Fascinating post. Why did the author steep the tea at home? "It was at this point I realized I needed a sterile-ish way to transport the steeped tea and tea bags from my house to the lab." Was steeping the tea at home somehow relevant to the experiment?

I want this mutation. You have little nano-crawlers going up and down your DNA strands fixing problems. It’s like ECC RAM for the essence of YOU. And you’re basically immune to cancer.

/Is that a transporter energizing I hear?

Probably frowned on to bring in food stuff and make it in a bio lab.

> There are a few countries that didn't do that (Sweden comes to mind) and they ended up not having a much worse outcome than anyone else. I have no doubt Sweden did better than say sub-saharan africa. But it seems to me that only their neighbors are good comparison and they did worse than all of them. Norway 1,050 deaths / million Denmark 1,696 deaths / million Finland 2,058 deaths / million Sweden 2,812 deaths / mi…
Well, if you are asking for my opinion, the gun stuff in the US is so stupid it could be considered a mental illness. I don't disagree with your points at all
Re: Sweden - according to the article you listed, Sweden is on par with the rest of Europe, worse than other Scandinavian countries, and much better than the Balkans.

> antibiotics prophylactically Ticks are pretty bad nearby in WPA, I've taken antibiotics prophylactically for them.
What about ivermectin? I've taken ivermectin prophylactically when traveling because I'm afraid of bed bugs. Pretty sure you can do the same with ticks. Just stop by your local farm supply store and pick up some of that nasty apple flavored horse paste. Just make sure you dose it right. Easy to do. Absolutely disgusting.

It is in fact how Deinococcus radiodurans works: Deinococcus radiodurans has a unique quality in which it can repair both single- and double-stranded DNA. When damage is apparent to the cell, it brings the damaged DNA into a compartmental ring-like structure where the DNA is repaired, and then is able to fuse the nucleoids from the outside of the compartment with the damaged DNA.
However, to bring it full circle, Deinococcus radiodurans does not form spores!

Yes I stopped reading there after checking the source myself and seeing the same discrepancy. I had also noticed earlier in the article she wrote, "This finding was great news for Napoleon. The French were losing money, and perhaps more alarmingly, their reputation, exporting wine to the British – the wine would “spontaneously” go bad during shipping." Pasteur was born after Napoleon was exiled. Maybe she is referrin…

Wait is that individual doses? Like one prescription would commonly be for 20-30 doses.
It's probably just as the CDC document says: number of prescriptions. If you are told to take it for 3 weeks thrice a day and later in the year a second time, that's two prescriptions (per my non-native understanding of English medical terms anyway)
