According to Dr Charles Leung from HK (some high ranking public health official? Didn’t get his job title) - early numbers in pandemics are usually underestimated.

He called on preparing for a global outbreak, calling odds not insignificant. His live interview is on YouTube. He estimates 44k already infected globally.

There is a table circulating the internet that’s been eerily accurate for the last week or so. In both cases and deaths. I will try to find it and link to it ina follow up comment.

It predicts a million deaths in a month from now, based on the observed R0 of this coronavirus.

What are the two other companies? Lockheed and Tupolev?

When are you planning to release a mobile version that has import from Evernote?

a car that they might not even be able to drive.

I never understood why people consider equity to be essentially equivalent to liquid money.

At this rate, Georgism will be tried in Vancouver first, it seems.

Wouldn't it have to be huge to make a difference?

A large investment property would probably cost several tens of thousands of dollars in property tax per year? Not many residents probably pay that much income tax, what do you do with those?

nitrosamines are nasty stuff in general. I would not be surprised this ends up in revision of safe levels.

do you think its possible to find a job so full-filling it does not feel like a job?

It's not about toxicity, but tolerability limits and side-effect profile.

Some charts and data:

"Psilocybin administration to healthy participants: safety and feasibility in a placebo-controlled study"

"Poster presented at the 58th Annual Meeting of The American College of Neuropsychopharmacology, Orlando, FL, USA, 8–11 December 2019"

It's simple. Dentist A works M-T-W, Dentist B works Thu-Fri-Sat. This is actually already common with many GP doctors, they prefer to work part-time in a similar pattern.

Besides, they can, and do block time off for personal things in their calendar.

Is it really untrue? Seems there is something to it, although maybe not unilateral right, but certainly there some language around flexibility up to 3 hours in the Act.

Maybe some Finnish lawyers chip in here on the actual interpretation of this?

Section 13. "Flexible working hours":

"When working hours are flexible, the regular daily working hours shall be extended or reduced by a flexible period of no more than three hours."

Strange, especially for The Guardian.

Abstract of the actual paper:

Not entirely true. Pathology or radiology has nearly zero interaction with patients, and they bill quite high.

You could probably coast along in surgery as well on almost zero interpersonal skills.

If you can trust the news, he travelled on a French passport plus a Lebanese ID.

Medicine. Unfortunately, it involves very little programming, but it does requires quite a bit of skill.

You can go very far on essentially zero interpersonal skills, especially if you specialize in pathology or radiology.

1) I should've said the UK has a private tier for clarity.

You will get to see a private consultant a lot quicker, than the very same physician via NHS referral.

Quite literally you could wait months, or pay a few hundred and see the same exact person in a couple of days. In fact, when paying private - the private consultant himself will be treating you, vs. when on NHS - it will likely be his students/trainees that will be hands-on.

NHS hospitals are on a fixed budget, but of course cost controls means nothing - only putting patient interest first /s.

2) As for the insurance payouts - that was regarding systems where physicians bill on fee-per-service model, the most predominant setup in the US: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20467910

Almost certainly a newly issued Lebanese passport.

that has to do with two things:

1) our photoreceptors in retina have highest sensitivity to blue

2) blue photons are higher in energy than red (1.5x to 2x, depending on specific frequencies/color temps)

your macbook cannot turn off the keyboard's backlight?

This is most definitely not placebo.

Blue light is known to cause migraines even in the blind that even lack cones/rods: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4939697/

You should read that gervais principle from ribbonfarm.

The benefit is in punting off complicated case quicker, because the insurance pay out is the same, regardless if you spend 30 seconds or 30 minutes on the patient.

There is often nothing you can do to help anyway, but you can certainly bill 250 bucks every 5 minutes, and many, many do so.

In fact, some physicians will not even accept complicated cases, especially if they involve chronic pain treated with opiates, thanks to the hysteria around overdoses today.

And that is the reason why universal healthcare will fail, and why the NHS has a private tier, and routinely pays for treatments outside of the UK, done in private hospitals.

I thought his license was only pulled temporarily and was reinstated?

Did he end up permanently losing it?

Where do you think military R&D occurs?

They fund universities like anyone else. Yes, there is some internal research, but even in fields like math, where NSA probably does a lot of internal reseach, you still have classified top-secret research performed in public universities.

Lyme? You were able to clear long-term post-lyme with i.v. abx?

I am interested to hear what you have to say.

How is that controversial? That's just people for you.

Literally anything that contradicts your bosses position.

a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g

I've watched very experienced, top school trained MDs freeze up and begin to stutter, as they've just realized they said something their lab chief does not like.

Coincidentally, that chief writes treatment guidelines and consults the FDA, and is probably one of the most powerful physicians in the profession.

Medicine is a very hierarchical top-down command structure type of field.
