COVID-19 is very likely only marginally spread by aerosols (I take this from Robert Koch Institute, Germany information [1]), approximately 10% by contact spread and mainly by direct transmission of droplets. Faceshield therefore protects f

DNA code (acgaa...) is not the only thing to be taken into account. Folding of DNA is just one more factor that influences outcome aside from raw code.

To me, what blows most comparisons and analogies out of the water, is the insane complexity to it all. That genes can influence and interact with each other. So gene expression (= gene -> protein) can change gene expression, e.g. based o

In my experience, users do not care about the other 3 points at all. Maybe setup/install but most get around it with 1 or 2 tips via chat. So your point stands: the real world has proven that 95% of people only care about that single p

Let's hope so. Honestly, Zoom is the preferred video conferencing software out there when it comes to UI/UX and performance. Grid view just being one major plus, no disconnects or issues in 4 weeks of home office so far. Meetings

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. The enterprise already has a Teams license which is part of an Office/Microsoft deal that they will of course continue to have. So Teams is there, will stay there and it works well but people are stil

This is hilariously wrong. I brought up Zoom issues at our enterprise client - no one gives a shit (this is in Germany, so rather privacy focused). As a consultant I felt a need to bring the issues up, backed with sources of course. So why

The substantial false-negative rate is also one of the reasons why covid patients weren't released from quarantine after a first negative test, since a single result doesn't pass the risk threshold. Multiple negatives in sequence

Don't forget the time pressure. It's a real balance act. The ideal panacea would be an already approved drug that is easy to manufacture, scale and distribute. If fighting covid means we need new drugs then we look at a long devel

Tank is inside a wall, sealed and no access. May you can take off the button panel but a hose wouldn't be able to go through there. All of the piping is in the wall and there is one faucet across the room.

The answer is you don't. I know people think I am missing something but I really don't. I have fixed toilets in other long term apartments before. This one simply has no access for a hose to connect to the bidet.

I edited a second after you submitted. No, everything is built into the wall. You have to destroy it to get to the pipes. Not even a "door" or some tile to open. It's all sealed away.

I have no way to supply the bidet with water, since the faucet is on the other side if the room and used for the laundry machine. I know splitters exist. But running a hose across the room is impractical... Water collector for the toilet is
