14 Guys Eat Pizza in the Name of Science
A pizza study.
You can’t make this stuff up.
…young, healthy men (aged 22 — 37) who volunteered for the trial consumed almost twice as much pizza when pushing beyond their usual limits, doubling their calorie intake, yet, remarkably, managed to keep the amount of nutrients in the bloodstream within normal range.
Pizza study shows body copes surprisingly well with one-off calorie indulgence

Covid-19 Research 07.12.20
Although COVID-19 is most well known for causing substantial respiratory pathology, it can also result in several extrapulmonary manifestations. These conditions include thrombotic complications, myocardial dysfunction and arrhythmia, acute coronary syndromes, acute kidney injury, gastrointestinal symptoms, hepatocellular injury, hyperglycemia and ketosis, neurologic illnesses, ocular symptoms, and dermatologic complications.

Extrapulmonary manifestations of COVID-19
I do a fair amount of reading and research on this virus. This review article is highly scientific and clinical. If you choose to read this article I am not to blame if you never leave your house again for the next few years.
New China COVID-19 outbreak…Salmon?
It is unknown how the virus made it onto the chopping board at Xinfadi market in Beijing’s Fentai district, but the discovery came in conjunction with a cluster of cases and has forced its closure.
Lin Li, chief scientist of a team that monitors aquatic disease and control in Guangdong Province, told the newspaper it’s not possible for live salmon to be contaminated with the virus given it lives in the ocean, neither can frozen salmon be a source of the novel coronavirus which can only exist in active cells.
New China COVID-19 outbreak to directly impact ‘salmon business around the world’
By now anyone who stops by this blog knows I’m obsessed with Covid-19 and try to learn as much as I can by reading widely. When I heard about the potential salmon connection I had to find more to read. And I did.

I like salmon and usually buy the farmed version over the wild version despite the nutritional differences. When I was on the company’s website I found this link:

Worried About Arizona
Update 06.16.20
Charts above from Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding Twitter post 06.16.20.
New, confirmed cases in Arizona totaled 4,500 from May 24 to May 30, according to the Arizona Department of Health Services, as of Saturday morning. That’s nearly a 50% increase from the week before.
The health department’s data show cases increasing at a faster rate than diagnostic testing. The week ending on May 30 saw tests increase by about 14% statewide, compared to the 50% increase in cases. The same week saw tests increase by about 34% in Pima County, compared to the 85% increase in cases.

Americans may wish the virus to be gone, but it is not. While the outbreak has eased in the Northeast, driving down the overall national numbers, cases have only plateaued in the rest of the country, and they appear to be on the rise in recent days in COVID Tracking Project data. Twenty-two states reported 400 or more new cases Friday, and 14 other states and Puerto Rico reported cases in the triple digits. Several states—including Arizona, North Carolina, and California—are now seeing their highest numbers of known cases.
I’m having trouble understanding human behavior. Way too many people are equating reopening with it’s OK to go back to life as it was pre-Covid-19. I made some observations at the grocery store on my other blog. I’m beginning to see more mask-less people disregarding simple physical distancing. I’ve spent a lot of time researching and reading up on this virus to stay safe and to share what I’ve learned so others can keep themselves safe. Despite the idiots that walk amongst us I’ll continue to keep doing what I do because it’s what I do.
This shit is real and it is scary. COVID is taking patients down, and we do not know how to stop it. The images of overflowing EDs, overworked providers, patients who cannot breathe—these are real and it is happening. Do not let anyone tell you its not.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This shit is real. Stay safe.

Why Toilet Paper? — RadaJonesMD
I roll in my bed, unable to sleep. I listen to BBC talk about the craziness that took over the world, preoccupied with this one question. What question? It’s not: “Why, Corona?” For that, I already have more answers than I want. Scientists say that COVID19 is an animal virus. It spread to humans from…
A Physician’s Chilling COVID-19 Diagnostic Journey -KevinMD
Madilyn and I waited for communication from her sister and were shocked that she landed in DFW, on a plane with 348 passengers with masks, and no one asked any questions about exposure or symptoms — there was no screening at all. She quickly realized her mask at DFW looked conspicuous, so she removed it and awaited her connecting flight home.

Corona Sales Plummet in China Amid Coronavirus Pandemic — VinePair
Despite the fact that the COVID-19 coronavirus has nothing whatsoever to do with Corona, the parent company of the Mexican lager has nonetheless suffered a crushing financial loss due to the growing pandemic. Anheuser-Busch InBev (A-B InBev), the international producer and distributor of Corona beer, reported Thursday that a decline in Chinese on- and off-premise…
