This is all true but unfortunately in our society we seem to have decided that no one could possibly be responsible enough to follow such a self-monitored schedule and instead the responsible thing to do is just tell people it doesn't

So I'm posting on mobile and can't find the link, but there was a literature review posted on reddit a month or two ago. It was a collection of some 1-2 dozen papers regarding smoking and risk of infection for COVID19 as well as S

What about those of us who are qualified in multiple disciplines? Do you know how students learn when they get graduate degrees? They read papers as primary and almost exclusive sources. Even coming from other backgrounds. And the nature of

So there's a morbid silver lining here. If this continues, as I expect since we probably won't release inmates in most places in the US, this will be a good test to see what percentage of recoveries acquire immunity and possibly w

We'd be in a much better position to opine if we actually knew what they were spraying. Haven't found anything online to that effect but I've been very curious.

I imagine lots of us are less productive because it's much easier to get away with not working. Remote work is great but let's face it, humans aren't naturally inclined to make money for others without accountability. Some of

The only German stories I can find currently are misleading in a different way. The headlines use words like "piracy" and "seize" when the text indicates legitimate market bidding. In these cases my point is the same - t

If the point is that cases are underreported, there isn't much of a difference between 20x, 30x, and 80x. The post was likely emphasizing that other studies have found even crazier numbers so 20-30x isn't unreasonable.

Compare publishing a book 100 years ago to publishing a book now. I can write literally whatever I want and self publish. Before there was more implicit vetting to all of the media we consumed. That people were talking about it being easier

Yes, and the spectral nature of autism makes it an easy mistake to make if it turns out that Asperger's is actually separate from autism. It's not like we know anything with certainty here. AFAIK there is known cause for either co

I've long thought that Asperger's and tail end IQ can be really difficult to distinguish. They may be one and the same. And unlike autism, Asperger's apparently responds well to the right stimulation. And I think programming

Now hopefully we can get a better estimate of the range of the latent period. That these cases are asymptomatic does not mean they won't show symptoms at some later date. It also does not mean they are invulnerable to reinfection, and

Too late to edit but this would explain the huge uncertainty in the dormancy period, early reports were anywhere from 3 to 20 days, this was the range that inspired the 14 day quarantine procedure. But if 80% of cases are asymptomatic that

We still don't know anything certain about the latent period of this virus. We also don't know if it remains dormant after an immune response, though it is not retroviral like HIV. Still, this 80% asymptomatic condition could lull
