glennlab replies on Aug 12, 2020:
@Flowerwall There are two issues here.1 Vitamin D defficentcy is a problem. No one is arguing this point and Drs are activiely seeking to find incidents of it and corrrecting and monitoring it in patients. People do need to get checked and not just start taking supplements. It has a high correlation in colorectal cancer, though cause has not been shown. It deserves and is recieving additional studies 2. Is it related to or causal to Covid-19 infection? This study opens the door to begin to study whether there is any correlation. It may be years before adequate studies have been done to establish this. Right now the study has not even been published much less peer reviewed. It is prudent to take all the facts into consideration before determining what course to follow. Remeber not ONE patient was examined in this study, no blood tests examined, no patient data examined, only general population data and then only in Northern European countries. I am not disputing the findings of the study, I am saying they lack in substansive value and pointing out the limiting factors. If you will remember there were previous studies that showed blood type a was more sussepatble, that children couldn't get it, that hydroxycloraquin was effective, that masks were ineffective all disproven, but taken as fact until they were peer reviewed and debunked.

Drs are beginning to reccommned it in record nmumbers in the US. More as a response to colorectal cancers than anything else. While no causal relationshipt has been proven, the correlation is high enough in individuals that preventative prescribing is prudent.

glennlab replies on Aug 10, 2020:
@Flowerwall The problem with the study, is that there is no data on individuals, only general population data/ There is no direct correlation yet. this is only speculation and most likely will not pass peer review without serious revision. General population trends do not always correspond to actual . . Until it is published in a reputable peer reviewed journal, I would not put much stock in the study. That does not mean to dismiss it, but give it little weight.

@MichelleGar1 I was my ex's caregiver when she had cancer, (she, my son and I are the only family we have in Dallas) Things will move much faster than you are prepared for. Eating is one of the big hurdles, fix small servings and be prepared to throw away things that "don't taste right. Ask her what she would like to eat today. Things that look great today will make her want to barf tomorrow. Watch out for depression, both hers and yours. and maybe your dad too. It is natural and normal, talk when she wants to talk, let her rest anytime she wants to, if you need to talk, call me.

Make sure that someone goes with her to the post surgery appointments, There is a ton of information and it is better to have two people hearing it at the same time. and ask questions about anything that is not crystal clear. Get a small notebook, when one of those questions pops into your or your mother's head, write it down, don't try to remember it. Be agressively proactive with/for her.

Does the alkalinity or acidity affect the color of lotuses?

No it is genetic, but also they don't always come back true from seed.

you have a pond THAT big? lovely lotuses are in a class of their own.
glennlab replies on Jul 31, 2020:
It is 1200 gallons, It's not the largest I've had over the years, but it was the easiest to set up. This little sucker is just came up about 2 weeks ago, and has grown like a weed. I can't wait to see how it comes out.

@itsmedammit I really enjoy the PNW in the spring when the waterfalls are at full volume. I guess it comes from growing up on the gulf coast where there were none.

Regarding the statement about Pelosi taking office, I researched it and it's not true. Trump and Pence would be out of office but the House and the Senate would have to agree on who would become President, per the 20th Amendment.
glennlab replies on Jul 31, 2020:
Congress has acted under ther 20th amendment and the 26th amendment to provide for the presidential order of succession, if both the office of president and vice president become vacant, the Speaker of the House shall assume the office and nominate a VP subject to confirmation by the senate. This is not new, the line of succession used to be to the president pro-tem of the senate, but it was realized during the Johnson presidency that the pro tem was normally a very old man, often in poor health, that this was not really a smart thing to do.

glennlab replies on Jul 30, 2020:
@Jetty I question the legitamcy of both organizations, one has not filed a 990 in 2 years and I can find no record of the other ever filing one. The 990 is the publicly available financial disclosure statement filed with the IRS and required to be filed every year.

US coronavirus: Nation could see deaths in the 'multiple hundreds of thousands,' group says - CNN
Jolanta comments on Jul 29, 2020:
The US population stands at 331 million plus at the moment. The death toll on an average is 923 per day. As it ramps up the death toll will rise. Nothing to look forward to.
glennlab replies on Jul 29, 2020:
The very telling factors are the new infections curretly over 50,000 per day and the positivity rate as high as 50% in some hot spots. The positivity rate needs to be below 10% to even begin normalcy.

As a general rule atheist and agnostics are not evangelic and don't seek to convert others, so much like Jehova's Witnesses, it is a fools errand to do much more than provide support for those that are considering the belief system.
glennlab replies on Jul 19, 2020:
@Unpretentious The only avenue for increasing "our" nimbers is education, belief systems have lasted so long in face of contridicting evidence is that they offer comfort that people would rather have than the truth.

"Trump LOSES the November election" being the operative phrase here. Knowing what we know about the pustule, I can't imagine him EVER going into a psych ward.

@LucyLoohoo It has not been done to a president, but the mechanics are there. Reagan and Bush both relinquished their office voluntarily to undergo surgeries, so there is a history.

@JackPedigo read my post. The supposition is that after the defeat, Pence invokes the 25th for whatever reason.

Sticks48 comments on Jul 18, 2020:
You can't pardon someone who has not been convicted. There is no such thing as a pre-pardon.
glennlab replies on Jul 18, 2020:
@Sticks48 Yes and New York just changed its law that allows prosecution where a federal pardon has been issued for the same crime. Previously a person could not be charged and tried in New York for a substantually same crime and a federal crime. (civil rights era double jepordy for LEs).
