Upon reading the news on how pizza chains are suffering due to consumer preferences for chicken I decided to personally try to make a difference by eating pizza. Here’s last night’s order: Look at those discounts! The small cheese was free, the medium thin was a semi-permanent special always discounted, I had a $5.00 loyalty […]
When the conversation centers on finding the next “miracle ingredient,” we risk losing sight of what truly matters: filling our plates with fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and other minimally processed plant foods. Health rarely depends on a single food. Rather, it depends on the overall dietary pattern and the synergistic interaction between thousands of […]
The study estimates that 13.8% of women in Bolotana who reach 70 will survive to 100, versus approximately 3.6% of U.S. women, roughly one in seven compared with one in 28. At 70, women in Bolotana were estimated to have nearly 21 years of life remaining. Bolotana also differs from the original Sardinian blue zones […]

Between July 1 and Aug. 18, Eagle County Sheriff’s Office dispatch logged 290 bear calls, while Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) received 81 reports — 47 involving property damage. Bear activity surging in Eagle County – https://www.vaildaily.com/news/bear-activity-surging-in-eagle-county/ There will be NO pickups in the back alley.
I’ll bet there were a lot of MAGA banners there.
I said good on the Native Americans for closing the highways through their reservations. I know a friend of mine who’s traveling this fall (don’t get me started on his decision timing for a trip through the United States) Who is complaining bitterly about being rerouted. I don’t blame the Indians for trying to keep Covid out of their land. They have enough of the virus already. And my friend is an MD, specializing in occupational medicine! He is a staunch Trump supporter, so that explains a lot.
I’ve seen a few pictures from the Sturgis event, no MAGA banners but a lot more political ideology indicators stronger than a red hat or sign. Political divisions aside it is fascinating how everyone’s risk tolerance levels are so different.
We have an outbreak here in Edmond OK at the Purina cat/dog food facility. 41 positive at last count.
Do they work in close quarters at the Purina facility like a meat packing plant?
I don’t know. Very few details have been released for public consumption.
It really is fascinating.
And I’m wondering have they done studies to compare the incidence of Covid infection in risk averse people versus risk tolerant people?
It would be difficult to control. I speculate that the risk averse people probably have fewer comorbid conditions.
I’ve seen zero studies on the correlation between Covid positivity and risk tolerance. Agree this type of study falls more in the survey/observational type and any findings would be of limited value. I would speculate the opposite of your speculation. Risk adverse people have more comorbid conditions and are likely older.
That would be another interesting observational study about risk averse/tolerant people and comorbid conditions. What I see around here are so many big bellied Trump supporters riding around town in their pick up trucks drinking beer smoking cigarettes waving MAGA flags. I would speculate that most are obese, have hypertension, hyperlipidemia, ASHD, and type two diabetes. It’s getting more and more crazy here with these fanatics riding around in their pick up trucks with huge maga flags circling around and around and around the city all day long. And you can bet many are living on some sort of government paycheck.
Did you just describe Oklahoma?
