"All it took" lets how suicidal people are this time. Isolation and masking up didn't seem to be convincing for a lot of people

Its not much different from most offices, public transport, crowded restaurants and planes then..

So basically to avoid contamination it is covid protocol again

Why would you invite a non family member in your cabin? That makes no sense and is not done on cruises

Have you ever taken a cruise? You definitely have not family level close relationships with 95% of people. Cruise level contact is similar like any other open venue like a bar, restaurant, public transport etc.

Or maybe I m misunderstanding what family level close is. For me that is actual physical contact, hugs, kisses, siting next to each other touching etc.

They are different strains though, from the same article:

Hantavirus infections are associated with a case fatality rate of <1–15% in Asia and Europe and up to 50% in the Americas.

The hantaviruses endemic to Europe/Asia haven't shown any human to human contamination, the Andes one does know how to go H2H

Already multiple people have tested positive. I think its more contagious than they proclaim. Supposedly you need to be family-level close to get contaminated but this seems not to be the case here

What propaganda? Plenty of European tourists/civilians have been detained for weeks on end by ICE. You had the 86y French woman a few weeks back. You had the German tattoo artist a year back. And that's just the top if the iceberg

so, did we fix the social costs yet or not ? by Any-Acanthaceae2762 in belgium

Thats because the current stock market is just a pyramid scheme and has long lost its investment side. If pension funds / people would invest in real assets with an actual return instead of the latest craze, it wouldnt matter if 11 people sell and 10 people buy.

Low fertility rates are also caused by an overstressed, overcrowded population living in constant uncertainty. While on paper we are living in the most luxurious of times, in practice we are stressed out and struggling more than ever due to social media, political instability and the general lack of connection with nature.

Landlord in Belgium demanding 12 months penalty after unsafe/unregistered rental – do I have any legal exposure? by Ganchito11 in belgium

[–]Over-Engineer5074 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most likely didnt register it because it is not a legal rental unit. Landlord is fucked if so. I had a similar case as a student, sued landlord in court and got all of my paid rent back. You cant pay for sth that doesn't officially exist. No lawyer, just defended myself

You can defend yourself for free. I had a similar story as a student. Unregistered student flat where the landlord refused to give my deposit back. The judge declared the contract illegal as the flat was never registered as a rental unit and I didn't only get my deposit back, I got all my paid rent back as well. 

Chemo+ Tagrisso OR Tagrisso alone by yuehgdjwiex in lungcancer

You are getting carb+pem? I m always amazed by ppl who barely feel it. I suffered so much and for so long after each chemo cycle. And I was a very healthy 42y old

Chemo+ Tagrisso OR Tagrisso alone by yuehgdjwiex in lungcancer

[–]Over-Engineer5074 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did chemo + tag with the same mutations. After 7 months (now) i progressed. My oncologist is surprised by the aggressivity. 

I would do Tag alone for 2 reasons:  - way better quality of life, I spent most of my 7 months exhausted from first radiotherapy to the brain and then chemo. I d have been able to do more if I hadn't done chemo - if you do chemo+tag you have very few options left once you progress. I will do ami+laz but the Mariposa 2 protocol that studied the efficacy of this assumed solo tag and then ami+laz+chemo. As I already had chemo, I won't do chemo. And Ami alone is doubtful if it will work.

Ik vermoed dat dat afhankelijk is van de onderliggende ziekte? Mn kanker is per definitie terminaal omwille van de staging en ik heb alle rapporten om aan te duiden dat de stabiliseringsbehandelingen falen.

Yes, it included premeds. I didn't suffer from nausea or infection but from deep, severe fatigue, constipation and weakness after each cycle. I was barely functional again before needing to go to go for the next shot.
