UserWiki:Kirk
I am using this as a sample to show others one of the ways their "UserWiki" pages can be used.
I use it to post URL's I plan on reading later or posting in more detail on this wiki. This page can appear in other user's feeds if they request it. A url can be placed right between "<embed>" and "</embed>" with a space before and after.
Simply copy this: <embed> </embed> Click on "edit" in the menu at the top of this page then paste it where you wanted it and then paste your URL in the space between.
The UserWiki pages can also be used more like a Facebook type of page with a variety of more personal postings and opinion memes.

This is especially true with respect to the mean annual temperature (MAT), where the main mode occurs around ∼11 °C to 15 °C (SI Appendix, Fig. S1). By contrast, much of range of precipitation available around that temperature (Fig. 1G and SI Appendix, Fig. S1) is used, except for the driest end. Soil fertility does not seem to be a major driver of human distribution (Fig. 1H), nor can potential productivity be a dominant factor, as net primary productivity shows a quite different geographical distribution (Fig. 1I), peaking in tropical rainforests, which have not been the main foci of human settlement.

There has been a lot of controversy and conjecture about various statistics surrounding this virus. Such as when will Herd Immunity be reached and what is the fatality rate relative to the infection rate (just how deadly is this virus). This antibody testing study https://www.governor.ny.gov/…/amid-ongoing-covid-19-pandemi… is the most thorough I've seen so far...... Just focusing on NYC; the infection rate (I think this is the highest in the country) there, appears to be at 20%. Herd immunity is approximated at 67%. So they still have a long way to go. For those who've been infected, the mortality rate is 1.4% (higher than the rough estimate of 1% but much lower than early estimates out of China). The mortality rate is higher for those over 65 with underlying conditions....When analyzing the breakdown of deaths by age and condition, we can observe how, out of 15,230 confirmed deaths in New York City up to May 12, only 690 (4.5% of all deaths) occurred in patients under the age of 65 who did not have an underlying medical condition (or for which it is unknown whether they had or did not have an underlying condition).
Underlying illnesses include Diabetes, Lung Disease, Cancer, Immunodeficiency, Heart Disease, Hypertension, Asthma, Kidney Disease, GI/Liver Disease, and Obesity
"At the age of 11 (a few sources say 12), Elizabeth “Libba” Cotten wrote a song called ”Freight Train,” which would go on to become a folk classic. Yet she didn’t reap the benefits of her lifelong talent until she was 66 years old and a great-grandmother.
Rhiannon Giddens was born Feb. 21, 1977, in Greensboro, North Carolina. A recipient of the prestigious MacArthur Fellowship in 2017, she tells her own story in this short video, including her desire to reclaim the banjo as a key instrument in African American music history."
