Well, it would've decreased the chances of a more infectious strain becoming widespread in the US if it had been implemented months ago. It could decrease the chances of worse strains that might originate outside the US becoming establ

"Northern Idaho" used to be shorthand for " extreme right wing" due to it being the location of the headquarters of the Aryan Nations and location of the Ruby Ridge standoff. Those references are over twenty years old n

Can't explain it for you, but I saw something vaguely similar to that 10-15 years ago a couple hours drive south of there. Two satellite-type objects traveling across the sky roughly parallel and then they shifted trajectories so they

I was pretty shocked to start poking around and see that most frontline COVID workers have not contracted the virus yet. I even saw a study that indicated that nurses were more likely to have contracted the virus through social contact outs

I think there's a great deal of misunderstanding about what the processes that go into vaccine trials are. I've seen people talk about all this long-term post-trial monitoring that is getting skipped and then have people who'

It's been covered well in other comments, so read the whole thread, but basically it's expected that the vaccine would greatly decrease your ability to spread if not completely eliminate it. It's just pending hard data which

I don't think it "wouldn't take much". Intel certainly has resources, but they'd also be competing against Apple, nVidia, and some other heavy hitters. Additionally, I doubt the TSMC would have much incentive to de-

I've been following all the COVID related studies (via /r/COVID19, which is one of very few Reddit subs I've found worthwhile) and there is an incredible abundance of garbage studies about COVID19 in general. Tiny samp

As someone who first learned that healthy Vitamin D levels were known to decrease respiratory illness severity (regardless if they help with COVID) I have mixed feelings about the repeated front-page posts. On one hand, I think it's us

I'm really happy to see Dave getting some attention. The stuff he's worked on was and continues to be fascinating. He did a Reddit AMA with lots of interesting stories from his career a few weeks ago: https://www.reddit

That's a valid criticism I hadn't considered. My work PC, for instance, is barred from using Onedrive for security reasons, but it still has icon. Same with the Windows Store app. Agreed that they could/should make it easier

I'll take the very non-HN stance here and say I really appreciate some of Microsoft's cloud integrations. Onedrive has occasional issues, but being able to save my documents, pictures, etc. to Onedrive instead of a local drive i

They took essentially the approach most likely to be effective and deliver results as fast as possible. If you choose the overly conservative choice on dosage you might possibly end up with not meeting your efficacy goals and end up either

The FDA continues to demonstrate with that they are not equipped for dealing with a crisis. This is the same organization that took 46 days to get a working COVID test at the beginning of the crisis [0], a failure which cost untold lives. T

Since the tweet has been deleted, here are some comparisons I did using actual photos I took. These are from when FS2020 was initially released, so imaging data may have gotten better. FS2020 actually gives you the ability to not only adjus

Agreed. It's also important to remember that the 3/4 week dates for the second dose were not chosen based on it being the most effective timeline, but because it was the minimum time needed to complete the studies as quickly as po

Vulnerability isn't binary. You're not immune one day and susceptible the next. It's much more likely that immunity to getting sick might start decreasing over time, but still remain relatively high. So, perhaps 80% in 3 mont

I also have an improved opinion of season 5 after the latest re-watch. It always seems like it goes off the rails in the early in the season, but those story lines come around and resolve themselves in reasonable ways.

I don't really think production of vaccines or test supplies is limited in a way that could be improved significantly with DPA. Vaccine production for both the US approved mRNA vaccines is highly specialized and those companies are hea

> though like many, I appreciated season 2 a lot more in retrospect I just finished my third rewatch last night and I honestly like season 2 more each time I watch it. It might be my second favorite season after season 4.

You're handwaving away an awful lot of systematic government coverup and lying. Most of the positive things you're saying were the works of individuals putting their own safety and security at risk against the wishes of the govern

I know you're mostly joking, but here were some of the takeaways I took from the article: * China lied about the virus. They banned investigators from outside the country and tried to cover everything up. Experts knew they'd lied

For what its worth, this article is the best thing I've read on the pandemic in the USA in the last year and I'm glad it finally hit the front page. It's incredibly long, but I found the part 25% or so that focused on the USA

Interesting to me that TFA completely ignores the two biggest things the government could do to expedite the vaccination process in the US: Approve the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine and extend the time in between doses of the mRNA vaccine

To be frank, the people most likely to be super spreaders have mostly become infected by now and achieved natural immunity. 30+% of people in large portion of the country have likely been infected [0]. There are certainly some regions with

Depending on the state, essential workers are near the front of the list as well. Those would likely include a subset of your list, but probably not restaurant workers.

It would've taken about the same amount of time to find and link a non-paywalled article, and been much more useful. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/12/31/wiscon...

Difficult to say broadly, since there are quite a few different vaccines each with their own ingredient. The biggest difference is probably the lack of ingredients in the mRNA vaccines. They're incredibly simple and contain basically m
