It's been well known that old ageis a big risk factor for Covid-19. I have looked at the data included in the article, and I don't like it. Their table 2 has two percentages apiece, one is the fraction of total cases, and I've calculated the raw numbers from that. Two columns are off by 1 on...

pandemic.internationalsos.com tracks the international health situation; their business model seems aimed at business travelers. They have a fairly extensive collection of worldwide information. Here's their current data on the US: Travel Restrictions International Restrictions: US nationals...

The mistake is mixing years. 12% and 22% are the rates of the assessed contributions for 2020, but your dollar amounts are for another year. And as I said previously, the assessed contributions are the smaller part of their budget. In previous years, US contributions to the WHO (assessed and...

If you want to do your own lag charts (perhaps with logarithmic y-axis?), you can download a spreadsheet with all the data at https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/publications-data/download-todays-data-geographic-distribution-covid-19-cases-worldwide There's a row with date, new cases, new deaths...

Those were more innocent times. Today, there is an agenda behind calling this disease not by what it is, but by where it was discovered, and it's revolting to me.

Has anyone mentioned Tomas Puyo's medium.com article yet? I think it (or reasoning like it) was instrumental in precipitating the measures adopted by Germany on Monday, with other countries to follow suit. It's a long piece with many graphs, trying to teach that a) there's a large number of...

That's just half the story. The voluntary contributions outstrip these "assessed contributions" (the "membership fees") by 3 to 1. You can look them up here: https://www.who.int/about/finances-accountability/funding/voluntary-contributions/en/ Here are some excerpts from 2017: Bill & Melinda...

Yeah, but it's supposed to work like the CT inserts, pointing everyone to reliable information who watches anything on the topic. The problem with masks is that it's hard to use them correctly and effectively, and that we don't have enough of them to go around anyway. (Did you know you also...

While that is certainly possible, German cases have been imported from all over the world, especially Italy. Personally, I feel that the public response to the crisis has been better (read: more informed by epidemiological and medical advice) at all levels in Germany than it has been in the US...

The basis for the reports is the "Infektionsschutzgesetz" (infection protection act) of 2001, it requires doctors to report a slate of infectious diseases to the local health authorities, which pass it on to the states and ultimately to the RKI (Robert Koch Institut). Cases have to be reported...

The virologists at the Charité in Berlin had developed a test by January 16th. The health agencies associated with each county are headed up by doctors with training in epidemiology and have been tracing contacts of every confirmed case, and testing those as well, so I expect they have found a...

There's an interview and transcript posted on February 21st on ae911truth.org where Mick Harrison of the Lawyers' Committee For 9/11 Inquiry describes the then state of proceedings, after the failed phone call: So, because of that, unfortunately, we were forced to file a federal lawsuit in the...

Mie scattering causes glare, because it is highly angular. Some types of scattering are also sensitive to polarization. http://www.iup.uni-bremen.de/~luca/? download=01_LL_VO.pdf Here's video of cars in fog, which has motion and concentrated moisture that, on a less foggy day, would be...

Good point. Official confirmation: https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/information-needed-to-file-e-postcard Completing the e-Postcard requires the eight items listed below: Employer identification number (EIN), also known as a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). Tax year Legal name...

I found them in the IRS database via their EIN (thank you, @Oystein ). Their 2017 form 990-N is not online, so presumably has not been filed, or not been processed? https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/tax-exempt-organization-search

when the Earth travels around the sun, its tilt does not change. It always looks in the same direction. (This is why we have summer and winter, because sometimes the north side of Earth is tilted towards the sun and sometimes the south side, as the Earth moves around the sun with unchanging...

Thank you, @Mick West and @Rory . I had been looking for a lengthwise shot in the video, but didn't notice this one. You both show the wire to be reasonably straight, and Rory shows there is a horizon curve to seen, via the simulator. My understanding is that for the panoramic shot to display...

williamlynn said: I am looking for a formula to calculate the deflection(sag) in steel wire that is supported between two points with a known tension. I want to be able to calculate the deflection(sag) at any point along the wire. Well it depends upon a lot of stuff, like the properties and...

horizon drop is the same in any compass direction, panning can not amplify it in any way if the camera does not change height. even taut wires or strings sag, which a "billiard queue" lengthwise shot along the wire would probably have revealed. With knowledge of the tension, the sag can be...

Do you have any evidence that they're handling it the unethical way instead of the ethical way (declaring it as executive compensation)?
