Note that Shanghai tried to ditch the zero covid policy and avoided taking action for ten days. So the infection grey large then central govt stepped in. Other chinese cities had outbreaks, reacted quickly and got rid of the virus. The Shan

You can increase food productuon in a variety of ways, and food production responds to market incentives. But the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere and oceans is a math problem and doesn’t respond to market incentives: it is pure externality.

This is true, but you end up walking for about an hour and fifteen minutes a day to walk 7,000-10,000 steps. If you do this on top of drives to the store/work that’s a lot of your day. Whereas if your errands or commute involve walking

I used to have a 10,000/day goal. Recently switched to 7,000. I still regularly exceed that goal but realized not falling below 7,000 was important on days I wasn’t able to move as much. Interesting to see the threshold I chose has res

Monocausal thinking doesn’t suit a complex system. HFCS increases obesity. But you have increasing obesity in regions without it, and have people who eat it who aren’t obese. It’s neither necessary nor sufficient and your comment contribute

To clarify: the measured levels from my tap were high, though not crazy high. High enough the city gave a filter to local residents and said not to drink the water from the tap. 7 micrograms per litre, legal limit 5. This was after running

Montreal. Lots of old pipes. They sent city workers to check, determined my unit’s levels were high and gave me a filter. Planning work in a few years.

Does anyone know if lead levels matter much in adulthood? Found out my local water had lead, old municipal pipes. Drank it about ten years. Or possibly just two. Either way, wondering if I should be concerned or do anything beyond filtering

Most people have some kind of sleep deficit. Catching up on sleep isn’t oversleeping. Iirc there are more heart attacks the day after the change resulting in less sleep, and less the day after the change resulting in more sleep.

Good article. However it doesn’t say the Soviet Union propped up South Africa. Rather it says that the ANC (opposition) was supported by the Soviets. So the apartheid government argued that apartheid was necessary to keep out communism. Whe

Spanish flu’s mega waves stopped though. My point is if covid keeps swamping us then we won’t be able to ignore it. Easy to say “I’m done with covid” at the bottom of a wave, which is where most of the world is now. (Referring to the popula

That’s contingent on the number of waves being four and the number of years being two though. I have no expectation covid is done. At a certain point you have to pay attention if it’s bad enough. (It isn’t now)

This is unlikely to be true for respiratory viruses. Compared to an ancestral environment, we have: * Much less contact with bacteria, dirt, allergens, due to sterilization * Much more contact with respiratory viruses, due to enclosed space

That’s true, but the Japanese had transferred their best units and equipment out of Manchuria to fight in the Pacific, and the Soviets did not want a two front war. If there had been no chance of American entry Japan probably would have a
