How about no, control freak.

Of course not if limited to strict, inflexible ideological dogma, but the net effect serves the "higher" goal via realpolitik: Make government the "enemy" to be destroyed like how Reagan believed or like how libertarians wish

That's the intended point.. mismanagement to form a self-fulfilling prophecy to justify and destroy government to allow more corruption and theft by the 1%; the libertarian wet dream.

Assuming, on the off chance, that this isn't some sort of quack treatment ploy, anything that works significantly would be a plus.

I'm on my 13th antidepressant now that is yet-again not working well and I'm starting to wonder if my condition is inflammation-mediated rather than receptor- or neurotransmitter-caused as only mirtazapine (also a powerful antihistamine) ever helped me significantly, but only for a limited time.

Let's be honest: owls are birb ninja assassins.

Wear a reliable mask, fitted properly and remove it properly.

Also, wear indirect or non-vented eye protection, or you're that gate on a road without a fence that the virus drives around.

Finally, think carefully about airborne persistent micro-droplets, fomites and personal sanitation.

To manipulate people against their own interests to supposedly "save" PPE for HCWs, even though HCWs often get PPE from different manufacturers and distribution channels. Dishonesty and bad advice defeats the whole mission and purpose of public health organizations.

Just like the 1880's: conspiracy theories, rumors and Alex Jones' snake oil panaceas. The world is headed to another Dark Age at this rate.

That's a sweeping over-generalization. I said find a good textbook.

So the financial equivalent of being beaten and dragged off a plane. Airlines couldn't be anymore customer-hostile unless they needle behind the ear, shrink-wrapped people and threw them into piles like rolls of carpet.

Stop giving bureaucracies evil ideas to torture us and waste even more of our time. ;@)

In the future, I want a drone with a replicator to land and make the shipment of products right in front of me. :-P

I just learned cooking white and brown rice together doesn't work because the white rice will keep absorbing liquid until it's saturated, leaving hard/uncooked brown rice. Whoops. Haha.

Biggest "duh" ever. Daddy issues and mommy issues are nuanced but create similar patterns of damaged/altered behaviors in later life. Anyone who's done dating seriously becomes effectively an investigative psychologist to screen-out unhealthy candidates that would end up creating drama through their recurrent maladaptive/negative-attention-seeking relationship patterns.

A good ER database textbook illustrates normal forms much better than a blog post.

Firstname lastname is too fragile and oversimplified. Suffix, prefix and a variable number of middle names/initials can also be necessary. Occasionally, legal name vs. nickname is also needed. But if there's no pressing need for grouping or sorting by surname, why piecemeal any of it out?

I would bet scraping from Amazon, reducing prices randomly from 20-50%, and being sure search engines and aggregators see it, i.e., Google/Google Shopping.

Yes. Defense-in-depth. In China, most hospital red zones required 3 layers of PPE, whether that's two masks and a face shield or such. One layer alone is not very good, and a face shield alone is no good. A mask and a face shield are very good, especially for confined spaces like subways and busses where there are jerks coughing and sneezing all over without hygiene or manners.

Strawman and wrong.

This is an inconvenient fact because most HNers tend to be wealthy or upper-middle class, first-world and myopic to their limited filter bubbles... and so utopian anarcho-capitalism and Austrian school economics seems meritocratic, functional, justified and superior to everything else.

Also beware of phony Magento sites that don't have actual products, but are just trying to get CCs, PayPal or crypto payments.

An exercise in false hope, futility, ostensible charity, and virtue-signaling. Ventilator manufacturers have solved numerous issues including reliability, durability, noise levels and loop hygiene (as well as possible). Automotive engineers don't know what they're doing compared to ventilator engineers. Maybe they should stay in their lane rather than squander attention, time and money on something that is inherently dangerous to public health.

Chiropractors are worse than fortune tellers. Their whole industry needs to be banned for fraud and making unfounded health claims.

- I would not rely on data from the US because only serious and critical patients who were tested by public health departments are counted. Private lab results and "mild" cases go uncounted. Furthermore, not every COVID/ILI death is being tested or counted either.

Ignore the rtPCR test result data because SARS-CoV-2 still isn't a mandatory report condition (which is ridiculous) and so private labs don't report positive (or negative) results to any government regulators. The majority of tests are currently being conducted by private labs for people with insurance and only mostly critical cases are being tested, so basically no one infected is included in the statistics. The only ones being tested by the county are typically homeless, undocumented or other people who show up critically-ill to county hospitals.

Santa Clara county is about 2-3 weeks behind NY, which means the peak there will be roughly in 4-6 weeks. It's going to be a major disaster and emergency healthcare will be essentially unusable until mid June.

Stagflation ahead.

Get ready for 'stagflation'

Also, the US unemployment numbers are highly-politicized and manipulated. For one, they fail to account for the labor force participation rate, livable wages, employment hours desired vs. actual, having to work multiple jobs while being unable to save, or not/having healthcare.

It requires finding a supplier who has the exact or comparable part. Joe's has them although they're used but they do have long lives.

Your assumption is wrong. You can buy replacement batteries that are pulled from good products, unfortunately there are no new parts.

Maybe. Similar to drug testing an entire city using sewage.
