Right idea but I was off by 2 states.
And old tweet of mine from 4 years ago

Instead of Zitelli, peds residents get to do a month in a Florida hospital. They'll learn how to recognize the white pseudomembrane of diphtheria, lockjaw, and the 3 C's of measles.

The White House yesterday pulled a very 1984 move by rewriting the history of January 6th. Here’s what actually happened, and how it’s affected one of the officers who was there.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Hepatitis B infection in infancy (almost half of all HepB is caught in childhood) is associated with a 90% chance of becoming a chronic infection (ie the body can never clear the virus), and is highly likely to progress to liver failure and liver cancer. Vaccinating at birth has reduced this by 99%

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Be advised that Costco’s dupes are so accurate that Lululemon is now suing them. Be advised as well that Costco is much less expensive, one of the more ethical retailers out there, and didn’t come up w a name such that Asian people would struggle to say it. This is all.

If the US stops fluoridating water, in 5 yrs American children would suffer an additional 25.4 million cavities, with an added cost of $9.8B, and loss of 2.9 million quality-adjusted life years, disproportionately borne by children currently on public health insurance or who lack insurance entirely.
