I mean, who would've guessed?! STUDY finds that masks worn in hospitals prevent needless infections!

"The usage of FFP2 masks reduced the incidence of viral respiratory infections from 22.1 to 2.1% (p < 0.005). This reduced the time on ward from a median of 26 days to 23.5 days (p = 0.002)."

It remains impossible for me to understand why healthcare facilities refuse to wear masks and protect patients. #COVID19

@CppGuy I stopped giving blood, too. But I am going for my colonoscopy masked in a month or two. I respect your decision, but avoiding recommended medical testing isn't the way to better health, IMO. I think one of the lessons learned from the lockdowns was that we need to continue routine testing but do better by protecting patient health in healthcare facilities.

There is a striking resemblance between the Russian propaganda technique the “Firehose of Falsehood”, and the way Trump’s lieutenants are now performing a coordinated flooding of all channels with the fake story that “millions and millions” of immigrants are comming to eat your pets.

Trump’s voters could be hearing that the debate did not go well for Trump, but instead they are bombarded with the idea, that if you don’t vote for Trump, your dog will die.

I wonder who coordinates all this.

Someone should create a generative AI text program that only learns from content that is deemed Russian propaganda and information warfare online. Let's monetize their tomfoolery.

Today in #Valheim we discovered the location of our first Sunken Crypt. After collecting some iron ore, we transported it back to Rivalund for smelting. @skyfire747 got a fancy new Serpent Scale Shield and a Root Harnesk which looks awesome.

The thing that is so frustrating about anti-vaxxers is that there are hundreds and hundreds of studies that find #COVID19 vaccines confer benefits. Often, these findings aren't even the point of the research. Here's an example of one finding among many about COVID patients needing emergency department services: “SARS-CoV-2 vaccination was associated with reduced ED returns and mortality.”

While lots of powerful changes to reduce food waste can start at home, sometimes the scale of the problem benefits from a community-wide approach.

Not good news.
$30 million to compensate 6.9 million impacted users.
But not really, because the plaintiffs' attorneys are going to be paid out of that fund. They usually get around 30%, so that reduces the amount available to compensate users to $21 million.
There are other expenses that will be paid out of the fund, but they're probably in the noise compared to attorneys' fees.
So we're talking ~$3 per person.
Is that reasonable compensation for their DNA data being compromised? Nope.
