A poor night's sleep, a moment of inattention and a tablesaw. What could possibly go wrong?
It looks like we're gonna save the finger minus the tendon that allows it to flex above the second knuckle. They tell me I'll be released from the hospital on Wed. Thence begins 4-6 weekly dr. visits in covid land with an immune system compromised by antibiotics. Is there anything I can do for the immune system under that regime?

Too late for you now, but I have seen interesting discussion of a safety device for a table saw called "SawStop". Here they demonstrate with a hot dog:
The hot dog is barely nicked in the process as the blade retracted just as it touched the hot dog. It essentially destroys the blade if you get your finger in there, but that's better than a trip to the hospital.

Should I ever get a table saw, I think that I will certainly invest in one with skin sensing tech, be it a SawStop or a future competitor.

I suspect it has more to do with less outdoor play and sterile indoor environments in chlldhood than antibiotics, but none of this has anything to do with poor seedsbelize 's short term concerns!

I'm not saying people at risk of serious infection shouldn't take antibiotics, but I have come to believe that antibiotics are given too often. And that there are a lot of unanswered questions about the interaction between digestive microorganisms and the immune system.

I would begin daily probiotics to replace the good bacteria destroyed by the antibiotics.

Isle of Springs, a little flyspeck so small it barely has a Wikipedia page. It itself shouldn't be opened this year - the only access is via boat, or exiting via Medevac/ Lifestar/ whatever. And while most cottages don't have the widespread family that ours does, the people do come in from all over the country and aren't going to want to socially-distance. It will be outright irresponsible if the island is opened, but it's run by the people who want to vacation there.
One of my relatives even said on the family group text "I could be happy quarantining on the Island for a 14 days!". Which... no. I wanted to throw my phone across the room when I saw that.

Bosch also has a working method, one that doesn't destroy the blade and can be easily and cheaply reset by the user, but SawStop has a legal department that's about as aggressive as that of Specialized. Not sure if the Bosch units are available elsewhere in the world, but they're certainly not on the market in the US.
I'll see myself and my commie pinko interest in the health over profits out the door.

I used to know the coast from Rockland to Mt Desert fairly well, loved it, and would love to go back. Wife and I were all set to help a friend deliver his boat from Annapolis to Portland over Memorial Day, but that's obviously off. We also have a standing invite to go up and do a classic boat regatta or two in July or August on my main Bermuda ride, but we probably won't make it.
