• is the spread of COVID typical for a respiratory virus
• Are viruses alive or dead?
• How has covid impacted on the use of single use plastics (lateral flow kits)?
• Clocks need a pendulum, crystal or something else that creates a regular beat to measure the passing of time. But how does the human body do it? How can I count in intervals of a second?
• If choking is when food blocks you windpipe, what is it when food blocks your esophagus?
• Do gaseous weight figures usually take in account their buoyancy?

is the spread of COVID typical for a respiratory virus Posted: 12 Jan 2022 09:39 AM PST i understand that there's no respiratory virus for which we have so much data as COVID 19, but what do we think: is this global pandemic pattern, with the virus and the Deltas and the Omicrons and etc etc and the rapid spikes in infection rates etc, something that happens all the time with your everyday harmless sneezy colds? Followup question to 'yes' responses: are there other viruses that are following a similar pattern right now to COVID, like, are the infection waves etc correlated? submitted by /u/aggasalk [link] [comments]

Are viruses alive or dead? Posted: 12 Jan 2022 02:16 PM PST If so, can they die or are they more closely related to a chemical reaction such as fire? submitted by /u/EatTheBiscuitSam [link] [comments]

How has covid impacted on the use of single use plastics (lateral flow kits)? Posted: 12 Jan 2022 03:01 PM PST Is it too early to say? Will it get worse in the future? I have visions of mountains of lateral flow test kits. submitted by /u/Baron_Lemon [link] [comments]

Do gaseous weight figures usually take in account their buoyancy? Posted: 11 Jan 2022 12:15 PM PST Just watching a SciSchow clip that mentions astronauts on ISS consumes only 840 grams of O2 a day, and I imagined how gases can be weighed, then wondered if all those metric tons of CO2 figures take in account their buoyancy when the samples were measured... submitted by /u/x_m_n [link] [comments]
