    1. 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.

    1. Kayla Simpson. (2022, January 3). The COVID data coming out of NYC jails is...beyond staggering. Today’s report shows a 7-day avg positivity rate of 37%, w/502 ACTIVE INFECTIONS. With a ~5K census, that means that nearly one in ten people in DOC has an ACTIVE infection. Crisis on crisis.

    1. Deepti Gurdasani. (2021, December 23). Some brief thoughts on the concerning relativism I’ve seen creeping into media, and scientific rhetoric over the past 20 months or so—The idea that things are ok because they’re better relative to a point where things got really really bad. 🧵 [Tweet]. @dgurdasani1. https://twitter.com/dgurdasani1/status/1474042179110772736

    1. Prof. Shane Crotty. (2021, November 2). Wow. COVID vaccine misinformation continues to be soooo horrible. This is incredible widespread and ABSOLUTELY made up. (Just like the insanity of implantable chips they continue to claim over and over) These fabrications are so damaging to the health of Americans.

    1. 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?

    1. There is a huge amount of uncertainty in these modelled estimates and we can only be confident about the impact of boosters against Omicron when we have another month of real-world data on hospitalisation, ICU [intensive care] numbers and deaths.
    1. shinydoc. (2021, December 12). I love how I, an actual GP...who was involved in the initial covid vaccination programme ...has to tune in at 8pm with the public to find out that apparently we are vaccinating the entire adult population with boosters by the end of the year [Tweet]. @irishayesha. https://twitter.com/irishayesha/status/1470123478221303810

    1. 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!

    1. In contrast, short afternoon naps at the workplace improved an overall index of outcomes by 0.12 standard deviations, with significant increases in productivity, psychological well-being, and cognition, but a decrease in work time.

      Short afternoon naps at the workplace lead to significant increases in productivity, psychological well-being and cognition. In contrast, an extra 30 minutes sleep at night shows no similar improvements. [Pedro Bessone]

    1. Thus, this study provides the basis to pursue further efficacy studies in non-human primate models or even initiate clinical phase I studies using the currently available vaccines.

      As of 26 Nov 2021, phase 1 studies have not yet begun for mucosal vaccines, not even in primates :-(

    1. I think it’s a good idea to have a fall break. Also a mental day. But the mental day has to be productive. A roundtable discussion is a really good idea. Maybe even some group therapy sessions if that’s even a thing. And with students with disabilities. We should also have classes that talk about serious subjects. And also give The students with disabilities a chance to air their grievances. And also have teachers explain to them what’s going on and how they can make a change. Or have some additional counseling. Maybe we can even have a way to make sure everybody is safe both physically mentally. And educationally. Students with disabilities have a right to. It’s harder for students is with mental challenges to grasp at serious subject. Maybe we should have a class maybe at the Achieve center like a roundtable class or a class and teaching us how to be more resilient. How to deal with trauma and PTSD and she CPTSD.

    1. Another person suspended from his job put it this way: “Someone who knows me, but maybe doesn’t know my soul or character, may be saying to themselves that prudence would dictate they keep their distance, lest they become collateral damage.”

      Putting people beyond the pale creates a social contagion of sorts. It would be interesting to look at these cases from the perspective of public health and view these as disease. What information falls out of doing this? How does this model change?

      From Applebaum's perspective that these cases may help sow the seeds of authoritarianism, could they be viewed as something like an initial case of untreated syphilis and authoritarianism becomes a version of festered stage three syphilis.

      What other things may stem from these effects as second and third order problems from a complexity theory perspective?

    1. Dr Nisreen Alwan 🌻. (2021, October 30). Mass infection of kids with a virus less than 2 years old is not ethical, not moral, not scientifically evidenced, not socially just & medically risky. There’s no good argument for this. And no, boosting population immunity to protect the adults is not a valid argument. #Childism [Tweet]. @Dr2NisreenAlwan. https://twitter.com/Dr2NisreenAlwan/status/1454498829403922440
