I think everyone is sick of hearing about COVID-19, but hitting your information saturation point is not the same as a disease becoming endemic. The virus is objectively not endemic yet, as demonstrated by the overwhelmed hospital systems.

My question/comment was not intended to spark discussion about the efficacy of ivermectin for covid-19, just confused at the classification of ivermectin as a protease inhibitor. I don't think most doctors, pharmacists, or epidemi

Can you talk more about the air quality situation? What'd you find from the monitors, what did you do to remedy it, and what changed once you fixed it?

Satire :) My point is that we shouldn't let private companies act as the protectors of public safety, and should rely on the government systems that were originally designed for that purpose. If Tesla doesn't feel their software c

I have a few problems with your comment. First, how do we know that FSD is safer than most drivers? From Tesla's marketing material? Who are they comparing to: the general public, or a matched control group? How are defining safer: num

Maybe we should have some sort of certificate that you can get from a government body that demonstrates you have sufficient knowledge of laws and practical experience to be allowed to drive. And if you repeatedly demonstrate you're not

uBiome— you’d send fecal samples to them and they’d sequence and tell you what bacteria you have. They claimed to have clinical value and started billing insurance, before eventually being raided and shut down for something along the lines

This comment exemplifies my point. Faxes are common in healthcare, and it's a common punch line from newcomers. But there's a series of standards that have been iterated on since the late 80s/early 90s that are finally gettin

Quality measures are generally well-defined by external authorities, so questions like "what defines uncontrolled" are generally answered. Even when providers personally disagree with this (I worked with a provider who didn't
