I tend to waste a lot of time watching other people cook on YouTube. But every now and then I actually make a dish I’ve watched someone else make and say to myself, this is a keeper. “I make simpler things in a simpler way, now—as you get older your metabolism changes and you want […]
A healthy diet including whole fruits, but not fruit juice, may play a role in mitigating T2DM risk. Associations Between Fruit Intake and Risk of Diabetes in the AusDiab Cohort — The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, dgab335, https://doi.org/10.1210/clinem/dgab335 Link to the journal study above. But if you want the highlights play the video […]
Turtle Rescue Mission-2021 Behind our house a block away is a stream. Over the years I’ve performed a number of turtle rescues. Some were swept into the neighborhood streets by storms. Others are obviously lost and end up in the backyard. I found this little one in our garage. I put her into a bucket […]
I just bought a dozen large eggs for $0.89. This is an inexpensive sandwich filling! First boil some eggs. Add the eggs to a saucepan and fill with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let the eggs bathe for 12 minutes. When time’s up carefully drain the […]
Obesity is a Chronic Condition: Obesity is a chronic and often progressive condition not unlike diabetes or hypertension. Successful obesity management requires realistic and sustainable treatment strategies. Short-term “quick-fix” solutions focusing on maximizing weight loss are generally unsustainable and therefore associated with high rates of weight regain.

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?
