This is unknown, it's individual, and varies over orders of magnitude between different diseases.

There is an interesting accidental study about this regarding norovirus. (Back in 2014 I think, not the 2017 Tennessee thanksgiving event) Some guy vomited in a restaurant. Then you can clearly model the time from exposure to symptoms in ev

Low viral load exposure will likely increase the chances of a milder progression. But that's a very risky gamble. Will still be way too lethal. It is still unknown if this effect is insignificantly small. Instead we could grow lots of

15% positive is not representative of the total German population. This is a sample from a small town with a known cluster outbreak from a festival in mid Feb, where a significant amount of people are believed to have gotten infected.

> "(anti SARS-CoV2 IgG positive, specificity of the method >.99%)" This is a misprint. They meant to say 0.99 or 99%, not .99% That means it's very reliable that any positive signal originates from covid19 antibodies, i

Autonomy and Agency. Trust your people. Make sure they feel safe (not afraid) to make decisions and take action. It drastically reduces the need for management. It makes people feel happier about their work, raises quality and reduces emplo

Sad stories. Just get it done. Don't ask. A potential customer had been debating a problem for a couple of months with feasibility studies, lots of meetings, etc. They asked me about it as an aside over a coffee. I implemented a quick

Management overhead is a self inflicted wound. But very common. I often come in and ask people to stop doing meaningless tasks, just to be told that the previous, much more expensive, consultant had told them it's the bees knees. There

Not just google. All large companies I've inspected have had similar issues. Appearance becomes important. People loose agency and autonomy. Communication stalls. Things take longer. More misunderstandings. More mistakes. No one takes

> The ideal is ... Nope. That was perhaps the case in the 50-80s, but today we can do much better, and it's dependent on the people, the culture, and the market/product structure and strategy.

Very true, my deviance. But words change meaning and connotations over time. For me "dude" is a blank placeholder. I should of course take more care to see my text from the eyes and mind of the target reader. IIRC the 2004 bsg cal

Traditionally middle managers are added to facilitate coordination. Today we can expect more of our people, and we have great tools. When moving towards higher autonomy and transparent shared communication most of the coordination and commu

I've run distributed projects for a long time. Distributed is significantly more efficient for most situations. The main benefits can be gained in an on site environment as well, but is culturally difficult to implement since on site o

Tossing my 2c in the ring, this is how I usually hire new dudes[1]: - Ask the existing team for a set of dude recommendations, and the reasons. - Track down a set of dudes myself. Usually from publications, open source, or previous products

I guess this varies a lot. To my shame I don't have hard numbers (! I really should have.) Personally I've worked on a half dozen global research network projects bringing together both public and private funding and 10-15 organis

As a small sideline we've developed a new type of house that is CO2 neutral in materials over lifetime, low energy to passivhaus, very quick to build, and healthier to live in. Designed for Nordic climates but insulates just as well if

Try the walking games, like Firewatch, Gone Home, Ethan Carter, Edith Finch, Dear Esther? Dour though. Revolution (Broken Sword, etc) tend to have fewer puzzles outside the context of the story than Lucas Arts (Monkey Island, etc). Some of

Drag-to-hover and click-to-click is common on touch screens. Try out scummvm or the various remasters of adventure games for android tablets. Highly recommend Broken Sword, Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle, etc. Currently play Broken Swor

Add lots of light. Lots. Good for the soul and good for the eyes. Check the research coming out of China over the last 10y regarding eyes and light, and there are lots of studies on mood and light levels from the Nordic countries. Back in t

Droplet size is not generally determined by the disease. Droplet size distribution and air suspension parameters depend on humidity and temperature, as well as composition, salinity, etc.

I don't know the technical details of MinION. Coupling good capture with amplification and detection is required. When working on dna detection you use something like pcr for signal amplification. But surface detection can in some case

There are other ways to build ultra sensitive assay technology that does not depend on antibodies, and which can be faster to develop.

I worked on one of these projects. This technology has amazing potential for (near) real time detection and monitoring of the spread of airborne disease throughout society. Think shoe box sized air samplers in common spaces that send real t

I really hope you're joking. It scares me that distracting entertainment is preferred over advancement in reality. Remembering (true or not?) that we spent more on movies about extinction level impacts than on actual detection and prev

No. This is a myth. Check costs of various expense segments against net salaries and you will see how much certain areas have changed. Insane example: just the average cost of processing the legally required paperwork for partitioning and b

Only continue with a PhD if you really love research and learning. Even the best international positions are ridiculously underpaid and you will have to move around the world multiple times and travel way too much. I spent 10y in academia.
