Way more important than not drinking the water is not breathing the air.

Please wear an N95 when you lock yourself in a tiny steel tube with hundreds of others. If not for your safety, do it for others.

I just keep wearing an N95. I've had maybe 3 infections in 5 years.

Higher does not necessarily mean better. Higher grade filters filter more in each pass, but can overall provide worse performance as the air flow rate goes down. The air is being recirculated in a portable unit or in a standard domestic ducted heating/cooling situation.

Also, turns out preventing kids from getting sick improves educational outcomes.

Clear exists because the TSA have made life bad for everyone.

Economy class passengers in Australia have a better experience than Clear passengers in the USA and don't have to pay extra for it.

Perhaps, maybe, mass infection by a virus that affects the brain and vascular system has consequences for society.

Let me get this straight: you are selling a guarantee of maximum price for a medical service?

The most unbelievable part of this story is that he claims to have read it out to the family.

I’ve had lawyer patients just giggle at the fact that I’m near the top of the income rankings in Australia. ‘Clearly doctors don’t hide their income very well!’

Patients pay less, and I get paid relatively more in Australia (less in absolute terms than the US). There are fewer middlemen clipping the ticket.

More in private, but not the difference on an hourly basis is not necessarily that much.

That’s why most patients (at least in the practices where I have worked in Australia and the US) get an EMG first, to localise the lesion.

I might be totally misled, but I think of it as a parallel resister circuit. One area of low resistance is extremely significant.
