Yes. It’s ok for you to use the one you bought yesterday too. But first do what you can to help your neighbors and medical personal.

“ There are numerous places accepting mask donations right now.” Honestly asking where? I haven’t heard of that.

The goal is to become like Christ. To heal the sick, fight for righteousness, proclaim mercy, and sacrifice oneself for others even to the point of death. I recommend going and reading what Jesus actually said, not what pop culture equates

Who is planning to do that? Any info available on that? I understand the need for a proper study, just surprised we're not seeing more on this.

An alternative to your alternative: science and medicine still work. Let's try and make it better. The better we understand our situation the better we can react appropriately. Yes, it's really bad in a few places right now. It lo

Ask HN: Has any study been done doing a random sampling of a population using an antibody immunity test? It seems the natural next step given we have such a test. Until we do that, I feel like we have no idea of the actual infection rate an

No. Manufacturing is about process engineering. Knowing the physical components is only 20% of the work.

Agreed. My favorite quote: “ It shows that common sense is more important than we all thought. This situation is so new and complicated that the problems can only be solved by people who carefully weigh their decisions. Artificial intellige

I assume this location data is harvested by users who allow their located to be tracked by various apps (e.g. facebook, random apps).

The hammer and the dance article covers in depth what you described. We need near very high test availability, and intense tracking of cases. The lockdown just buys time. https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-the-h

If you’re healthy you could also reach out to a local shelter, neighborhood not for profit, charity or church. They may have needs. Also, don’t forget to socialize in whatever way you can. Skype your relatives, call your friends, send a let

Yes. The best way to build something. Use what you have validated already.

It’s helpful in this time to think of the total cost. If you have equipment already deployed where needed and people already trained that helps! We really need a whole suite of tests and so the more the merrier. Doctors and healthcare syste

To be fair, there’s a massive price difference between the bosh and roche machine.

Agreed. Also the Cepheid one is faster (45 minute for point-of-care results) and has FDA approval ... not sure other advantages/disadvantages of each system though (instrument and reagent cost, # deployed units, etc). https:/&#x2

Just speaking from my own expedience, I had advanced (jr year) mechanics before diff eq... but admittedly was taking it early. It was doable but tough. Greens function were new to me in grad school. Grad school mechanics had be learning mat

I'll echo the grandparent that learning diff eq at the same time as the subject (e.g. mechanics) is "par for the course" for physics programs. There's many times throughout the progression to Physics PhD where "yes

I have greater confidence in our research community. I think we’ll be back to giving hugs and handshakes pretty quick (<1 year).

Capitalism isn't the answer for everything we encounter in life. Being human is sometimes required.

I follow boglehead strategy. I’m riding this down and will ride it up. It’s an interesting ride but I’m not going to try and time anything. Still investing 70/30 s&p and bonds every 2 weeks. I’ve got lots of time left though (age 3

What about just letting it sit out in the sun for a couple days? Sunlight and warmth kills the virus. Would it have a negative material effect?

I’m design equipment and automation for biology labs. Much of my work is done at a computer and now I’m 90% WFH. Takeaways so far: - Remote meetings are better than 10 years ago. But still room to gain. - remote design reviews of physical

We of working age need to be thinking of ourselves a the rebuilders. Let’s get through this, support each other, and be doing everything we can to be ready to spring back into economic action when COVID gets under control. I think it’s enti

A number of reasons thats wouldn’t help anything: 1) there’s going to be a ton of point of care tests, in fact there already are. The bottleneck is FDA approval. 2) scaling up manufacturing of a device like this is HARD. It’s not some raspb

This has been my go to as well. Having the log scale is invaluable, as you can get a daily check on if the R value is changing yet (when it drops below a linear fit). I was excited when China was able to kick it. Looking forward to other co

Totally agree. That’s the number I’ve been watching most to get a sense of how many total are infected for different regions e.g. 1 death today = 50-200 people were infected 2 weeks ago.

The fun for me as a teenager was always in the painting and stories. I wrote a few of my own if I recall right. I think I actually played it as a game twice :)
