Exactly. His whole proposal is based on the assumption that an attenuated strain imuunizes enough people long enough. This has been possible in other diseases. But for example not the common cold, and not only because many different virus b

A huge problem I see with this is that already circulating coronaviruses cause immunities as short as 3 months. While the SARS virus seems to cause much longer immunity (same for MERS), this may be linked to the strong symptomes that people

Wasn't this one of the reasons why some organizations lobbied against the extension on tld names? For example, in Germany we have lots of Fritz!box routers that are managed via 'fritz.box' which is now also a valid URL.

> Anything that flowers produces pollen right - so hmm. Technically, that may be right but is beyond the point. Very often, for alien species the local pollinators will not recognize the plant as such and thus ignore it. A prime example

Since restaurants are one of the major sources of food going to trash, I was wondering whether the current crisis would not actually have an opposite effect with more food being on the market. Sure, not all types of food but on the other ha

Which evidence? Do we have a continental control UK where results are the same? In my parents county, there is one village with 9 cases out of 800 inhabitants that has been put on full lock-down, nobody is allowed to leave the village. Unfo

8.000.000 by 100 is 80.000. And if the governor is able to somehow organize another 30000 ventilators in 3 weeks, your death count goes down from 77k to 44k. Or 11 times 9/11.

This so much! The technology to built such a vaccine will not be that complex, its only the information about what works and is safe that is expensive. Who ever thinks otherwise has no idea of how big pharma works and why it is expensive.

But that could be said about any disease. As is, it is mortality given that you have symptoms which is a pretty good measure to have. For everything else, you need some many more parameters, better tests etc. Even a test for antibodies in b

If you built a house just for growing plants then yes. If I grow a few veggies in a green curtain at home in the kitchen window where I am not even there 90% of the daylight time, then no. Also, I am growing radish and salad in the attic ri

You mean "basically free" as in 10ct/kwh (the price HinkleyPointC in the UK got guaranteed). While most renewable sources on the market get guarantees in the range 2-5 ct/kwh. Even Power2gas2power seems cheaper at this p

23&me most like will not help you there as they are only looking for relatively well known mutations and not de-novos. They are basically scanning a few (or less) million variants but there are billions of possible new ones

A lot of people have come to the conclusion that lots of space in the house is not really luxurious but just space that you have to keep clean and pay the bills for. I know a few middle aged couples who begun to regard 800ft² of living spac

Well, historically it did by sterilizing water. Also degrading alcohol gives you energy and may make you socialize more which might be good for your mental health. Directly benefitial? Probably not.

Most people think similar when that is still far away. However the closer you get, the more likely you are going to think: 'Nah, its not that bad yet, lets wait another 5 years, lets wait another 2 years, lets wait another 6 months&#x2

In Berlin (not exactly a techhub so about 100k for a good engineer), they are currently selling a plot of about 2 acres (8500sqm) for 1.5M (plus cost of a good new house ~= 300k). About 30min by public transport to city center. 40min to the

Of course we do not know exacty but there are multiple levels of evidence now that chimerism is very rare. One example would be cancer sequencing were you compare DNA from the cancer to a control tissue. I haven't heard of any of those

Not with the current airships since they are all 'swimming' with helium and we there is by far not enough helium for that on this planet. Hydrogen based would be different story but thats how the first era of the airship ended. Ed

I agree that airships will never directly replace with airplanes. However, historically airships reached 100 - 160 km per hour which is gets you to about 2 days for a transatlantic flight. Thats about a day more than a flight today but give

It would be awesome if you could do this is a cowshed. Add a stripe projecting light source in the resting area so cows can ruminate with less disturbance.

However, one could also argue that the majority of the nation does not have the luxury to spend a single day traveling, so going by sleeper train is even better. I recently had a business trip to Switzerland and took the sleeper train from

But that's just a convenience issue. There are some many other plastic bags still around that may not be as flexible as the generic fruit and vegetable bag but can still be used for most types of waste. For example I have been using ce

The point you are making is great in regard that using a newly made cotton bag is obviously quite wasteful if you could just sew close the neck and arm holes in a larger old t-shirt you no longer use, add some handles and be done. I have go

The concept of a species is historic and has no equivalent in molecular biology. It was established in its basic form more or less 250 years ago when evolution wasn't even a real concept yet. Sure, it has been adapted in so many ways b
