There is historical precedence. Some believe that Roosevelt was given cocaine before the ‘this day will live in infamy’ speech. He had a really bad sinus infection, and they swabbed his nose with it to induce a strong vasoconstriction and alleviate the symptoms for the speech, as the story goes.

I mean I was hoping but apparently no mid gate. Arguably, the midgate was the Avalanche’s most compelling feature.

They were able to collect enough virus to infect human cells in the lab. Obviously, they couldn’t test if there was enough to infect a person, but at least it was viable. 

You need one of these.

Unless they are also wearing goggles, it may not be enough.

Yes that link seems to support the idea viruses can be transmitted on planes. 

You do realize you are not using ‘green’ electricity, right? It is the same electricity from the same grid, unless they have run seperate lines connecting your house to the alternative energy station. The only difference is that your money goes to the alternative energy provider instead of the dirty energy provider,…

I remain skeptical as well. However, I felt it would not be appropriate to question the delivery guys financial decisions further.

I think the issue was in using the 44 cases in 1.2 billion statistic, without any scientific rigor in coming up with that number. I don’t think the part of the study with 300 simulated coughs is being called into question. Also, it was not clear if the 44 cases in 1.2 billion statistic was in the study or just part…

Yeah, it was silly because he could not pull into people’s driveways because of the size. He had to park on the street and walk to the home/building.

Since Jalopnik doesn’t agree to press embargos and keeps wrecking their press cars, I can’t say I am surprised. 

I had a pizza delivery guy pull up in a F-350 crew cab long bed diesel dually. I couldn’t help but ask how the fuel costs didn’t cut into his profit. He just said ‘it gets 22 mpg so it’s not that bad’.

I think the goal is to have EVs in every segment. If GM is serious about EV, then there is no way they would leave their best performing segment out of the mix. 

Maybe, though the Avalanche ones don’t get in the way too much. They flare out so they are wider than the bed.

I gave up on those tool boxes long ago. They are just magnets for thieves. Too easy to break into and walk away with. 

I’m not denying that. It was just a weird mix of states. NC is very middle of the pack and MI has had pretty stringent regulations.

We really don’t have great treatments for the flu. If anything, the treatments for severe symptoms of the flu vs COVID are about the same. If either one results in ARDS, the treatment is very similar. The difference obviously being the flu is mostly limited to the respiratory system where SARS-CoV-2 can also infect…

Most per 100,000? I mean TN is top 10, but that is not a list of the most/100,000. 

Everything I have heard from people in China says that the COVID numbers from earlier this year are easily off by a factor of 10-100. It got bad there. Also, the first cases were probably months earlier than reported.

Where are you getting this? At best, TamiFlu helps about 37% of the people with severe illness. It is not exactly a cure. Remdesivir is probably about as helpful, if given early enough. The flu vaccine does all of the heavy lifting.
