Exactly. This will hopefully serve as some wake up call about political appts. I doubt it will, but it should...
What's an alarm? :biggrin:
I actually posted a link to it earlier...
When they're in med school, that 98.6 gets drummed into them so hard that, even though they know it's not accurate, they still think it's good enough for a benchmark. I guess they just don't have the time to ascertain "normal" for every patient. When I've gone in ill, I always tell them what my "normal" is, but most just shrug it off.
I would expect you keep hazmat suits in your bunker.
The good outweighs the bad. Thank you for your sacrifice.
i have respirators and tyvek suits at work and at home. i should be good long enough to escape.I would expect you keep hazmat suits in your bunker.
just remember me always!!!!!
Why not? They are doing the same to us.
Same here. Mrs. 1967 sleeps more than I do, yet her normal body temp is lower than mine.
My mother, a native German, has a similar baseline body temperature. The last time she went to the ER (for a broken bone) the nurse panicked at her low temp and did not want to accept her protestation that it was indeed normal.
It seems to run throughout my family. I haven't nailed it down as to which side it came from. However, according to my genome study, practically all my ancestors, except for a sliver of NA and 3% or so of Neanderthal came from around the fringes of the North Sea. (Actually, the Neanderthal could have come from there also.) We lately out of Africa share a lot of genes. I was a bit worried when armadillos managed to move this far north, since they carry leprosy. The reason is that their normal core temp is around 96F, which the leprosy bacterial prefer. That's the reason that humans who contract it normally lose their digits, nose, ears, etc., because that's where the blood cools down the most. If I ever contracted it, it would run rampant through my entire body. Of course, they say that it takes prolonged personal contact with a carrier. Like Ebola...
Or their normal baseline, like mine, are so depressed that their temps didn't qualify as a "fever."
