To add to this, there is a book called The Body Keeps the Score that dedicates several of its chapters to exploring the physiological consequences of trauma. Some of the changes ar…

I think it is about filtering. Even simple cotton t-shirt cloth is about 50% effective at filtering 23nm microbes. Definitely not good enough to give to a healthcare worker in a hi…

As opposed to public outcry from them saying masks don't work while countries with mask usage fare better?

Yes there is: https://www.consumer.org.hk/ws_en/news/specials/2020/mask-di...

That is exactly why I already had masks. I've kept a small stash since the Ebola epidemic.

I read a paper on this last week but I can't find it at the moment. However I recall them polling people on mask usage, and pre-SARS it was single digits percentage, post-SARS it w…

We could improvise them though. I know in Hong Kong they have asked people to improvise using layered paper towels and tissues because those are readily available nonwoven fabrics.…

I have been asking myself the same question. I think it comes down to two reasons: 1. Masks are in short supply and they believed they could save them for healthcare workers by con…

I will not be surprised if mask usage becomes normalized in Western cultures after this, just as happened in Asian cultures after SARS.

What you say is directly contradicted by the researchers at University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital, as detailed in my link above. Can you cite a study that supports your claim?

Agreed. The US surgeon general lied to the population about the efficacy of masks to try to preserve them for healthcare workers. It would have been better to ask people to preserv…

The people in at-risk groups are people too. You're acting like their lost lives don't matter.

Perhaps partition your hard drive then and dual boot? Then reclaim the Windows partition after the program is no longer needed.

Regardless of whether or not you are right, this is just not an appropriate way to respond to someone who has just shared a trauma. This is a case of "if you can't say something ni…

If they already have the batteries and they are this revolutionary, then why wait a year to give a demonstration? Surely a demonstration of such batteries right now would cause the…

I'm not the OP, but I use this one with similar results: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01FYWU2IS One of these days I'm going to have to rig up something to start the house fan wh…

Is this the same major EHR vendor that tells its customers to shut the system down and go to backups during the DST fallback hour? There were many potential patient safety issues d…

Wow reading this just brought a kindergarten memory for me. We had laminated apples on the wall, and if we were bad we got a worm sticker stuck on it for a week, we called it getti…

The left brain / right brain thing is wrong, but different functions of the brain are definitely localized. This is seen in studies of people with unusual brain damage, and sometim…

Actually I can't guess, go ahead and tell me which demographic do you think that is?

IMO at that point since you have to rebuild everything anyway, just rebuild it with a different vendor. No reason to stay with a company that treats you like that.

There is a huge difference between an organization saying they no longer want you as their leader and a government trying and imprisoning someone.

Disclaimer: I know nothing about Peruvian politics. But it could just mean each new administration jails and prosecutes the former administration.
