I don't have Covid 19! test came back negative! Looks like just plain old viral pneumonia! That 104 fever was a bitch! Feeling better now! All I need now is a flight back to NC, CA is nice but home is nicer!

The graph shows trajectories in the number of cases and it does show that in most cases they will rise further.

Will you please tell me which other forums you post on? If you see Charon as typical, then I’d very much like to go visit them. They sound wonderful!

While I don't care for spiders they don't really bother me any more than big centipedes or other creepy looking creatures. Many years ago I let my boys both have aquariums with snakes. I was fine looking at them in the tank, and when the boys handled them it was a little creepy but no big deal. Then they talked me into holding their corn snake (see stock image below). It was a bit tense but fine while it was just wrapped around my fingers, but then it looked me in the eye and started moving toward my face. Boom! I couldn't get that thing out of my hand fast enough.

It's a different strain, but I found a study https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14631830 "Viruses stayed stable at 4 degrees C, at room temperature (20 degrees C) and at 37 degrees C for at least 2 h without remarkable change in the infectious ability in cells, but were converted to be non-infectious after 90-, 60- and 30-min exposure at 56 degrees C, at 67 degrees C and at 75 degrees C, respectively. Irradiation of UV for 60 min on the virus in culture medium resulted in the destruction of viral infectivity at an undetectable level." I don't know how to read that last sentence — the destruction was undetectable, or the infectivity was undetectable? Also, 60 min seems like a long time in terms of using UV to sanitize surfaces. (For anybody thinking that warm weather will help, 56 degrees is quite toasty.)

Again it doesn't count as a dimension. It is a relation not a dimension.

Correction.

! Moderator Note I'm ordering a closure on this one for sanitary reasons, because it's starting to smell funny.

No. AFAIK the thread making the blocking call is blocked until the call is complete. Which means that the process is blocked if the process is single threaded. It should not affect the state of other running processes in normal* cases. First the CPU issue. It works as intended: psutil.Process(pid).cpu_percent(interval=1)) returns non-zero. The sorting takes more than the intervall so there are more than one report printed. Sorry, not going to happen at this time. You need to explain what you want to achieve. I can post running code, I can explain how it works, I can explain why your code behaves the way it does, how and why it produces some error message or unintended output. But I prefer** not to guess your requirements. One can have one average CPU measurement for the whole sorting or one measurement per second (my guess from your interval=1) or having the sorting complete within a second or something else. Which one to implement depends on what task you need your code to solve. Let's look at the sorting issue You create a copy of SSSort.arr and then sort the copy? arr2 = SSSort.arr[:] And then prints the unsorted original SSSort.arr? for i in enumerate(SSSort.arr): print(i) *) Details about threading, processes and architectures I consider off topic for this thread **) Because my opinion is that you will learn from trying to understand what and why you require a certain behaviour. Had this been a professional situation involving time to market, office politics, funding, stakeholders, unclear market demands, risks, compliance and other factors in the reality of system development then my approach regarding unclear requirements could likely be (very) different.

turns out there are in vivo studies Numata, M., Mitchell, J. R., Tipper, J. L., Brand, J. D., Trombley, J. E., Nagashima, Y., ... & Voelker, D. R. (2020). Pulmonary surfactant lipids inhibit infections with the pandemic H1N1 influenza virus in several animal models. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 295(6), 1704-1715. see references therein

see Perino J, Crouzier D, Spehner D, Debouzy JC, Garin D, Crance JM, Favier AL. Lung surfactant DPPG phospholipid inhibits vaccinia virus infection. Antiviral Res. 2011;89:89–97. from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3247641/#R52

maybe doctors can try https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_surfactant Composition ~40% dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC);[5] ~40% other phospholipids (PC);[5] ~10% surfactant proteins (SP-A, SP-B, SP-C and SP-D);[5] ~10% neutral lipids (Cholesterol);[5] Traces of other substances. tweaked it a bit in vitro to see the best composition or addition that can kill the virus

But the James Bond movies would suffer...

B Lazar has been making these claims for over 20 yrs. I distinctly remember seeing him on TV shows dealing with UFOs in the 90s. Wouldn't the simpler explanation be that he has no academic records from MIT/Caltech, rather than the Government 'scrubbed' them ? And what makes us so special that they'd want to play 'cat and mouse' games with us ? You'd think they would explore the galaxy, not anally probe Americans from southern states.

==Well, honestly YOU led the thread in all sorts of OT direction. And, now, simply b/c you don't have your usual SMUG "BIOLOGY EXPERT" response, you want claim hijacking?? Really?!! YOU ARE A TYPICAL FORUM MODERATOR.
