I was snacking on peanut butter when I read this: Recalled Food -Jif brand peanut butter Sold at stores nationwide. Many types and sizes were recalled, including creamy, crunchy, natural, and reduced fat. Lot code numbers 1274425 through 2140425. Four of five (80%) sick people reported eating different types of Jif brand peanut butter before […]

It’s hard to know what to think about the recommendations for alcohol consumption when the narrative around it changes like the wind. Numerous studies have come out in support of moderate alcohol consumption because of its potential health benefits only to be countered by similar studies arguing that it’s actually more harmful than beneficial, according […] […]
The study, published online in JAMA Internal Medicine by Dylan A. Lowe, PhD, also of UCSF, involved 116 participants who were randomized to a 12-week regimen of either three structured meals per day or time-restricted eating, with instructions to eat only between 12:00 pm and 8:00 pm and to completely abstain from eating at other times. Time-Restricted […]
“How did you make this?” The last time I wrote about zucchini was back in 2019 when the same question was asked (probably by the same friend) which motivated me to write down how I make Zucchini, Corn & Red Pepper. This super simple recipe is the perfect side vegetable when you have your grill fired […]
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?
