I'm not really sure if I should continue sharing these EUA reports, or how detailed they should be. Anyhow, the CDC Emeregncy Use Authorizations are published at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/emergency-situations-medical-devices/emergency-use-authorizations , and the IFU documents...

P.S. to my previous post: the study done on the Munich group is at https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3551335 These were the only cases we had in Germany at the time. Because these were our first, this was very well documented by researchers; normally, the county health offices...

* The "patent" that is making the rounds has 40 pages of viral genome. If each virus is created independently by the human body, then why are they all so similar? * Viruses are genetic material that gets copied when the virus reproduces, and the copying tends to have a mutation now and then...

The point is to be able to treat the "cytokine storm", i.e. a runaway inflammatory reaction that cases patients' vitals to "crash" and then them to die. I have absolutely no experience with treating Covid-19 and I'm not a doctor, but I understand that when an ECMO is attached for severe cases...

On April 9th, the FDA issued an Emergency Use Authorization for a blood cleaning (aspheresis) machine that removes cytokines from blood plasma. The machine itself already existed for other blood cleaning purposes, but the manufacturer has now FDA approval to treat Covid-19 with it. There are no...

Page 50 f.: The third equation yields the surprising result that the centrifugal force possesses an axial component. [..] The fact that in nature we only have been able to observe a radial, but never an axial component of the centrifugal force can be brought into agreement with the results...

There are currently 51 clinical trials concerning Covid-19 registered in the EU, the database is at https://www.clinicaltrialsregister.eu/ctr-search/search?query=covid-19 The European Union Clinical Trials Register allows you to search for protocol and results information on: * interventional...

In an interview with New York Times journalist and Freakonomics author Stephen J. Dubner, Sandman emphasized "the most important truth in risk communication is the exceedingly low correlation between whether a risk is dangerous, and whether it's upsetting". [..] The following [outrage factors]...

:cool: This is the perfect response to argument from incredulity. When another FEer claims that Earth can't possibly travel through space at humongous speeds in 3 directions at once, I'll just copy this.

... and then some accuse everybody else of being brainwashed ;-)

In the first motion segment, he announces times with the movement of the Earth, which he later drops. You can see a pointer on the Earth gear in the overhead shot inlay in the lower right corner, and the 15° marks correspond to a full hour. At 6:20 it's 8 am, and I think I can see a sliver of...

I missed this when I read it the first time, so maybe it bears emphasizing. And this goes back to Galileo observing Jupiter and Venus through the telescope. Jupiter having moons strongly suggested a degree of similarity to Earth, and Jupiter could clearly be seen spinning. All of the planets do...

The assignment of a moving Earth is at first one of convenience. Historically, it stems from explaining the planetary motions as elliptical orbits focused on the sun, which makes them easy to understand. Rotating Earth is suggested by the proposition that all of the stars move in approximate...

The angular diameter of the sun is ~32'. At sunrise, atmospheric refraction lifts the sun about 34' under normal conditions. (Rule of thumb: the lift is one diameter.) Nautical twilight puts the sun at -12° (and you'd need that to see the hour of time difference, the horizon refraction only...

How did you reckon the four hours?

That is, at the very least, misleading? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight (I forgot this was a book!) Twilight on Earth is the illumination of the lower atmosphere when the Sun itself is not directly visible because it is below the horizon. At this point, the sun looks like someone took...

No, if the sunrise is minutes before the total eclipse is seen, the location is close to where the umbra touches down.Viewed from the sun, at sunrise the observer is on the left edge of the ball, and if the umbra is outside of that, it must be outside the ball, only to enter it shortly. But if...

But is 5G claimed to worse than 4G was claimed to be when it was introduced? or the other generations? Because the rhetoric and the quality doesn't feel any different than what it was when they first started putting up cell phone towers. Have the claims changed in any way?

Well, yeah, just havingt numbers isn't enough. There's no magic in them. ;-) If you're good at sociology but bad at statistics, you miss things.
