No. That would implies 100% infection, at a base reproduction rate 15 (close to measles), and a mortality of 30% (close to Ebola). If left unchecked covid-19 would infect 100-250 millions Americans. The R0 is 2.5-3. The average mortality ra

That isn't true at all. Trees become mature at different rates, which also depends on climate. In temperate climate with sub-zero winter, a fast growing species, like poplar trees and spruces, will take 10 years to start producing flow

I stopped counting how many times we cured any forms of diabetes in various mouse models. Then there is this thing that bugs me: amount of money spent on finding a treatment vs. preventing type 2 diabetes in the first place. Because 95% of

I am being half sarcastic half serious here, but what if they are actually able to properly recommend things to you, but they want you to buy more of the other in addition to what you are currently consuming? If you look at google search re

If you raise an issue and a few days later they update with a fix, then it's probably good. You're never going to see that from IBM. You will get an email from a marketing team telling about all the other services you may enjoy.

That paper suffers from a small number problem. With simple probability, using their 0.4%, it means that you would expect 0.26 blind child out of 66 to have schizophrenia. So that they see 0 is perfectly reasonable. For the other psychotic

That’s also what I think. Was I a good parrot is also something I said to in a physics class after answering a question (high school). One problem is that teachers don’t always understand either, they’re also parrots. They also don’t have a

On one side, yes. On the other side, the biggest problem with this type of vehicle is 12 inches behind the wheel. They should create a special category of license with extra hours of certified training.

I don’t know what problem that would solve. Academia rarely does trials that end up killing people. Unlike the whole CAR-T cell therapy. Companies like Juno killed almost 50% of their patient, before the FDA halted their trial, which was al

No. People who make money day trade with options. You and I do long-term stock purchase (“show me the dividends”). But if you can afford to trade everyday like a full time job, you do options.

I always try to find something on a dedicated forum first, then SO, then whatever DDG suggest. Reddit is a last resort, because I suck at reddit. Every time I post something there will be ignorant people who don’t even bother educating them

Just the fact that you don’t know its history, especially if that car seat has been in a crash before, should be enough of a reason.

AOC isn't anti-wealth, she is anti-greed, and with good reason, because greedy people are psychopaths. If you align your MO with hers, you'll be just fine, even as an ultra wealthy. Currently, the billionaires in this country are

I am not a fan of patents, mainly because of issues surrounding eligibility, implementation and abuses. (edit: which would be all fairly straight forward to re-adjust and enforce, if there was a will to do so in the legislature) I do, howev

The US health system, not just ‘mental‘, needs a change of perspective towards preventing, and more research. Your story point to that, but also to Patient compliance, which is a serious issue, not just with CNS disorder, but with everythin
