지킬박사가 하이드가 될 때도 ‘약성분’ 탓이었지
검사로서 수사라는 업무에 평생 종사해온 그답게
‘주석야청’ 이 비유가 가져올 파급효를 알지 못했을 것이다.
검사가 어 이 사람, 혹시 무고한거아냐 라는 의심을 갖게되면 수사는 꽝이다. 멀쩡한 사람도 매사에 죄지은 의심을 가져야만 수사가 가능한 이치

그래서 그의 눈에는 호남 당원들이 낮과 밤이 다른 정체성을 갖고있는 사람들로 보이는 것
아참,
지킬박사가 하이드가 되는 것도 약성분 탓이었지
실망좀 그만시켜 쫌

Nearly 60% of Americans and ~75% of children have been infected by Omicron, as indicated by antibody testing

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

The relative and absolute benefit of the 4th dose (in Omicron wave) is substantially less than the 3rd (Delta wave) vs severe illness
3rd dose report https://t.co/BTr17wQzpf
Relative: nearly 20-fold (3rd dose) vs 4-fold (4th dose)
Absolute: 7.5 vs 3.9 cases/100,000 person-days

Just published @NEJM
4th dose vaccine protection in >620,000 people vs 3-doses in >620,000, all age 60+, Omicron wave, Israel
—4-fold lower rate of severe disease, no waning at 6 weeks
—2-fold lower rate of infection, rapidly waned

@EricTopol In S Korea, for people aged 60+, 90% are booster vaccinated. Social distancing policies waned. All schools opened. It seems young people have decided to get natural immunity.

[Young-Ho Khang @yhkhang1]

@EricTopol From South Korea. Currently about >300,000 daily cases and about 300 daily deaths (maybe 1/4 of these deaths are not attributable to covid but other underlying diseases+infections detected during hospitalization) are occurring. The fatality rate is 0.1% or less.

What works to reduce #SARSCoV2 aerosol transmission in schools?
Opening windows: 14-fold decrease
Surgical face masks: 8-fold decrease
[Natural ventilation, face masks, HEPA filtration]:
≥ 30-fold decrease

If you have any interest in how particular skills developed in early life, distinct from "intelligence", can influence long-term outcomes, this is a great explainer of a recent systematic review on non-cognitive skills and their effects (or lack of effects)
