A Coronavirus Tipping Point
It’s not a problem until it gets to the lungs.
That probably means that the highest risk is to people whose lungs are already compromised, from smoking, or asthma, or other things. That might also explain why there have been no reported instances of it killing kids.

What are the chances of someone in your company getting it?
Drink Up
Regular consumption of hard liquor may provide protection against the coronavirus.
It would be ironic if drinking Corona itself did so.
The Epidemic In Waiting
How it erupted in China.
Plant-Based “Food”
…is destroying the planet. But, hey, at least it’s terrible for you, nutritionally.
Plastic
I suspect that reusing bags is causing a lot more health issues than people realize.
Nutritional Mythology
No, there is no scientific reason to think that plant-based diets are healthier than meat-based ones, or healthy at all.
The Transhuman Party
Huh.
This is the first time I’d heard of this guy.
Star Trek Transporters
Not a new topic, but a new take on it. You wouldn’t get me on one of those things.
Aging
…should be classified as a disease. It’s a public-health tragedy that hasn’t long been. To think that we shouldn’t fight it because it’s “natural” is the naturalistic fallacy. Nature is not our friend.
