your entire thread treats the premise of the paper as inane or making a moral implication about what this phenomenon means, but it is actually useful to know that value for human life over other life is socially conditioned. if you treat it

pfizer did not take the time to check how much warmer the freezers could get without impacting vaccine viability. moderna did. pfizer knew a certain threshold was safe, so they put it on the tin. moderna tested, found their “real” threshold

this is the most important thing you can do for planned (not emergency) operations. check volume and pt outcomes.

sure, but i don’t see how this could make it “worse”. as the vaccine is more widely understood this fact re pfizer vaccine will be messaged to the public. the people first vaccinated will be in health care, and anecdata (most of my extende

as others have pointed out when this is brought up, this seems out of order to me. the relocations required in the story that caused the team’s exodus occurred prior to the severance package tied to coinbase’s new corporate stance on workpl

nursing is “not that complex” in the same sense that programming is “typing characters into a file”. my sister is doing critical care work as a nurse in a covid crisis zone earning less than 60K a year. this is with a decade of experience i

no it doesn’t, unless your subjective opinion says these two are in fact indistinguishable in which case you would have to explain the reason for the semantic collision of “placing a wager” and “cracking a joke” and how these two completely

generally speaking, one sentence responses that beg the question don’t contribute much to this forum in my opinion. here is an entirely plausible chain of conditions leading to the GP comment: 1. it is very difficult to buy a PS5 right now.

“The thing is, the immune system is very complicated.” quote from the link here, but for those who don’t want to click through (this article is fascinating though), it is told in the context of a joke which i will post below the link. http

ventilation is the standard course of care for ARDS and most covid crisis cases present as ARDS. it’s great. don’t look it up. in the first few months, ventilation was used extensively as both a last line of defense and a preventative (mayb

presumably it would be a marginal wealth tax that only took effect at some certain socially agreed upon threshold, past which you are determined to have “made it” (and this works with wealth in a way it does not for income, since your debts

I think close family relations and friends, you should ask if they want advice. For this type of recommendation, I (personally) would want to know the person so I could guess at what their reaction would be. This is also more unconventional
