Relative term. Kids cannot go to gymnastics, won't be starting school in person . . . etc. etc.
Feels like a lockdown, even if technically it isn't.

That was my exact thought when I heard that the State Department was ending the blanket international travel warning. Almost no country wants us. We are a nation of pariah dingdongs, too stupid to follow simple rules to protect our own lives. And posters wonder why there is contempt for "other opinions".
That's a joke, right? They have ZERO active cases in New Zealand. Life is back to normal except for the economic disruption of having no international tourism.After the nucking futs stuff going on in the states, the wife asked if we could move to NZ.
Please tell me they are addressing things better than here.
Edit: I don't count quarantine cases.

Denial by numbers from r/knoxville (my local town subreddit)
all coming from Knox County COVID-19 Case Count - COVID-19 - Health Department - Knox County Tennessee Government divided by 470,313 (July 1 2019 census estimate)
Somehow he thinks this is a non issue because we haven't hit the peak yet, he just wants to whistle past the graveyard...

In a nutshell, ASYMPTOMATIC and SYMPTOMATIC patients in a Korean hospital that all were SARS-Cov2 had similar viral loads as measured by RT-PCR (quantitative testing, not the faster qualitative tests used for initial diagnosis).

Gotcha. Will add that to the chicken bones ritual we perform every night.
Perhaps this just means that you've transitioned from obsessing about battery degradation to obsessing about societal/cultural/political degradation? Unfortunately, it makes battery degradation look like a walk in the park. Perhaps we should go back to the first obsession?
I don't know about the rest of you, but I thought that the Orange Moron on the right is ever so slightly dumber than the one on the left. What did you see?

Newsweek seems to publish total rubbish. Comparing very population dense South and Central European countries to low pop Sweden. And then only showing new cases in percentages... Here is graph showing how well Sweden's tactic really worked:

A survey of existing Vitamin D studies. Gave reasons why there may be no clear results, but said it can't hurt since Vitamin D is useful for bone and muscle health anyway.

2 line summary for the lay person:
1) vitamin D deficiency can cause a relative immunosuppression
2) vitamin D excess (i.e. super doses of D) does NOT give you any extra immune protection. I.e. you cannot over-fill the tank.
I would add a third bullet point that is underappreciated namely that vitamin D deficiency causes "immuno disinhibition". Higher incidence of wide variety of autoimmune disorders, and higher vulnerability to sepsis, severe acute respiratory distress syndromes of various kinds, and cytokine release syndrome. I've read a lot of Michael Holick's stuff and I've heard him talk too. He's really first-rate. And a 4th bullet point might be vitamin D really isn't a vitamin. It's a prohormone / transcription Factor.
