What Could Possibly Go Wrong? Outbreaks of Injustice Linked by Two Different Dobbs.
BY MIKE MAGEE
Under the definition for the noun, epidemic, there are two main (and distinctly different) definitions. I know this fact because it was the beginning point of my preparations earlier this summer for a Fall course on “The History of Epidemics in America” at the Presidents College at the University of Hartford.
The entry reads:
Epidemic nounep·i·dem·ic | \ ˌe-pə-ˈde-mik \Definition of epidemic (Entry 2 of 2)1: an outbreak of disease that spreads quickly and affects many individuals at the same time : an outbreak of epidemic disease2: an outbreak or product of sudden ra...

Lifestyle Medicine Could Be The Key To Digital Health Adoption
I’ve been wearing several generations and types of smartwatches for a couple of years and I only remove my watch when I shower. I use it to track my sleep and its smart alarm wakes me up at the optimal time every morning. With the pocketable Kardia, I regularly check my ECG at home to detect any anomalies. For an in-depth analysis of what my genetic makeup predisposes me to, I had my whole genome sequenced. And I bring relevant data to my general practitioner during my checkups so that we can decide on preventive measures. In short, I’m trying to live like the patient of the future, using lifestyle medicine to prev...

New Philippine President Marcos Jr. Likely Won't Repeat Duterte's Foreign Policy Mistakes
Monday ' s all-but-official election of Bongbong Marcos as the next president of the Philippines will hold significant implications for Manila ' s foreign policy. He is likely to be influenced by the policies of both his father, former dictator Ferdinand Marcos, and his predecessor, Rodrigo Duterte, yielding a new government interested in engaging China while keeping the United States close by.

Let the Sun Set on Solar Tariffs
ConclusionThe best decision by President Biden would be to refuse to extend these solar tariffs —one ofmany examples of how freeing trade can help counter climate change. Yet what may well prevent Biden from making the best decision are the politics involved and, especially, the prospect of being accused of favoring China and abandoning U.S. labor unions. But surely Joe Biden should have realized by now that, in any trade decision he makes that relates to China and regardless of what he actually does, the president will be accused by his political opponents of kowtowing to the Chinese government. And if his goal is to ex...

Duterte's Dalliance with China Is Over
When Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte took office in 2016, he pledged to shift his country ' s foreign policy away from the United States in favor of China and Russia. His China-friendly policy is now effectively over, and he ' s doing his best to align the Philippines with the United States once more. (Source: The RAND Blog)

Peter Hotez is shrill
He beginneth:The initial United States government response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was marked by a frequent disconnect between government policies and the recommendations of scientific experts. A disinformation campaign from the Trump White House convinced many Americans that COVID-19 injuries and its death toll were exaggerated, leading many to ignore public health recommendations (1). Those who dismissed the severity of COVID-19 were more likely to shun face masks and ignore recommendations to socially distance from non –household members (2). Such individuals were more likely Republic...

Memorial
I usually do a Memorial Day post, so okay I ' m late this year. I noticed yesterday a common trope, about remember those who " died defending our freedom. " (Here, for example, the Veep.) Err, no. Or for the most part no. The origins of Memorial Day are a bit obscure,but it appears that the earliest precedents were remembrances at the graves of Confederate dead, and indeed the first official observances were in former Confederate states. I ' ll grant you that the Union army dead had fought in the cause of freedom for people who are now at least nominally a part of our national community, so put one credit on the...

China Has Lost the Philippines Despite Duterte's Best Efforts
