I love all the comments like this. It sounds great. But they all reference such tactile experiences that I’m left thinking, “huh, I might buy this, IF I could try it out.” Where does one do that?

Same here. I’ve been going for some video game-y escapism the last few days, and finding every other game I load has some sort of Infectious apocalypse built into the premise (Dishonored, Division 2, They Are Billions).

No. It’s a low bandwidth communication medium which, because it is asynchronous, allows for more calculated choice of presentation (eg, Instagram).

I am not a school-age person, and my mother is not a teacher. Additionally, our region’s schools haven’t closed, causing furor. I’m going out on a limb and saying that’s not where it’s coming from, at least in our context.

What is funny is that is not at all my experience right now. The only people I see using the phrase “out of an abundance of caution” are the ones who are massively under reacting, but want to be seen doing something. For instance my gym jus

A lot of folks seem to be confusing the confinement period of two weeks for something else. My mother asked me today, okay, so I’m stuck in the house for two weeks, and then I go out to the mall and get infected then, don’t I? I had to expl

As a pain specialist, I ask you to strongly incorporate one more element: Make it ridiculously easy for the patient to put your docs in touch with (other docs). At some point they will land in the hospital, and ONLY having your doc talk to

Hospitals worry about many microorganisms besides the coronavirus. It would be unwise to encourage the growth of bacteria and fungi to arrest one virus that can be controlled in other ways.

Any chance you recall the name of the short story? Your link was a fun read, but disappointingly not the story you described!

That doesn’t mean they have somewhere they can go home and still commit to studying. Some folks will go home to places with their own bedrooms, or even a family study, or a good local library. Some will go home to nothing like anything of t

It seems you’re getting heavily downvoted. I think it’s because CPU and memory are not missing.

Have you used that site in the past? I see a lot of listings saying something like “24 ea” to describe a lot of 24, but can’t find what the ea means. I’d think it might mean “bid is per item,” but that makes no sense (I’m seeing bids at mul

This is the Internet, and you are anonymous. Your “personal experience” has precisely zero credibility for asserting the existence of facts.

The epic approach gets a lot of hate from a vocal minority. Everyone else has had multiple storefronts for a while, and having -one- more is borderline meaningless. As long as they don’t jack up the price, how many people give a shit which

You’re correct there’s not a lot to be done for the virus itself - in that situation, care tends to become about protecting the various organs suffering in the process, to get the patient through it. For example: a patient presents with acu
