He’s not threatening to de orbit the ISS. His point is only Russia has the capability of boosting the ISS (which it needs every so often because of atmospheric drag). Technically the Cygnus spacecraft has the capability to do this but I believe it’s 1. Not strong enough and 2. Launched with Russian ...

Internist here. I agree with this and JAFERD. Seizure unlikely given lack of post ictal period (confusion following a seizure). Hypoglycemia does not come on so suddenly. Vasovagal is unlikely to occur while sitting down unless bearing down like others have mentioned on a toilet. Given the pre-synco...

It’s going to be a PVC cap sticking out of the ground somewhere between your house and the road most likely. Open it. If it’s filled up with water,...
No one knows. The entire “space community” has been caught off guard. My best guess would be netflix has all the rights and is limiting what they show. Rumors are starting to grow in the void of information such as them possibly vomiting for the last 24 hours and they don’t want to show it. It certa...

40 years in practice means he has the same amount of experience as the rest of us with covid 19. With that said…I doubt his claim. This surge will be over. But covid will become endemic and be around for a very long time. ...
Thank you for service. Unfortunately convalescent plasma (what you donated) hasn’t worked as well as we hoped. Likely for reasons suggested in the article you linked that circulating antibodies drop dramatically after four months. I think that’s the origin of his comment, though he likely misinterpr...

[quote]Great - so you're saying "hospitals are full!" is a terrible argument for a mask or a vaccine mandate, and the data I compiled that shows zero correlation between cases and masks is what decisions should be based on.[/quote] I said nothing about masks.

[quote]After my sister had Covid, her doctor said that natural immunity + full vaccination is the gold standard and you can’t do better than that. Any truth to that?[/quote] Yes.
