doesn't solve the problem of authentication which is the main challenge when distributing keys (i.e., ensuring the right person is getting them, rather than merely ensuring they weren't intercepted). The other reason I think it is

Re: The first COVID-19 treatment

John, That's good news, and it is in line with these protocols, which seem to indicate there are two phases of the disease which require very different treatments: https://www.evms.edu/media/evms_public/departments/internal_medicine/EVMS_Critical_Care_COVID-19_Protocol.pdf It seems in the first
