That's the science-snobby way of dismissing it.

This is no criticism, interesting comment. But... It's really fascinating that the HN crowd always obsessively needs to put a technical spin on any single topic posted, whatsoever.

Apparently, only people in relationships are allowed to enjoy working from home because you must be rotten if you're single but don't miss meeting office people. Some people need social interactions. It's their life blood.

In Germany we have "cold progression", so stacking tax brackets. If you earn 35.000€ it's something like (random numbers): 0-9000€ [0%] -> 0€ 9000-20.000€ [10%] -> 1100€ 20.000-40.000€ [15%] -> 3000€ Total = 4400€ So

This is a normal PCR test that you send in. It's the same as the ones you do in hospitals or airports and not a rapid-testing kit which delivers results within minutes on your couch. With the massive downside that it still requires pro

It would be far more effective to include taste/smell checks. The loss of these senses is a far stronger predictor for COVID than a cough.

BioNTech didn't get to perform testing regarding storage and is therefore giving the safe numbers. Might as well be possible to transport and store their vaccine at much friendlier temperatures - but since that isn't verified this

20 million doses are for 10 million people. Everyone needs two shots. Also, having the doses is one thing. Distributing and administering them is another. At least 30% of people will certainly refuse to get vaccinated as well, further compl

And even if it weren't Corona, you still experienced shitty symptoms and realized how much even "mild" Corona can suck. Two of my friends have it right now and they basically got a really nasty cold, not too bad. Others die.

The problem is TIME. Taking 10,000 IU for a medium amount of time will very very likely be fine. But due to fat solubility and therefore slow build up in the body, you are increasingly growing towards toxic levels over a long time. The body

But they won't be made unless someone is ready to bear the consequences. Those are decisions which have no all-positive outcome. Just a single point: climate change will devastate many of our coastal areas and that's where a huge

A PhD is slave work and exploitation as 'right of passage'. Afterwards, it continues with post-docs. It's all about names and prestige from here on. I saw enough of it to make me question ethics and morality in that space whi

Do you understand what statistics and populations are and that they go beyond your family? I have a connection to Bergamo, Italy and seeing them do triage (selecting who gets treated and who is rejected) last March/April was brutal. Yo

No, I am vastly more tired of people dismissing medical studies as "junk" they don't give a fuck about. People like you are the biggest problem in this pandemic, far outweighing the actual virus and its consequences.

If you don't show red flares and alarming data in any known scans your symptoms will always be reduced to "anxiety". It's a cop out for doctors, I'd say at least 2/3 of the time. Interestingly enough, previou

Yep, got a part of these issues after Epstein-Barr virus and especially > Doctors now blame all symptoms on anxiety! hits hard.

In my current project, we are basically coerced into pairing nearly 100% of the time and it takes active resistance not to pair on every single little thing like "remove this item from the list in the docs". Yep, it's that ex

Confirmed. I worked in immunology and people were attempting to model gene expressions and how genes influence each other's expression to finally determine T-cell plasticity. New cell types or pathways to become cell types are observed

Despite the overly inflated ego of many neurosurgeons, neurologists and neuroscientists we have no conclusive picture about the brain as a working system. We just have a few pieces of a puzzle and no idea what the overall image actually i

Out of curiosity, I brought this up to a professor in 2009. Examples were circulating online back then regarding Ambien and lock-in syndrome with similar temporary reversal effect. Got basically told off with denial and laughs. Experts oft

They are still scary due to the way they are portrayed to people. You could probably inject a million people with medical grade saline and still see some crazy reactions. Many of the long term issues described for COVID already messed up my

B cells carry the same DNA as all other cells. The difference between cell types is in what sections are functionally expressed (made into proteins that do their work). This is determined by a multitude of factors. Cancer cells typically ha

It's hard to talk about this because a) these cases are real and scary but b) these cases are proven outliers amplified by crazy fearmongering media and the likes of redditors who don't stop to understand statistics. What we nee

Yea it was likely but that's different from certain. So why this snarky comment? Do you feel superior to the world now?

Good luck. This is on a different scale. Likely, some folks will survive in safe zones but technology won't save us this time. Ocean acidification is really scary (and fast) on its own but it's just one out of many apocalyptic pro

I would suspect that your kids would have at least a chance of contributing to solving this crisis. Many people will have kids because that's all they can do with their lives and the kids won't get the (easy) chance to become a g
