@jillneimark I saw you comment elsewhere on nasal lavage post exposure. Is there recent data on that?

Context matters. The bromism case being cited by Christos Arguropouloa (who now has blocked me) as “AI told someone to replace table salt with bromide” leaves out key facts: • Patient had psychiatric illness, was put on antipsychotics. • On an extreme, nutrient-deficient diet, fearful of most water. • “Bromide for salt” was apparently suggested by ChatGPT for cleaning, not eating. • Harm came from misusing a cleaning tip as dietary advice. This isn’t an example of AI replacing a doctor.

@janet_heise @TMaritanoAquino @michael_hoerger @Walgreens Your town will load, I just checked—wait longer or try a different browser.

@TMaritanoAquino @michael_hoerger @Walgreens Same here in Indiana, blank for the first time. 🤯

BREAKING: The U.S. COVlD data blackout has spread. The Walgreens COVlD tracker appears to have vanished. The URL redirects to a generic page now. @Walgreens -- will your respiratory index return?

@pjedmonds No, that’s incorrect. In your example for every $1 of direct costs they spend, they could then spend $.69 for indirect costs, until the totality (1 mil) ran out. That totality includes both direct & indirect. It accumulates literally overnight as direct costs are spent.

In recent times if an individual received a 1 million dollar grant the institution received another “indirect payment” for $690,000. They used this to house the research infrastructure. Lab space, buildings etc. it’s why many large institutions have nice buildings and are very dependent on NIH funding.

Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.

@PrasadKasibhat1 @jasonhikes1 @8trius @yiksnahculbaY_A @CostOfNukes @NIH Thank you. Many people (including some PIs) don’t understand how the indirect cost % is actually a rate, accumulating as the direct costs are spent, with both chugging along until the totality of the grant runs out. Did I get that right? 😂

@lymanstoneky 2) And even with the later claim of a UTI it didn’t make sense. In pregnant women, UTI symptoms could actually be a kidney infection which is always treated in-patient when pregnancy is involved. They screwed up in so many ways.

@lymanstoneky 1) The initial presentation had so many differential diagnoses besides “strep”—listeria, viral gastroenteritis, kidney infection, etc. That first nurse practitioner really screwed up by assuming a positive rapid strep test was the source of the abdominal symptoms.

What actually happened is a doctor who's been previously censured for this exact thing in the past failed to provide basic medical treatment for obvious sepsis, the hospital didn't follow up, and because it all happened ER instead of inpatient, malpractice protections are weak.

@David_E_Jimenez Keep pushing down realtor commissions.

"One factor holding back young adults from marrying and starting a family is the cost of single-family housing. Accordingly, states need to work with localities to get rid of unnecessary housing regulations and advance creative ideas [that] will make it easier for young, married families to buy a home of their own." @BradWilcoxIFS onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pa…

@lymanstoneky Fascinating

I'll circulate it more formally with a mailing at some point in the future. But you are free to distribute it as you like.

Over the last few days I shared statistics about LCMS pastors. @HansFiene told me I should write it up. So I did.

@lymanstoneky Stick with known beneficial strains like s. salivarius/BlisM18 in Hyperbiotics adult pro-dental or pro-kids ENT probiotics (or other brands).

this article convinced me i should not get the genetically modified cavity prevention thing. and i also learned more about the business dynamics of the sexually bizarre bay area rationalist culture. trevorklee.substack.com/p/please-dont-…

@LongDesertTrain @ADHDMom5 @michaelmina_lab altruan.com/collections/pc… Made in China, ordered from Germany. I can send you a PM with some more details. Lots of info here: virus.sucks/pluslife_en/

@priscilla @ADHDMom5 @michaelmina_lab Could you explain this in more detail? I've never heard of it.

Such a bad interpretation that stands to harm patient care Let's not throw the baby out w the bathwater for COVID-19 (and flu etc)! Suggesting to only run PCR & not rapid means most (50%-80%) of patients get WORSE care & at higher costs Here's why: A 🧵 1/

@ADHDMom5 @LongDesertTrain @michaelmina_lab Get the Pluslife and once you own the unit ($200-300) you can run a high quality/much more accurate pooled NAAT test for the whole family for only about $8 total.

