Yes, we have to use closed cases because we don't know the outcome of open cases and including them in the Total (denominator) without including the open cases that will result in death in the numerator will result in a mortality rate that is not correct (and lower than the true rate unless 100% of active cases survive).…

PubMed usually has medical journal papers. Another source for papers / articles from peer reviewed journals is Google Scholar.

I still suggest getting a c-peptide to be sure. As mentioned, adult-onset type 1 is often misdiagnosed as type 2 when the diagnosis is based on symptoms alone. Since you have hashimoto's, we can say for certain that you have the genes for type 1. It is a good idea to verify with a blood test.

I haven't had any skin issues from masks.

Welcome! 2 thoughts: 1. Which type of diabetes were you diagnosed with? Please ask your dr. to do a c-peptide test. It's common for adult-onset type 1's to be misdiagnosed as type 2 because the autoimmune response happens so slowly that the symptoms often mimic type 2 symptoms. It is also common for people with type 1 to…

I live in west TN and nobody here is taking it seriously. As to classes - my WFR certification expires in a few days and I haven't been able to find a class to re-certify yet. However, I was able to re-certify the BLS (it's required for all professional medical certifications, including my WFR). I did it as a hybrid class:…

Hi all! I've been pretty busy and not active here, but it's about time to make a mid-month mileage update:

This is the type of thing I've experienced when trying to eat plants again (which I did briefly a couple years ago). A lot of people don't realize that our gut biome takes time to adapt. Dietary changes are uncomfortable, in part, because our bodies haven't figured out how to optimize digestion with such big changes in…

Thanks for the mention. There are variations of carnivore ranging from a more lax (dairy, including high-carb milk is ok, sauces/seasonings ok, coffee/tea ok) to a more strict lion diet (beef, eater, salt). Many principles from keto will apply - electrolyte needs, for example. I did keto for a year and then switched to…

No, there isn't a spot for it. But of course we can attach something. She had suggested I could attach medical documentation if I would like, but didn't say it is required. Maybe the response will be that she wants a dr. note after I send it?

Sure... the argument isn't productivity, though. There just truly is no explanation of why she is opposed to it. Instead, just saying no. I'm sure she can't defend the reason and therefore is just avoiding it. I am going to try to fill out the form to request an accommodation and be clear about it. We know that…

I was WFH for almost 3 months. And I used my laptop screen plus an extra monitor I had. At the office, I had 2 monitors same height and better quality next to each other. Similar sith desk setup... just used a folding table. I didn't knownhow long, so didn't want to buy new stuff. Plus, I keep thinking I am moving, but…

Nobody uses video on our Skype meetings. In fact, when at the office, my computer is on the docking station and closed. I couldn't display video in that position anyway.

I haven't seen this posted... Short story is that previous Coronavirus exposure, some of which are just cold viruses, may help against this:https://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2020/08/04/science.abd3871?referringSource=articleShare

I see this often. Proven false, but they don't care.

This sounds similar to the common conspiracy theory that deaths are exaggerated by counting every Covid-positive person who dies rather than the method of death. George Floyd is a high profile example of someone who was positive at death and his death was NOT counted as a Covid death. When I ask people to name the deceased…

Yep, I live in TN and heard the comment a couple weeks ago "If you just drive by a testing center, you'll get reported as positive." Sooo much conspiracy disinformation.

For mine, it took 2 days for the lab results and another 14 days to communicate those results to me. 16 days total.

We saw reinfections already months ago in other countries, so it is a thing.

OH Gov. Mike DeWine tested positive ahead of a meeting with President Trump. With the White House testing everyone before they meet with the President, now 2 cases (both asymptomatic) have been found as a result. Gov DeWine and Congressman Louie Gohmert. Both might have continued infecting others if they had not been…

I'm not sure whether it originated from eating bats or not. It's a form of coronavirus, which is known to be zoonotic, and it is believed to have originated in Wuhan where there are wet markets. I'm not sure if anything more substantial than that exists. I've not visited any such wet markets, but the video footage I've…

I admit that I have a small amount of both kangaroo and python meat that I am saving for a special occasion.

I wish I were this fast without a mask even: https://youtu.be/13jDqvZGRKE

While I blame the parents for sending the kid to school, I also feel like there is some responsibility on the part of testing infrastructure. Test results need to be returned quickly enough to act upon them. "A few days before" - assuming is 3 days, that is not fast enough. We need to strive towards a day, 2 at the very…

I know where mine are, but they seem to have become smaller recently.

Guy did an interesting backyard experiment regarding effectiveness of masks: https://youtu.be/x6cTDGqcUpA

@missysippy930 I'm not saying you are wrong, but would caution about being too overtly political here. Having said that, I would remind that the last U.S. President did a lot better with preventing ebola from becoming a pandemic despite the higher R0 value (i.e. spreads more easily) and higher mortality rate. That proves…

Agreed. As to a vaccine, it's going to take time, but there is an ethical argument made to support reducing the amount of time it takes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIcEBLPpRds

7.13 miles this morning, was nice and cool. It was an enjoyable run today.

I think my races are one of the very few personal things I do talk about at work. When my grandpa died in April, I was WFH, but I did let a few people know about that in advance of potentially taking bereavement leave. If not for that, I wouldn't have said anything otherwise. In the end, I didn't take any time off because…
