... Americans wear their shoes in the house? I'm a (non-white) American and this is news to me. Whenever someone comes to my house, or I go to someone else's house, people leave their shoes at the door. I thought this was something that pretty much everyone from every part of the world did.
Most definitely not. It depends on the household or how clean inside is itself. Usually you tell by context or just knowing the person whose house you're entering. Personally here in Michigan at my house right outside Detroit shoes are taken off if you are going inside to stay. If you're grilling or doing yardwork or moving from the front to the back (no path but thru house currently) they stay on. I'd never keep the…

#136HSV always seemed particularly poorly understood in the society to me, e.g. with many people getting it as children due to careless parents/extended family, and the benign branding of "cold sore" as if it is related to a cold. Given that the vaccine for 1 or 2 has proved to be extremely challenging, always wondered if the public simply being more well-informed on this topic could help reduce the incidence in the popu…
> careless parents/extended family > benign branding of "cold sore" This is a dangerous, hurtful opinion and you need to be downvoted. No one is to be shamed for this virus. A third of teenagers will acquire HSV-1 during childhood from simply putting things into their mouths. There is no way to prevent this sort of transmission. [1] Most of the world's population has the virus. [2] Given these odds, you probably have…

I don't believe my original comment was wild conjecture (although it did lack a citation how I arrived at the hypothesis), but in keeping with your ideals as it relates to putting forth a thesis in a public forum: > We believe that HSV1 is a major contributory factor for Alzheimer’s disease and that it enters the brains of elderly people as their immune system declines with age. It then establishes a latent (dormant)…
Ah, you're probably right. I'm sorry, I believe I misunderstood. Well it would be great to figure out a vaccine for HSV-1 and HSV-2.