@LongDesertTrain @michaelmina_lab Agree rapids aren’t really “affordable” for most. Even when I find them for $5 ea (a good deal), there are 5 people in my family, so testing each person 2x (as directed) is $50. We have a very high risk family member and a kid in school, so we try to test often but.. $$$ 😬

@Wilcock_v2 Does the IU School of Medicine/Dr. Brosch, etc. treat homozygous APOE4 with Lecanemab and monitor closely or only non-APOE4? I have seen some research centers (Penn) do so with great caution but others stay away.

The end of the beginning - that is where we’re at with Alzheimer’s treatment. Let’s keep this momentum going! Thank you to all of the advocates at #alzforum for their advocacy to make sure we are able to do our research and deliver care!

@michael_hoerger @MariaSwartzPhD @flo_mask My two-year old does great with the Flo mask with halo strap. Her older sister has used the same set-up for almost two years now.

@MariaSwartzPhD @flo_mask This will be our first time trying the halo straps. I think it will help with fine slippery hair and also make it less likely to get pulled out of place. We will see!

@EvieSolheim @amconmag Interesting article but maternal mortality in the US hasn’t worsened the way you describe. The criteria/data collection has changed in many states over the last 20 years. See Lyman Stones’s January article at governing.com.

I'm excited to make my debut in @amconmag! I hope you enjoy my deep dive into the world of underground home birth: theamericanconservative.com/the-women-havi…

@lymanstoneky Wrote my dissertation with their childcare. Got some exercise, too.

The economics of the YMCA is mindboggling to me. How can you offer 2 hours a day of free childcare, a pool, a gym, sports courts/fields, professional-led classes, and yet have a membership fee barely above a gym-only facility.

@altjellyroller @LauraMiers You can take out the metal wire and use double sided fabric/lingerie/etc tape from Amazon prime to adhere it around your nose.

@LauraMiers I going for an MRI on Monday - I'll have to unmask - pretty sure my mask will not be allowed in the tube. But we will be masking in the office and until the last minute before the tube.

We’re at the unmasked hospital in the unmasked children’s wing, at the unmasked specialist. Doctors & staff *did* model us and they donned surgical masks when they saw we were wearing N95s. It’s rare these days. An hour away in Buffalo, an “unusual number of children” are dying.

@EHottenroth @LieslMcconchie Mormon

@LieslMcconchie Thats awesome!!! Which church is it? Catholic or protestant?

⛪️Clean Air is Coming to Church!!⛪️ I had the most hopeful meeting today with folks at Church HQ about getting cleaner air for the 17 million folks who are members of our global church. They have3⃣recommendations they are moving forward on. All are beyond my wildest dreams. 🧵

@lymanstoneky The MDiv and MTS at Notre Dame also come with full tuition scholarships. ND generally offers substantial financial aid to undergrads and (I think) mostly full rides to grad students, at least in the humanities and sciences.

But anyways, "The two LCMS seminaries have the highest sticker prices of any Protestant seminaries in America" is a fun fact.

The two Concordias are also wrong-- Seminary for LCMS pastors is *free* (ish)!

@Jwaughcsc @ryanburge And don’t the MDiv all get full tuition scholarships and the MTS get full tuition and a stipend?

@ryanburge by far the main group for whom ND Theology is "our seminary" is men in formation for the Congregation of Holy Cross, ND's founding order. CSC seminarians study Theology at ND, but ND Theology isn't "a seminary." Most of their students are not seminarians.

New post about the cost of a seminary education. These are the 20 most expensive seminaries in 2021-2022. The big thing that jumps out: how many Catholic schools are on this list. Four of the top five. I'm sure that Catholic priests in training aren't paying those prices

@antoniottwalter @EricTopol @OECD @washingtonpost @lymanstoneky could clarify

@EricTopol @OECD @washingtonpost IS maternal mortality defined the same in all countries?
