“So far, most trials that have compared COVID-19 mortality between jurisdictions with stringent lockdowns against those with more liberal approaches have not demonstrated any mortality reduction from the more stringent policies,” he said.
That's bollocks. Even when this article was published it was bollocks. There was evidence from all around the world that lockdowns work.

Evidence is mounting that even tiny amounts of intense exercise can aid health.Credit...Getty Images9. Comically brief weight training could make you stronger.In a small-scale new study, men and women who contracted their arm muscles as hard as possible for a total of three seconds a day increased their bicep strength by as much as 12 percent after a month.They repeated this routine once a day, five times a week, for a month, for a grand total of 60 seconds of weight training. It changed their biceps in ways that were slight but biologically meaningful, especially for people new to weight training.The findings add to mounting evidence that even tiny amounts of intense exercise, like four seconds of strenuous biking or 10 seconds of all-out sprinting, can aid health.
I'd like to explore this hypothesis a bit more. With my new limitations on mobility, this type of therapy could potentially lower my rate of atrophy.

That's because of bargaining power. Government programs, like Medicare and Medicaid, can ask for a lower price from health service providers because they have the numbers: the hospital has to comply or else risk losing the business of millions of Americans.
Big public sector drives health-services prices down.
Do they perform better or worse in the long-term on cognitive tests? Do they have more or less inflammation? Do they need less recovery sleep over time?
this is a great question - reminder to self to do more research on this
Someone in r/BipolarReddit asked: How many do you sleep when stable vs (hypo)manic? Depressed?
While this is interesting analysis, I wonder if it's close to the best data we have on this.
Personally as a bipolar person, I can say this definitely correlates with my experience! You could maybe add my experience to the data: + Severe mania - 0-3 hours avg (often in involuntary naps) + Hypomania - 1-5 hours avg (w/ all-nighters) + Elevated/sub-hypomania - 5 hours avg + Stable - 6-8 hours avg + Depressive - 8-10 hours avg + Severe depression - 10-16 hours avg
Think about sleep 10,000 ago.
while this is a good list and a valuable thought experiment, it also misses the features that made sleep 10,000 years ago easier and more effective: + Far better diets on average than Western person + No blue light / constant digital stimulation + Extremely active lifestyles with lots of exercise, makes sleep easier + Natural attunement to circadian rhythms that comes with waking up & sleeping w/ dusk & dawn + Lower stress and lower levels of psychopathology on average? Better resilience to stress? + Other things
This may explain why we "need" the hyper-comfortable modern sleep, more than we used to need it
Modern sleep, in its infinite comfort, is an unnatural superstimulus that overwhelms our brains with pleasure
This sounds a bit hyperbolic, unlikely a scientific paper would use this language. Also unclear what it means for brains to be "overwhelmed with pleasure," or what objective scientific criteria for what shows something is a "superstimulus" are.
Most of us (including myself) eat a lot of junk food and candy if we don’t restrict ourselves. Does this mean that lots of junk food and candy is the “natural” or the “optimal” amount for health?
great question: fallacy of using our natural / evolved / unrestricted tendencies as "optimal health practice"

Nursing professionals are facing with severe sleep problems during the covid 19 pandemic time. Nurses were asked to work in an environment that had a more increased level of risk than ever before. Depression and anxiety from the workplace could affect the confidence of healthcare workers in themselves as well as general trust in the healthcare system. This will lead to their turnover intention which may undermine the efforts of the governments to control the COVID-19 pandemic. The rising concern may change the working schedules of healthcare workers, offering more occupational healthcare support.

“When I moved to Kansas,” Roberts said, “I was like, ‘holy shit, they’re giving stuff away.’”
This sounds great, but what are the "costs" on the other side? How does one balance out the economics of this sort of housing situation versus amenities supplied by a community in terms of culture, health, health care, interaction, etc.? Is there a maximum on a curve to be found here? Certainly in some places one is going to overpay for this basket of goods (perhaps San Francisco?) where in others one may underpay. Does it have anything to do with the lifecycle of cities and their governments? If so, how much?

Nigg said it might help me grasp what’s happening if we compare our rising attention problems to our rising obesity rates. Fifty years ago there was very little obesity, but today it is endemic in the western world. This is not because we suddenly became greedy or self-indulgent. He said: “Obesity is not a medical epidemic – it’s a social epidemic. We have bad food, for example, and so people are getting fat.” The way we live changed dramatically – our food supply changed, and we built cities that are hard to walk or cycle around, and those changes in our environment led to changes in our bodies. We gained mass, en masse. Something similar, he said, might be happening with the changes in our attention.
Obesity is a social epidemic and not a medical one. It's been caused by dramatic shifts in our surroundings in the past century. Food is cheaper and more abundant. It's also been heavily processed and designed to be fattier, saltier, and higher in carbohydrates. There is less encouragement to physically move our own bodies whether by walking, bicycling, running, etc. Our cities have become more driver focused. Our lives have become much more sedentary.

The next generation of farms are indoors and vertical. “Vertical farms” work like parking garages. Many don’t use soil; they use materials and sensors that mimic natural environments. Because they can operate 24/7 and recycle water, the efficiency is f*cking ridiculous: 350x the traditional farm harvest with just 1% of the water.
It would be critical to research nutrient density. Since, as food grows larger, it has lower density of nutrients to calories. We could wind up producing 100x the amount of food, but will it have the same amount of nutrition?

Την εικόνα συμπληρώνει η εντατικολόγος Χριστίνα Κυδώνα στη συγκλονιστική περιγραφή στιγμών από την εφιαλτική προχθεσινή εφημερία στο «Ιπποκράτειο» Θεσσαλονίκης, όπου μεταξύ άλλων καταγράφει: «Κι εκεί που ξαναρίχνεις μια ματιά στους θαλάμους να δεις αν κάποιος πέταξε τη μάσκα του μέσα στον ύπνο του και κινδυνεύσει, συναντάς τον συνάδελφο της διπλανής πτέρυγας, που παλεύει ένα περιστατικό με οξύ έμφραγμα, βαριά πνευμονία covid και διαβητική κετοξέωση με pH 6,9, τρία θανατηφόρα συμβάντα σε έναν άρρωστο κι ο γιατρός έχει στην ευθύνη του άλλους 40. Και τον ρωτάς αν θέλει καμιά βοήθεια, νιώθεις όμως ταυτόχρονα μια ένοχη ανακούφιση που δεν έτυχε σε σένα αυτό και μετά ντρέπεσαι γιατί ο συνάδελφος έχει να διαχειριστεί και έναν διασωληνωμένο μέσα στον θάλαμο (χωρίς να γνωρίζει τίποτα από αναπνευστήρες), γιατί εσύ με το προηγούμενο περιστατικό κατέλαβες την τελευταία θέση στις χειρουργικές αίθουσες κι από δω και πέρα οι υπόλοιποι θα κρατιούνται σε κοινούς θαλάμους». Τελικά, σε αυτόν τον τόπο ο μόνος που δεν καταλαβαίνει τι συμβαίνει είναι ο πρωθυπουργός!
