That's one of the good things about the official recommendation from the CDC: it normalizes mask usage in society. Now when people wear masks (for whatever justification that person has, rational or emotional), at least they aren't looked down on as people who are in a hysterical panic...

South Korea as well as Japan, and the newly-reopened Wuhan all have widespread mask use. This is one of the few things about this virus that are not counterintuitive. There is solid evidence it spreads through droplets, perhaps even through aerosols. Increasingly strong evidence that a high...

Re-read the post. And comprehend it better this time around. You know, Reading and Comprehension?

Whatever. The double and triple standards around here amazing. As are the walk-backs, the logical fallacies, and the but-what-abouts. Ironic that you are preaching about subtlety, given your posting history.

Then don't claim you had it and got over it, and (presumably) can therefore disregard social distancing. For what it's worth, I also have a somewhat tenuous line of reasoning that would indicate that I had a mild case and got over it. But without an antibodies test, I'm not going to stake my...

Pretty sure? Show us the test results. We deal with contexts and facts that don't come from journalists around here (if the information from journalists happen to align with facts, then those are to be dismissed ad-hominem). No test, no facts, in which case you're blowing smoke out your ass.

And COVID-19 at 1049 is catching up fast. Kinda puts it in context dontcha think?

But wait, that can't be right. On 4/1, the daily fatalities from COVID-19 were 8x higher than influenza! Everyone here has been telling me that this is no deadlier than the flu! It's almost like that 0.1% for the flu vs 1% for COVID-19 is an actual thing... Kinda puts things in context...

I don't suppose there's a time mark where they stop shooting the sh1t and actually talk about how this might affect hypergamy going forward? I don't have two hours to waste watching the entire video...

Fair enough. To me it just smacked of an anecdotal home remedy without a lot of substantiation. I'll b1tch up and down about my ex all day, but one thing I do share is her view on Evidence Based Medicine. If your buddy's remedy had some evidence behind it, it would more likely to be...

This. ^^^ JFC I couldn't imagine being trapped with my ex 24/7. Not that COVID would have triggered that scenario, as she still works on-site as a physician. But one of the many paper cuts that bled me onward to divorce was rising pressure from her to retire early. That was a non-starter on...

Well, you said inner ear, which isn't your ear canal And upper-resp infections tend not to have the ear canal as a vector. That pesky ear-drum gets in the way. So it's unclear what alcohol in the ear canal will accomplish, other than perhaps loosen up some ear wax.

Found a last pair of dumbbells and an exercise mat at a Walmart today! They are a basic Gold's Gym adjustable: up to 40lbs, which is all I really need in a pinch. Don't have a workout bench, but for now I can use my piano bench (glad I bought the extra-wide version!). Anyone have a favorite...

How in the hell do you get cotton balls through your Eustachian Tubes? https://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/ear-infection/picture-of-the-ear#1

Heh, States' Rights... sure. I guess we'll have a Constitutional Crisis after all, just not what anyone saw coming.

With the past 2-1/2 weeks going into COVID-time, and then suddenly having to take on all the work of managing the boys' school routine (my house is "virtual schoolhouse", so they are now here M-F), I was way too distracted processing all the myriad aspects of this sh*tshow. Now that I finally...

So that I don't get banned for being a total troll (which if you look at my history, I'm not), I do have another data point to add for symptoms: pink-eye/conjunctivitis. There have been some retrospective studies that suggest viral conjunctivitis can be a covid-19 coindicator. So if you get...

Damned UK HealthCare, I don't believe ANYTHING they say. Even worse, this chart basically lines up with the one my physician-ex sent me to help me monitor my kids' health when they are with me. But, pshaw, why should I believe a chart that: Came from my ex, medical degree be damned Was...

And Jared Kushner (at least used to) own the property at 666 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan: https://www.businessinsider.com/jared-kushner-real-estate-company-666-fifth-avenue-2018-8 And that proves exactly what your thesis proves: nothing.

Just north of the Greater Boston Area.
