Do they know this from a blood test that looks for antibodies? That is what I did for testing. The nasal swab amplication test looks for fragments in the air intake filter, not actual infection. By the way, I had vaccines for polio measles

I'm not familiar with _unvaxed_ people getting coronavirus multiple times (prior infection confirmed by antibody blood test). I got it once and blood tests show continued strong antibodies. Since then I haven't even had the flu in

A few years ago I got the 'rona and recovered. A few weeks later I went to doctor who got me blood test to confirm antibodies. He wrote letter stating I had it, I fully recovered, and the vaccines are not recommended. On a lark I got a

The "blame the for-profit oil companies" ignores the history of government dictated economies. We don't have to like private ownership [of energy production], but removing companies just changes ownership to less accountable

Some of the worst environmental damage has been done by socialist governments when they control everything. Private ownership is better than alternative of socialism. Even though residents of East Germany had considerably less standard of l

Wow, noise measurements seem prone to manipulation. I am familiar with a State that measures actual travel speeds, throws out lows and highs, takes some %, and that is the speed limit ( <= max by law ).

I'm not familiar with noise as a speed consideration by my State DOT. Do you have a reference to the noise consideration for speed limits in the law/rule for your locale?

Using rule of law and courts, it depends on your contract. Many residential providers have service as a best effort. Guaranteed service with penalties are typically possible, if you are willing to pay significantly more.

The example was "energy infrastructure", so network group in those firms use their skills to set it up. If any government group should be providing guidance and best practices on how to air gap devices, maybe NSA should write the

If your ISP determines there is a botnet from your home IP and you refuse their request to fix it, then it seems appropriate for your ISP to take action or "enact punishment".

Why doesn't MS do similar on all of their OS code by placing it on a read-only filesystem? Only allow updates when reboot into an update mode.

Specifically, FAA allowed Boeing to use software to cover up design flaw (crammed bigger engines under wings which causes pitch up problem) so it would appear to drive like older 737s. Apparently only a test pilot has been charged for falsi

Fed had to set up a swap/lend facility that weekend. Sort of like they make it up as they go. The specific regulator is going to retire. "Abbasi and Mary Daly, president of the San Francisco Fed, came under scrutiny after a post-

How well did that work for bank oversight in 2008, and again in 2023 with SVB? The accountability of "my one vote will remove government's failed regulators" fails on the scale of $billions.

I wonder if you travel by plane, and if you voluntarily consent to the full body scans in European and USA airports? Or do you oppose it by opting out?
