Iranians were the first to publish about the synthesis: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/rcm.7757 https://analyticalscience.wiley.com/do/10.1002/sepspec.1591c... I a…

The fact that it was invented in Russia doesn't mean that this sample was Russian made. Every decent chemist can produce that stuff. We were also shown powerpoint slides of Saddams…

Well, the US is since WWII meddling with elections in other countries. And not only that but actively toppling foreign governments. The few millions some Russians may have spent on…

I don't know what happened there but the official version leaves some serious doubts open. For example there was a long time talk of a "nurse" that found them. Only by accident it …

Anecdotelly, in Europe the countries worst hit by the virus have the most strict confinement: Italy, Spain and France. Makes you wonder if there is a correlation to Vitamin D insuf…

I had a smartphone that at some point started to randomly create touch events. Kind of like if you put it in your pocket while the screen is unlocked. I don't remember any physical…

As I wrote: Bacteriophage MS2 - 23nm : Surgical mask 89.52% filtering Tea towel one layer 72.46% filtering -> Thus still ~70% filtering of 23nm particles for the one layered towel.…

Homemade masks made of a double layer of tea towel cloth are not only protecting others but also protect yourself nearly as effectively as N95 masks. The original research was made…

Did you read the NPR article? The very first chart shows that there is a big difference between the various countries. The logarithmic scale allows for much better visualisation th…

> So if you are infected and not showing symptoms ie. not coughing/sneezing then arguably the mask is not doing anything. It prevents you from touching your mouth and your nose and…

Many people don't know they are infected and also there is not enough testing capability in many countries. For example Heidi Klum tired to get tested after catching a cold and it …

Again another article that doesn't even mention the use of masks and hand sanitizer. The cost of the epidemic now goes into the trillions, self-made cotton masks are cheap compared…

Heat at 56°C kills the SARS coronavirus at around 10000 units per 15 min (quick reduction). Hence I'd assume that boiling will be reasonably effective. Source: WHO https://www.who.…

The biggest challenge is to overcome the mental block of decades of onetime use masks that have to be disposed in incinerators and be produced by ISO 9001 certified medical factori…

I have to correct the number to 160.000 per week thus 23.000 per day. Source: https://www.zeit.de/amp/news/2020-03/18/corona-test-erforder...

The recipe in China was social distancing, masks and hand sanitizing. Somehow in China politicians understood the concept that germs coming out of your mouth and nose can be most e…

> The sun doesn't only rise and set once a year at the north Pole! Is this a joke? > Edit: -3 for correct science. Good work HN You have to explicitly say that you are a flat earth…

I can't find the source anymore, but the latest Roche AG systems are capable of doing 4000 tests per day. The last generation was 1000 tests per day. Germany also is doubling the c…

As the article states, India is currently doing 500 tests per day. Germany is doing 160.000 tests per day.

There seems to be a second virus in the west: DMTMW - dont mention the M word - M like mask. Purely looking at the data, the doubling of the infection rate in western countries is …

Please stop spreading this false information and have a look at the infection numbers in China. The masks stop droplets coming from your mouth and nose and if everybody wears them,…

I don't understand why we are not trying to interrupt the transmission vectors with masks and hand sanitizer like the Chinese do. They ramped the daily production from 10M to 100M …

> the potential energy requirement to lift up a certain amount of weight, and dividing by energy density and volume of current battery tech does not lead to a working jet any time …

> Funnily enough, that's exactly what you're supposed to do in a Porsche (assuming it is a rear engine 911). Unlike most cars, 911s will understeer (or correct an oversteer) when y…

The prisions are not state run but commercial entities. Thus there is a certain incentive to lobby for longer sentences in order to make more business. Occasionally they pay "commi…
