This isn't related to OP questions but moreso to your situation. I work in a hospital and I was talking to an occupational health safety advisor (probably makes CAD $80k/yr). He told me he was an ED physician in his home country

It's safe for people with those conditions, we don't know if it's safe for people in respiratory distress. Take thalidomide for example. Great drug for treating nausea, but not great when that person is also pregnant. By no

>When contacted not a single hospital in Australia knew of Surgisphere or the study, and none of them had any commercial relationship with Surgisphere. To be fair, I wouldn't expect any individual hospital (or individual at the hosp

The only trick I have heard of to get lower rates is to rent a PO box in SK, sign up for Sasktel and get a SK number (Sasktel being government owned has lower rates I guess). Seems pretty complicated though.

Would price gouging not just apply to essential products (with the caveat being 'who determines what is essential')? My city flooded a few years ago and gas stations were selling bottled water for super high prices. I think that

I think you also have to know if the tweet was reported. Obiviously twitter isn't going to read all tweets so only ones that are reported can they act upon.

I don't understand, doesn't this play into China's hand? China is trying to undermine it's automony, now US is staying they are the same? Isn't this giving China what it wants? EDIT Saw this in a Reddit thread by

Social media companies don't necessarily need to take a stand. Label any tweet with the word 'vaccine/vaccination' with a link to the WHO (or insert users country health ministry) info on vaccines. There is obiviously

I've run into the situation where I want to buy an e-reader. I like the Amazon paperwhite product but my public library doesn't support it (they support Kobo). So if I want to get books from the library I need to buy a Kobo.

It was a few years ago I listened to it, but I came away thinking Joe gave him the time to spout the theories and didn't push him on it. He has interviewed him a few times, not sure which one I listened to.

But with millions of viewers, does he not have some moral responsibility to question Jones' view that Sandy Hook was faked?

They likely don't need the manual feedback as they would be able to tell that someone asked the same question twice in a row, and then look at the data to see what the issue was.

Suncor was right in the midst of a big investigation into 500 ducks that died in a tailings pond. Might have played a role. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/syncrude-suncor-clear...

I'm in Canada so we don't yet have the Amazon branded delivery drivers. In my city, many Amazon packages are delivered by a company called Intelcom. It's people driving around their own cars, delivering packages.

I've had amazon deliveries where it appears the whole family was in the car. Kind of heart breaking to think that a family of 4 has to drive around so I can get my AA batteries same day. We need drone deliveries.

Likely depends on the type of virus. There are two types, enveloped and non enveloped. The enveloped would likely act similar to bacteria whereas the non-enveloped would likely suffer more from higher concentrations of alcohol.
