I don't think you have a choice. Arent you Canadian?

That's actually just me trying to understand your stance on this. Otherwise I'm just laughing at your naivete.

Sorry about the paywall. The "gotcha" was from Linda Hirshman. Did you see what Mark Blyth said about paywalls?

Honestly, I think they're just bored.

I think you're just sore that a feminist who will outrank your concerns about sexual assault forever advocates a utilitarian approach. I wish you'd re...

You asked for a Biden supporter's viewpoint, I gave you one. It was more than a quote because I linked the NYT article it's from. If you didnt underst...

This is Linda Hirshman with a fuck-ton more interest in the question than you'll ever have. From the NYT "I’ll vote for Mr. Biden this fall. I won’t s...

Chimps?

Did he have a heart attack? Did he go to the cardiac catheterization lab for a stent?

We were intubating early as well and we stopped. ARDS is a diagnosis ICUs deal with a lot. One of the docs in the video was championing the time honor...

Peachy.

I dont think anybody is idolizing Biden.

There are two sides to lung function: getting rid of CO2 (pumping) and oxygenation that happens passively in the alveoli. The ventilator helps with ox...

A coworker thinks it's going to spew when we come off lockdown. I don't know. It's the weirdest disease. People come in with seizures, blood clots eve...

I cited NPR. Maybe they're different.

It's not even clear that there's going to be an election. We're having a freaking pandemic.

You just chuck it sideways, right?

It's that I'm programmed to be skeptical of everything Fox says, but reason states that the CCP did screw up. I would expect the CCP to lack transpare...

NPR talks about the Chinese "whitewash" With Trump supporters (including Fox News) blaming China for the pandemic to deflect from America's mistakes, ...

Plus he he was involved in Ukranian corruption. Oh wait.

okey dokey

All the presidents in that video were democrats.

Famines of biblical proportions means we'll have to sell ourselves to the Egyptians as slaves. We'll eventually get restless and kill all their sons a...

Maybe the subway causes people to take on a larger viral load, so they get sicker before their immune systems kick in? The big question continues to b...

In a small NYC sample, about 25% had antibodies, which is encouraging.

We may have multiple waves, but we'll have a vaccine hopefully within the year. Then the issue will be getting it to the most vulnerable people, someb...

:up:

Maybe it depends on the setting? A random academic article is here today and gone tomorrow. Great philosophical works live for millennia. Philosophers...

They'll look for it if they think you have something they need, right? If I speak or write (for real life stuff), I try to engage the audience by pres...

:lol:

It's said that based on reports from Wuhan, China isn't giving out accurate data, but it doesnt look like it has spread to other parts of China, which...

Really? Saturated how?

I never thought that. Welcome back Forrest.

It might provide some protection. It's more important to wash hands and don't touch your face. If wearing the mask causes a person to fuss with their ...

Yep. The CDC wants people to wear cloth masks. My hospital is giving all its employees three of them.

So you do get that. Cool.

I think we allow people to think wearing the mask will keep you from getting it, it's really more that the mask protects others from you. If everybody...

I'm enrolled in antibody testing research since the UK is a bunch of slowpokes and won't do it for us. The goal is to finally get a decent model.

You need antibody testing.

So let's get this straight: taking it seriously earlier would have had a meaningful impact on events if the US and Europe had taken measures in Januar...

They're super tiny, so they don't make much noise.

Sorry, I misread you. This would be true if locking down early means that you were able to contain the virus. Attempts were made to do that in NYC. Th...

The virus silently invaded Europe and the US two weeks before the first cases appeared in those locations. Locking down early enough to do a two week ...

That's ridiculous.

So the lesson is that if you're on an island off the coast of Nowhere, you can influence the effects of a global pandemic more easily. Thanks.

There were events called great depressions in the 19th century, but maybe the name is unusable now. What would they call it? Eco-Crisis-20?

"Lack of caution." :grimace:

My hopes aren't the issue. Until we have QT that agrees with relativity, we have incomplete speculations and therefore no basis for metaphysical prono...

This is a statement of speculative physics, of which there are many varieties and no one commonly accepted version. We just aren't there yet. Therefor...

Could be. :smile:
