Joe rarely tweets anymore...but he couldn't resist retweeting that bad boy.
Good stuff

I love my PharmD. My PharmD understands lots about drug utilization and antibiograms. I call him with a diagnosis and a patient with 15 allergies and cross reference bacterial susceptibility to find a good antibiotic for the patients comorbidities. They are great. Period.


But come on, your DOCTOR title better be a relevant PhD or an MD if you are going to put it on your handle while going on about different TREATMENTS OF DISEASE. Otherwise you know damn well what you are doing in playing smoke and mirrors to sell your books.

He keeps pushing this paper:

The issues is that you need a patient centered study.
Does an infected patient get better faster with sauna therapy? That's a pretty simple study to perform, though it won't be perfect.

Instead he looks at lots of receptor studies in labs, but those aren't applicable to people. He applies influenza to coronavirus that have TOTALLY different entry paths and replication to the cell and just lumps them as RNA viruses.

Then his people studies look at whether people caught a disease or not if they used a sauna regularly. Maybe it can help you not catch something. Or maybe sauna users are more health focused so they don't catch disease anyways. Are they properly randomized? Maybe saunas are just really good at cleaning you off and shower with soap does the same, not immunology? You can't just make that leap. You need a good study showing it happens then investigate all the why it happens.

And in the end, I thought Joe was asking about Sauna killing the virus if you have it already. And not studies on preventing the virus. This is like Vitamin C, which seems to help if you are topped off when you get sick, but doesn't really help after your cold has started.

You are such a pal but Paddy's Day.

And fuck no. If all by bars weren't closed in my county, fuck no. I'm not stupid.
Yeah that day we have, once a year to celebrate good ol' Saint Padrick.

Bars still open and advertising here

Do you mean tax wise? Husband got hammered a lot less than he thought with that. I didn't want him to do it in the first place but it was better than we thought. Have an actual phone call with them, things may not be half as bad as they seem.
There are no tax implications in a 401k, until you withdrawal anyway. I just jumped the gun moving back into an indexed fund and thankfully, I was able to cancel the transaction.

Most of our growth is coming from the Washington outbreak to date. There are other community clusters all over that were introduced differently. Washington outbreak growth is faster than the new introduction that has occurred in the same washington region.

I know I sound like I'm going a tad overboard. But fuck going and celebrating anything at the moment.

I'm sure Patty can wait for another year, I do worry about my friends who survive on tips within the beer trade but anyone going out to celebrate Paddy's Day is a selfish idiot.

I just checked this over and I concur.

My toilet paper supply, most of it anyway. I have a few more scattered around the house.

Finally, lets do this.

What's the plan? Why TP instead of...you know...food?
How did you determine you had enough?
Who gets the strong and who gets the soft?
Do you ever think of selling it...for profit?
