I live in a pretty well established suburb. The first year I moved to my house, I had zero problems with Amazon deliveries, usually from FedEx. Somewhere along the way, they switched to their own drivers, and I started getting deliveries f

Yeah, I don't know what's the point of these studies that don't look at HCQ+zinc when the hypothesis is that HCQ promotes zinc absorption.

“ There is absolutely no evidence that HCQ or HCQ/azithromycin would have any effect on seriously ill patients with viral pneumonia.” Correct. that’s against the thought right now. HCQ is great at preventing patients from getting to th

Yeah, I agree. At best, I think it's people trying to help, but I doubt they'll get anywhere. I worked on an ML project for a hospital as late as last year. The FDA was clear - we could develop it in house and use it as a clinic

Side note, they absolutely manipulate their financial numbers. "No one believes China's numbers," my financial broker uncle in Hong Kong once said. No one really cared that much because manipulation, risk, and uncertainty is

You don't think calling China a "global leader" despite their awful initial actions is praising China?

by snapetom 7y ago
That's beyond recognition in that article. They're calling Beijing a "global leader." A response of purposeful coverup and suppressing dissenters is in no way showing leadership.

While social media has been more critical depending on the source, the mainstream media has definitely been carrying the water for China. https://twitter.com/KenDilanianNBC/status/124324375891486310... I think it&

Huh, TIL. The data center is not listed in the list of peering partners, but it's probably an appliance like the other user mentioned.

Yup. My regional ISP already has infrastructure in place for this. They cache the most watched Netflix shows for a period of time in metro-level data centers. "Otherwise, Netflix would kill our network," a friend said. It'

Oh please. When this is all over, the economy is going to come roaring back. Too many people, too much pent up anticipation in all sectors. American businesses will start looking to diversify their supply chain so this won't happen

Definitely agree, but at a certain point, WHO is going to be seen as crying wolf. They've already taken a large credibility hit in this crisis. They can't afford to ignore their perception in the age of populism and social media

The other possibility that few want to talk about is ADE, antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE). ADE is a slim possibility, but it would be devastating if it is. Basically it's when the virus uses white blood cells, which are supposed

The study uses relative humidity, which is affected by the dew point. While straight humidity is often consistent at least in the US, relative humidity fluctuates wildly. Relative humidity is what gives the muginess feel. Most of the US

> In summary, the testing early doesn't change the decision tree, which is stay quarantined for 14 days, until symptoms present or not, so little point was seen to testing until then. That makes a ton of sense. Thank you!

I have a hard time faulting the CDC for the response overall, but I just don't understand why they decided to make their own test at the beginning. Was it bravado? Did they think the 70% accuracy of the WHO test wasn't good enou

It probably is, or really just down to personal preference. Saccharin and Aspartame are awful to me, and I could never understand how anyone can touch it. Sucarlose I can handle it up to two packets. Three, and I get the same reaction as

Your English is fine. However, your first two papers seem to state ACE inhibitors makes ACE2 worse in terms of COVID-19. "Losartan increased plasma levels of both Ang II and Ang-(1-7), as well as cardiac ACE2 mRNA and cardiac ACE2 ac
