Are we on the verge of a second wave of coronavirus infections? Is there a spike in infections in states that reopened first?

The only way to answer that question is to watch as the data roll in. Arguably the best data to look at to see if a second wave is beginning are the hospitalization numbers. The media frequently reports the biggest and most dramatic numbers, often devoid of context.

A perplexing Saturn moon mystery appears to be solved at long last.

Strange bright patches observed in the southern tropical regions of Saturn’s biggest moon, Titan, more than a decade ago are likely the beds of dried-up hydrocarbon lakes and seas, a new study reports.

The results could shed light on Titan’s climate history and also inform the hunt for potentially habitable environments on alien planets, study team members said.

Michael Crichton’s books earned global plaudits. He invented the genre we now call the techno thriller whereby it is hard to discern whether it is fact or fiction you were reading.  The reason for that was because he wove his plots around well researched facts.

University of Maryland geophysicists analyzed thousands of recordings of seismic waves, sound waves traveling through the Earth, to identify echoes from the boundary between Earth’s molten core and the solid mantle layer above it.

As the number of confirmed COVID-19 infections worldwide reached 5.6 million, with 2,430,603 recoveries and 352,225 deaths as of May 27, the World Health Organization continues to ask for immediate action in testing all individuals suspected with COVID-19.

A number of prominent doctors and scientists have shared their criticisms in peer-reviewed publications for quite some time. These opinions are obviously not promoted at all, and anybody who makes such criticisms of the “medical establishment” is usually vilified.

Are you ready for re-education camps in the United States? Colorado has introduced a bill that would “re-educate” parents who refuse to vaccinate their child with the coronavirus vaccine.
