Strange

Is there any evidence that BCG vaccination was more common in Eastern European countries? It was still routine in the UK until very recently, as far as I know. Even if it is not routine now, it certainly was in the past and so we would expect to see older people less likely to have serious Covid-19 infections, but that is actually the opposite of what we see.

"Pass by" Right

I've never heard it called that before. (But now I am going to be coming across it all the time.)

So you have come up with your own words and your own mental image. It doesn't seem you can communicate clearly what is new or different about it, or what value it has. "It makes sense to me" is not much use to anyone else, especially when the principles and the details are already well understood.

A single entity can be unstable (or meta stable). Like a muon, for example. In "equilibrium"? Maybe not the best word. But then neither is ASD!

Cool picture. This can be described/explained conceptually in terms of equilibrium and balance, and quantitatively using mass, gravity, moments of force, etc. I don't understand what ASD is supposed to add.

Rights exist because they are enshrined in law, and are usually based on the ethical and moral considerations of that society. There is always a conflict of morals and rights, the purpose of law and the courts is to attempt to balance those fairly. While true, the law comes second: it reflects what rights people think should exist. So the rights that people believe in come first, and the the law to create them. I suppose I should add that there are two general approaches to this in law. either "everything not specifically banned is permitted" and "everything not specifically permitted is banned" (these have fancy names, but I can't remember what they are.) But we seem to be getting off topic...

I saw video recently with someone "explaining" why they said so many offensive things: "because the first amendment says I can". To which my response would be: it says you can, it doesn't say you have to. If the only justification you have for doing something is that it is not strictly illegal, then maybe you need to rethink why you are doing it.

As the first post shows, no parse no longer works. Which is a shame. I wonder if a code block does: [math]x_0^2[/math] Results in: [math]x_0^2[/math]

The only thing that might make you think "I wish I had covid-19 instead"

You can buy a chainsaw on the Internet. But to use it safely you need training and safety equipment.

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200327-can-you-kill-coronavirus-with-uv-light So, yes it might. But it is very dangerous and it is hard to imagine where it would be useful. What is wrong with soap and water?

So explain how your naive restatement of the blindingly obvious solves the mathematical conflict between GR and quantum theory; presumably you are an expert in both?

The story was confirmed by the German government. Maybe you need to get your "BS meter" checked. The issues was not "what angers Germans". That is just an attempt to deflect the argument. It is almost as if you are biased.

It shows that detected RNA fragments are present. It doesn't necessarily show that whole virus particles are present. And, even if they are, it doesn't tell us anything about transmissibility.

In other words, if things have no way of interacting then they cannot affect each other. Blindingly obvious and not a useful insight. So, if two or more things are not in equilibrium (and are able to interact, per 1) then they will tend towards equilibrium. Again, another statement of the obvious. A definition of the well-defined concept of equilibrium. (Not a very good definition, because you haven't said what "equal" means, but presumably it means they are in equilibrium.) I don't think any of them are wrong. They are just statements of well-known facts. It provides absolutely no new insights or any new way of using the knowledge. Useless, rather than wrong.

There is also the effect of moving the hot moist air above the soup away, allowing more water to evaporate from the soup. I'm not sure how much that contributes.

Today I learned that the song Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega was the first song converted to MP3: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3

Almost certainly not.
