Since we are not testing very many people here in the USA we really don't know how many cases of Covid-19 there are here. Why aren't we testing more? Korea has been testing 20,000 a day. We have only tested about 13,000 total so …

@Pathfinder Thanks so much for the info. I tried out a wand before I read your reply and found it just seemed like it was too weak to do anything so I returned it. I am letting things sit for a while to decontaminate themselves. Rainy right now …

I think I remember our local hospital touting the use of UV light to sanitize rooms. Supposedly it is very effective. Would love to know if that is really the case, as I just bought a portable wand type one. I plan on trying it out but I don't know …

Interesting! Since so much rice is eaten they are probably trying to get more nutrition into the food people eat.

Loving both nutrition and great bread I was delighted to read this article. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/18/dining/bread-affordable-whole-grain.html > ...a collective of about 40 bakers, millers, teachers and wheat-breeders who work with the …

Thank you for the recommendation. We will try to see it but it sounds sad like To Kill a Mockingbird. I will have to take a deep breath. Have you seen The Thin Blue Line? I wish it was required viewing in high schools. It tells us so much about …

A few days ago there were several articles about the effect of Citizen's United, claiming Obama was right and Judge Alito wrong about what the outcome would be. This could be one of the unintended …

WHO has decided for now that it's not a global emergency because almost all the infections and all the deaths are in China and it isn't showing that it spreads from human to human …

The New York times published a later article asking who the ancestors of Native Americans were because they are not found anywhere today. According to the scientists the times interviewed, Siberia was a desirable place with large mammals and …

Seems like a low blow in my mind for Lara Trump, daughter-in-law to the President of the United States, to be so cruel to Joe Biden. Making fun of others is bullying, which supposedly is what the First Lady is so against. Thanks to a real hero …

Isn't social media the social tech pain point of our times? All my friends talk about it. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/15/smarter-living/how-to-fix-social-facebook-instagram-twitter.html

Mind boggling article about fabric and fashion. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/21/fashion/fabscrap-fashion-waste-recycyling.html There are probably lots of industries contributing to various kinds of waste bad for the environment but I had not …

Fascinating!

This is terrible. We have already mostly migrated away from incandescent bulbs. Why would we want to regress?

Some really innovative news on the environmental front. I had no idea that anything like this was even remotely possible. > Green energy advocates may soon be turning blue. A new membrane could unlock the potential of “blue energy,” which uses …

For more than half a century Michael Apted (now 78 years old) played the role of recording angel. Every seven years he contacted people and asked about their lives. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/27/magazine/63-up-michael-apted.html It is the …

I saw an article a few days ago claiming young voters disproportionately support the Sanders campaign while boomers disproportionately support Buttigieg. How odd. The explanation was that Sanders has the best plan for battling climate …

I am a rabid environmentalist who is very worried about climate change. So this article immediately caught my attention and raised my hackles. I was ready to do battle with the author, thinking he is a global warming denier. But then I read the …
