Is long-Covid specific to Covid infection only, or can you get something similar from a regular cold?

Posted: 15 Jan 2022 05:25 AM PST

I can see how long-Covid can be debilitating for people, but why is it that we don't hear about the long haul sequelae of a regular cold?

Edit: If long-Covid isn't specific for Covid only, why is it that scientists and physicians talk about it but not about post-regular cold symptoms?

Jupiters Surface how we know what it’s like?

Posted: 15 Jan 2022 07:49 PM PST

I have scavenged the far reaches of the internet to no avail so why not. How do we know gas giants are really just Gas and not just extremely large planets with thick clouds we have no solid in-depth looks at the innards of the atmosphere only theories and hypothesis's of visible and non visible light pictures

Can rabies survive indefinitely in liquid?

Posted: 15 Jan 2022 03:01 PM PST

If the saliva that the rabies was in theoretically was kept moist (did not dry out), would the virus continue to survive? I can't find any info about it online.

In the vacuum of space is there a maximum velocity that an object (that isn't light) can travel, eg a shuttle? Or can it theoretically continue to accelerate if fuel continues to be consume, given that there's no resistance/drag in the vacuum?

Posted: 15 Jan 2022 01:56 PM PST

Assuming fuel is infinite and absolutely nothing is ever be close enough to the moving object to interfere with its speed or direction

Can a volcano suddenly be born in a place where there has never been a volcano?

Mitochondria have their own DNA; do all mitochondria in a person’s body share the same DNA?

What differentiates novel viral stains that can jump from animals to human vs. human to human?

Posted: 15 Jan 2022 10:26 AM PST

Basically the title. There's a thread in r/worldnews right now talking about new cases of the H5N6 Bird Flu in China.

I want to know what prevents a person from being infectious to another person after being infected from a bird/poultry with a novel virus Iike this. It would seem that it's already gained the ability to integrate into human cells, so what distinguishes that from human to human transmission viable strains?

I'm flairing this as COVID-19 since it's a closely related question.

What is the difference between mutations, variants and strains?

Could recent Tonga volcano eruption impact global climate?

Posted: 15 Jan 2022 09:12 AM PST

I've seen the news everywhere and it scares me...could it impact global climate?

Is all oil the result of organic processes or is any of it inorganic?

Posted: 15 Jan 2022 05:10 AM PST

Okay so what I understand is oil; and all fossil fuels, are the result of organic material being buried and pressurized over a long period of time, but why do we know it's all organic material? Can't an inorganic material look the same as something that is organic, how would you be able to tell? Is really all gasoline dead dinosaur juice? (or microbes but that's not very fun to visualize)

Is there any data regarding myocarditis post COVID in a vaccinated population?

Is there any data regarding the risk of myocarditis for someone who is fully vaccinated but tested positive for COVID?

Why can we not predict with a reasonable amount of accuracy when the next eruption of a volcano will occur like we can with most weather events?

Posted: 15 Jan 2022 04:47 AM PST

What effect would a massive volcano eruption (like the one that caused the year with no summer), have on climate change/global warming?

Posted: 15 Jan 2022 06:55 AM PST

Is the volcanic eruption in the Tongo and subsequent tsunami going to be more damaging due to climate change?

Posted: 15 Jan 2022 10:24 AM PST

I was having a discussion with someone and they said that the Tsunami's damage would be worse because there is more water in the oceans. That doesn't quite make sense to me, but totally could be true. Help me understand the impact climate change has on tsunami natural disasters?

What would the effects be of receding coastal waterlines on soil fertility?

Posted: 14 Jan 2022 06:01 PM PST

Full disclosure: This is for a D&D campaign and I just want to have some sense of verisimilitude in the setting.

Imagine we have some sort of geological event which results in the water level plummeting, say, six feet over 50 years. My interest is specifically in soil fertility in ocean shorelines. It's not clear to me how the salt content of the water would contribute to soil fertility. In freshwater areas, I'd assume the exposed lakebed would be a very good growing medium, but would a seabed be too salty to grow anything?

Thanks!

How common is the event of a solar flare hitting and affecting mercury?

How will plate tectonics affect cities on plate boundaries?

Posted: 14 Jan 2022 09:00 PM PST

So I had this thought months ago when I started working on a world I'm designing for a story and I've been curious ever since and haven't really found any answers by googling. As the title says, what will happen to our buildings and cities as the plates of our planet move? And many thousands of years from now, will two parts of a city (whether still inhabited or not) lie in different continents like some mountain chains do?

How do you calculate antenna efficiency?

Posted: 15 Jan 2022 01:10 AM PST

Recently ive been diving into antenna theory and learned about gain. However theres some value that looks like an epsilon with a subscript of A i think and i dont know how to calculate it.
