Indeed the last stretch of our ride while waiting for the Rapture will surely prove to be a bumpy ride!  Satan will pull out everything he has in his arsenal against God and His people.

Franklin Graham alone was not banned, God was! Just another indictment against those who choose to rebel against God.  Apparently no one learned any lessons from the story of the fallen angels.

Were the angels offered redemption, no doubt many would have availed themselves of it!  Whereas when redemption is offered to humans, many still refuse His redemption.  Satan has done his homework, while many men have not!

Eek ... signs of the times ... robot “doctor” treats first person in the US with Coronavirus.  I don’t know about you but I would be totally creeped out seeing the robot heading towards me with a stethoscope, or checking my blood pressure or doing phlebotomy work. :wacko:

 

First Person with Wuhan Coronavirus in U.S. Being Treated by a Robot.  The robot limits the exposure of medical staff to the virus.

Interesting Engineering.com

We have seen robots do everything from parkour to helping with the elderly. Now, a nifty robot is being used in the U.S. to treat a patient infected with the Wuhan Coronavirus, CNN reports.

The patient is a man in his 30s that that checked in the emergency room because he believed he was experiencing symptoms from the Wuhan coronavirus. He was sadly diagnosed with the virus on Monday.

He had recently traveled to Wuhan and was worried about his symptoms. The doctors put him in isolation, and he has been reported to be in stable condition.

Robot doctors
So, where does the robot come in? Well, its role is actually highly important, as it is meant to protect medical staff by limiting their exposure to the virus. Equipped with a stethoscope, the robot takes the man's vitals and communicates them to doctors who are not in the room with the patient through a screen.

"The nursing staff in the room move the robot around so we can see the patient in the screen, talk to him," told CNN Dr. George Diaz, chief of the infectious disease division at the Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, Washington.

Doing well
Despite being in a stable condition, the man has not been released yet. Medical professionals have ordered additional tests for the patient.

These tests are supposed to show whether the man is still contagious. In the meantime, Washington state health officials have been communicating with 43 people that are considered being "close contacts" of the patient.

"Close contacts" are defined as anyone who may have come within 3 to 6 feet of the infected patient. All such contacts will be contacted daily and actively monitored for signs of the virus

Robots to the rescue!  Having the technology, I say why not.  Just as long as humans still are in control.   Self perpetuating and robots growing in artificial intelligence scares me.

They have their place ... robots to dismantle bombs/finding land mine explosive devices, using them on the battlefield, etc.  I draw the line though with them being used in place of doctors, surgeons, dentists ...  The thought of them suddenly malfunctioning while holding a knife in surgery or drilling your teeth is daunting.
