STATNEWS.COM -- "Contrary to the impression that if extremely ill patients with Covid-19 are treated with ventilators they will live and if they are not, they will die, the reality is far different," said geriatric and palliative care physician Muriel Gillick of Harvard Medical School. Researchers in Wuhan reported that, of 37 critically ill Covid-19 patients on ventilators, 30 died within a month. In a U.S. study of patients in Seattle, only 1 in 7 patients older than 70 on a ventilator survived. Gillic also said that older patients, who do survive, risk permanent cognitive and respiratory damage from being on heavy sedation for many days if not weeks and from the intubation, adding "we need to ask, are we using ventilators in a way that makes sense for other diseases but not for this one?" In a letter last week in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, researchers in Germany and Italy said ...
[H/T MOHIB EBRAHIM] -- ARTOFMANLINESS.COM -- Though St. Augustine would become a bishop, church father, and one of the most influential thinkers of Christianity, he was slow and reluctant to accept the faith. As an eminent scholar and master of rhetoric, he was initially skeptical of a religion that seemed to him backward and unsophisticated. At 30 he met Ambrose of Milan, an older man who could match Augustine's sharp mind and deft oratory. He was also a Christian. Ambrose's keen intelligence married to sincere belief disrupted Augustine's preconceptions of what men of faith looked like. Someone he greatly respected was a follower of Christ compelled Augustine to reexamine his opinions. When someone remains unconvinced of something, we often think they haven't yet heard the right argument. Usually, though, they just haven't yet met the right person. Ambrose ...

ARTOFMANLINESS.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Hazar Imam, 2020: "We must remain strong and prepare to build, and to build well, when this crisis passes."] ARTICLE: If you ask most people "What's the opposite of a fragile person or organization?", they'll likely say "robust" or "resilient." But Nassim Nicholas Taleb would say that's wrong. He argues that if fragile items break when exposed to stress, something that's the opposite of fragile wouldn't simply not break (and stay the same); rather, it should actually get stronger, and he coined "antifragile" for this quality. It's no longer enough to bounce back from adversity and volatility - to be resilient. You have to bounce back stronger and better. You have to become antifragile. In his book, "Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder,", Taleb makes the case that people, systems, organizations, things, and ideas can be described in one of three ways: fragile, resilient, or antifragile. Now, what is fragile? The large, optimized, overreliant on technology, overreliant on the so-called ...
