There is one study I know of that found a "weak positive correlation" between number of ICU beds and mortality, no correlation between number of general beds and mortality: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/art

I was a fan of social media at it's birth. Like many, I saw an ability to stay in touch with old acquaintances with less effort and intrusion. We didn't have to interrupt each other with a phone call, or worry about replying to

Most mainstream news sites have a very clear agenda of making liberal policies and politicians looking better than they actually are. The quality of news media (on both sides of the aisle) has declined drastically in the past several years

I hide nothing. I believe what I say, I say what I mean, and I mean what I say. I stated that diversity does have a price, but made no statements as to education scores or public health. These problems with diversity do not stem from any

There's lots of programs available in California. If you're not currently drunk or high, you can generally get a bed and food for a day at a shelter in most West Coast metropolitan environments. If you're in these shelters,

I don't feel the need to deport illegal immigrants who don't commit violent crime. However SF doesn't allow ICE to arrest/serve warrants, even if the person in question has drug charges, violent crime charges, etc. In

It's just a symptom of the neo-pseudo-scientific political system. I can find plenty of articles that "fact check" my gut instinct that deporting illegal immigrants who commit violent crime will reduce the violent crime. A

ARRL noted one of the channels was within an Amateur band. So they're reducing the consumer options for ARRL members and other HAMs who would be licensed to use this feature legally and correctly, with the correct channel selection.

Technically, you’re not allowed to “operate” on bands you’re not licensed for, including rx, but enforcement is difficult, of course. Edit: If your device has any transmit ability, it falls under above. If your device ONLY has rx capabilit

Why should someone be punished for someone else stealing their property? If a child gains access to a firearm, the owner can be held liable and face punishment. This makes sense to me. But I should be punished if someone breaks into my p

Most "gun violence" uses stolen firearms. Presumably, they'll be using CA's firearm registry to enact the tax. So it's legal owners paying for the actions of illegal gun owners (as a bit of a generalization).
