I've been using KDE for a decade and I completely agree. It used to be only better than GNOME because I could remove features from it and now I run completely stock KDE and it's solid compared to anything else.

The second person is more correct: https://www.uptodate.com/contents/coronavirus-disease-2019-c... UpToDate is what I use to manage patients, and is pretty good.

This isn't typically used even with the option of off label prescription.

Learned helplessness seems like the goal here.

I'm surprised that someone hasn't been shot yet. Unmarked camouflage officers in unmarked vans that do not identify themselves as officers sounds like they might get shot at if they try detaining the wrong person.

I tried to use Brave for a little bit, but it felt like I was apart of a meme. The browser is fine, but it felt invasive and awkward. I can't put my finger on why it made me feel this way; something was just... off. Firefox and Safari

Freedom of speech does not equal to freedom of consequence. What I've listened to people lately say is that when they engage in personal attacks they should be allowed to because "Freedom of Speech". Yet, the type of speech t

I'm hoping that lab grown meat takes off. I believe that this is on par with expanding solar power and electric cars in terms of combating global warming.

Culture negative pneumonia is a relatively common phenomena. It's also quite difficult to get adequate sputum cultures, but in this case where n=60 I'm skeptical that was the issue. There could be a lot of potential causes for thi

Is there a significant amount of Facebook employees that are actually planning on leaving? From my experience money talks. Many people will use the logic of "if not me it will be someone else" for their cognitive dissonance to wor

At the bottom it has hospital resource usage. It also includes what the resource usage of hospitals was, but it lags about a week behind the current date. That type of data is harder to get.

I'm wondering how good fo a marker this is. We've already had people with significant heart attack symptoms refuse to go to the hospital, so is a similar trend happening here with COVID? One thing I find a little suspect about thi

The cruise ships were a great Petri dish and so far it is believed that asymptomatic patients comprise 15-20%, but more research is needed. https://www.niid.go.jp/niid/en/2019-ncov-e/9417-covid-dp-fe-...

This isn't exactly surprising since NO is one of the main chemicals lymphocytes and granulocytes use to kill pathogenic cells.

I want to start by saying, I appreciate your curiosity :) I think my point above was talking about COVID. The specific example was where I was describing how at scale COVID was going to be a massive problem and have an increasing case fatal

Honestly, I never really thought that the 10,000 hour thing was that lucid to begin with. Certain things are mastered in hundreds of hours while others are "never truly mastered". When I say I learned of it, it was reading the New

I'm going to throw in my two cents as a medical student. There's no way that I could give you a lucid digestion of whether or not this paper has any significance after studying medicine for thousands to tens of thousands of hours.

We're talking about someone seriously increasing their likelihood for contracting a potentially life threatening illness. 5$ per potential exposure is not exactly that much considering the gravity of the situation.

In the US, that's all I'm comfortable saying. The people I said this to are at an institution 99% of people in the US would recognize.

Not at all. Good sanitation is going to prevent mainly oral-fecal spread of disease, but H1N1 (Swine flu is the most recent H1N1 pandemic) is droplet/airborne spread. Hand washing and physical distancing are key here. If you're as

Chernobyl was projected to kill millions. The top epidemiologists in the world projected in the most realistic scenarios that the death toll would have been in the millions prior to the quarantines. Both could have been prevented if people

My colleagues are out of PPE and now using scarves because we are so under supplied. CDC guidelines were just changed to allow staff to be exposed to COVID patients without properly protecting themselves. I was talking with some physicians

This one hits too close to home. I told a family member about how this virus doubles every ~5 days which means there will be over a million people in a handful of weeks if we do nothing to abate the spread. That's when I got their atte

Yes. You need usually an ED physician or CCU physician. We get taught how to do it in medical school, but that doesn't mean we're proficient. You need an ICU nurse level of skill to monitor the vent and it's an intense proces

Bingo, we need nonbiased blinded drug trials otherwise the data could be seriously flawed. There's drug trials for reasons, and even in this pandemic we should respect the rationale for why we established those trials. Also, I'm f

Do no harm. This is the first line for a reason and when we deviate from strong evidence we will always find regret. If you've talked with your physician and understand the risks, be my guest. Until we've done a double blind place
