I have heard that current polar temperatures are way above normal. What are the potential impacts of this, and what is the major driving factor of these unusual temperatures in the polar region?

Do you think there needs to be more messaging talking about the need to disinfect our personal technology along with washing our hands?

With hearing that the virus can live on hard surfaces for a period of time, it seems like this is a necessity. Otherwise, you are just recontaminating your hands after washing them the moment you pick up your phone.

I sure hope so. For my dad’s radiation treatment, they gave him several black dot tattoos to use a reference marks for lining up the beam. Do they do the same thing with the proton treatment? The mask in your pictures looks similar to the one he had to wear.

Is there any risk of scar tissue formation from this type of treatment? My dad had salivary gland carcinoma and underwent radiation treatment for it. About six months afterwards, he had scar tissue forming all over his neck and upper chest that caused a lot of issues. Towards the end, he had to get a tracheotomy and feeding tube because his airway was so narrowed by the scar tissue.
