Encouraging results from Pfizer. We should fast track third doses, especially for immunocompromised, as the Delta variant continues to surge across the US. cnn.com/2021/07/28/health/pf… #vaccination #vaccines #Covid_19 #CovidVaccine #GetVaccinatedNow

Too fast and poorly communicated @CDCgov. With variants and most children unable to be vaccinated, we risk losing the progress we've made. #COVID19 #coronavirus #vaccine nytimes.com/live/2021/05/14/…

Nice article today from the MIT Tech Review on the importance (and lack) of AI/ML research focus on real-world problems: technologyreview.com/2020/08… #ArtificialInteligence #MachineLearning #research #DataScience
Italy is overwhelmed with COVID-19 cases. They’re putting a huge strain on their healthcare system. In America we have even fewer hospital beds per capita, so it’s even more important for us to act early. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List… #CoronaVirusUpdate #Covid_19 #coronavirus #COVID

Exciting news, considering how slow the USA has been in testing for COVID-19. #CoronavirusPandemic #COVD19 #Covid_19 #CoronaOutbreak #coronavirus
Update. The Cleveland Clinic has developed a COVID 19 test that gives results in 8 hours as opposed to the 2-3 days it takes for the other tests. They developed the test in NINE days, I repeat nine. Scientists worked 24/7 once the CDC gave them the okay on 3/2.

Interesting site that tracks info for the Wuhan Corona Virus: thewuhanvirus.com the total number of infections has surpassed SARS, but the mortality rate remains comparatively low. #WuhanCoronavirus #virus #Coronarivus #coronovirusoutbreak #nCoV19 #stats #infectiousdisease

IBM bids to brand the new type of AI that combines the virtues of Symbolic AI and Machine Learning. Take a bow, Neuro-Symbolic AI. (Not sure that Symbolic AI is the cure for edge cases, though. For that, you need a model of the world, ie common sense.) digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/…

Some interesting perspectives in this article. I’ve tried (with mixed success) to reduce my phone and social media usage over the past few years. technologyreview.com/s/61493… #phoneaddiction #phone #distracted #hooked
A fun read... for those at home on NYE, pour a yourself 🥃 and try it out yourself 😜
There’s a much easier way to derive the quadratic equation. bit.ly/2SDMa9r
