wtf is a "feminine hygiene infection?"

[edit]

"The lack of bathing and poor diet will lead to rampant feminine hygiene infections; deep cuts, rusty nail punctures, and dog bites go untreated with antibiotics, tetanus shots, or rabies treatment as more die from common infections." yeast infections? bacterial vaginosis? the hell173.62.124.209 (talk) 13:48, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Start

[edit]

Began an article about the March 2009 book One Second After. Thanks to Jerry Saperstein for writing a first draft for the plot summary for this article. I believe that this article is necessary because of the book's appearance on the New York Times Best Seller list (and several other best seller lists) and the Warner Bros. motion picture which is under development.

Number of nuclear weapons

[edit]

I corrected a factual error in the article, which originally said that three nuclear weapons were detonated over "Kansas, Utah, and Ohio." In fact, there was just one weapon detonated somewhere over that area.

On page 341 of the hardcover, General Wright refers to "...Three missiles total. One launched from a containership out in the Gulf of Mexico and burst over Kansas, Utah, and Ohio... a medium-range missile capped with a nuke inside an oversized container."

Wright goes on to explain that the other two missiles were launched over Russia and over Japan and Korea. 67.164.125.7 (talk) 19:10, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Adaptation

[edit]

JMS reports that it is now to be a feature, not a series: https://twitter.com/newmanian2/status/1609935056474193920/retweets/with_comments 24.212.231.232 (talk) 02:05, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Prescient description of the aftermath of Hurricane Helene

[edit]

On 9/27/2024 Hurricane Helene forced the Swannanoa River and the French Broad River over their banks, cutting off a large part of Swannanoa from the outside world. Cell phone communication was disabled for several days. Bridges were washed out, landslides and washouts made road impassable. Food, water and fuel had to be airlifted into the community. On 9/30/2024 Washington Post headline read ‘Completely and entirely erased’: How Helene swallowed one mountain town. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2024/09/29/helene-wnc-storm-north-carolina/?utm_campaign=wp_todays_headlines&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_headlines&carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F3f25f64%2F66fa76a67867fa4f1177ad65%2F63fb540d454ceb40f92cb071%2F11%2F69%2F66fa76a67867fa4f1177ad65 2601:C6:D281:2A40:9B5F:CE6F:5579:9E90 (talk) 12:49, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
