Some on this board were advocating for hiring Pitino at UC last offseason. If the question was "would he take a job at UC," I think that question has been answered.

Has Carona destroyed their minds?
Iona is located in New Rochelle, New York, which is one of the hotbeds of the coronavirus outbreak in the United States.

Sooner or later, every locality will be a coronavirus hotbed, so its current prevalence somewhere shouldn't deter someone from accepting a job there. Coming soon to a place near you.

Corona.

Look for Iona to become a national power in 2-3 years. The mighty Gaels!
What does Iona have to lose? A worthwhile gamble for them. Admissions will probably see a temporary jump.

Hasn't Pitino already battled and conquered some other notable communicable diseases? If so, I like his odds.

Penicillin will not help Carona as it does other things!

You just need some prophylactic zinc to cut the infection risk. Same as the common cold.

Are you saying Wu-tang Clan fever is only as bad as a common cold?
This is a pretty good risk - reward for both Iona and coach. Either can cut bait pretty easy, but both can help raise the profile of each other.

This might be his last stop, so he may actually play it straight. Time will tell.

I'm saying that zinc provides protection against both since they are in the same family and use the same method of attachment and host invasion:

Just a helpful sidebar.

I've used it to stem many colds for years.
Zinc never got a P value worth a damn. By all means take it if it makes you feel better (most likely placebo effect), but I don’t recommend it in high doses.

Good move by Iona. I predict he has them in the sweet 16 in 3-4 years.

Better statistics. It may lessen cold symptoms by a day. And it may decrease the amount of colds by 1/2 a cold per season (whatever that means everytime I get a cold it’s a whole one) if taken as daily prophylaxis. However, this is at the expense of a bad taste in your mouth and potentially nausea. Not to mention it interferes with copper metabolism in the body and long term use has never been studied. You have to ask yourself if the side effects are worth it- that’s on the individual.

So like I said, if it helps you by all means have at it. As a practicing pharmacist of 20 years- I wouldn’t recommend it to everybody.
What's Iona got to lose? Being irrelevant?

If slick Rick gets in there and actually gets them somewhere, it's a great move.

What do they care if he cheats his @$$ off? Nothing will happen to them anyway.
The Gaels have a strong history:

79 NCAA
80 NCAA
82 NIT
83 NIT
85 NCAA
96 NIT
97 NIT
98 NCAA
00 NCAA
01 NCAA
06 NCAA
11 CIT LOST IN CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
12 NCAA
13 NCAA
16 NCAA
17 NCAA
18 NCAA
19 NCAA

Now except for the CIT they won only one game in NCAA and in NIT.

I use Zicam and have never had a problem with the taste. I've also used daily supplements. Generally I'll double up with the lozenges and the nasal swabs with the 1st hint of a sore throat and it's always done fine by me.

I really like the RNA data...seems this is one of the few anti-virals that goes after a unique process in the virus (RNA dependent RNA synthesis) same way that AZT hits retroviruses at a unique target. Combining it with choroquine jacks up the intracellular zinc levels making it even more effective.

What I'd really like to see is purification of antibody from cases that have shown recovery...test for binding by ELISA and then mass-produce and market that as a passive immunization while an active vaccine is developed...always thought that would be a sound approach.

I am not a bio engineer, but that last bit of dipsy doo sounds like it would take forever. Not sure how your going to pool enough plasma from survivors to get that done in amounts that would be clinically feasible for treatment. We have a hard enough time getting the garden variety of IgG let alone what you are talking about. Plus, we aren’t even talking about clinical trials for safety let alone efficacy, that can’t just be done overnight like Dustin Hoffman grabbing the monkey serum in Outbreak and giving a hot injection to Renee Russo.
