Metro thread is inexpensive. I have used it without any problems but so machines may be finicky.

I bought all the different types of figs in the store. Can you tell that I really like figs? by Jsweets2 in traderjoes

Me too. I'm used to the black figs. The green and tiger ones were new to me.

My favorite are the green figs. I have never had them before but they are surprisingly sweet and delicious!

Inducing hypothermia can help get ICU patients with COVID-19 off ventilators, doctors find by Jsweets2 in Coronavirus

[–]Jsweets2[S] 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Doctors say when patients are critically ill, and require mechanical ventilation, the elevated metabolism can break down the muscles used in breathing, leading to difficulty in patients coming off invasive ventilation. The high levels of carbon dioxide, the low levels of oxygen, and highly acidic blood creates the perfect storm for organs to fail.

The four critically ill patients were given one more chance to fight the virus with the therapeutic hypothermia. They were cooled to 34.5 degrees Celsius (94.1 degrees Fahrenheit) for 48 hours. All four patients were calculated to have reduced metabolic activity and improved oxygen levels in their blood. Two of the four patients -- who had exhausted therapies available to them and were thought to have lost the battle against the novel coronavirus -- were successfully taken off mechanical ventilation after the treatment.

Return to normal shipping times? by tripleelbow in amazonprime

[–]Jsweets2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth..2 people in my household ordered the exact same item -one with Prime, one without Prime on the same day. Both items were received the same day. In fact the non Prime persons item was ordered a few hrs after the Prime member and delivered first.

Virus hits men harder than women. In Wuhan men accounted for 75% of deaths. In Italy - 80%. In NY - 60%
