Hi, long time liquid text user here. I’ve been asking for this simple feature forever but it’s never been implemented. Can we just create a dang blank document? I know we can import documents and webpages, but how hard would it be to just l

All the health experts I’ve heard from (and two of my immediate family members work at hospitals) have said that surgical masks do not prevent catching infections. You breathe by suction. Your diaphragm create a pressure difference by incre

please distinguish between surgical masks and N95 masks. N95 masks, fitted properly, do help prevent catching the virus. For a mask to be called N95 it has to be approved by the CDC. It’s specifically designed to block >95% of airborne p

They do not say death rate, but they do mention the case fatality rate, which is exactly what it sounds like, and as you have described. It’s the number of people who have died, of the known cases. Not everyone who is infected becomes a cas

The topic under question is the respiratory hygiene of dormitories as compared to living in a house or other living condition. The N that is under consideration is the number of dorms, and the people who live in those dorms. There are pros

We are way past containment. Obviously containment has failed. It is not contained. We need to be focusing on mitigation. Containment and mitigation are two entirely different strategies.

You’re assuming that the reporting in Germany is the same as the reporting in France. While they reached 4 cases the same day, that doesn’t mean that they had the same number of unknown infections. Let’s say France had 10x as many unknown i

This is absolutely false and yet another reason why journalists shouldn’t play epidemiology. Mitigating the rate of spread leads to less deaths overall. If everyone got it at the same time, there wouldn’t be enough healthcare system capacit

And many of those cases are new. How many of them have recovered, and how many are still battling it out? CFR can change tomorrow for a given population. Another reason it’s such an elusive number. When the infection spread is increasing, m

When I hear “fleet” the first thing I think of is a bunch of warships. Up until today, the President sending a “fleet” to another country’s leader would be considered an escalation of conflict or act of war. A temporary tweet? Why not just

Are universities not gathering empirical data when they study the results of others’ efforts at scale? Study being the key word in that scenario, it’s more than just copying what they see, but understanding why it’s effective, and if it wou
