How long is a wound considered open?

How long is a wound considered open? - Lemmy.World

I’ve been having this debate with someone who is a bit of a germaphobe in my view. Say I have a paper cut on my finger. It’s deep enough to bleed initially, but it stops within a couple minutes. Maybe I need a bandaid at first, but after a day or 2, it is past the point where it starts bleeding again if I accidentally hit it or rub it on something. A couple days on, it still has the little flap of skin on it. Later, that goes away, but you can still see where it was. Finally, there is no trace. At what point in this process is the wound effectively closed? When can you resume normal activities (dish washing, food prep, go in a pool/hot tub, have a dog lick your hand) and not worry about infection?

Saw another comment that it might be the “!” that the link option placed before the text in brackets. So trying that here

If this is the case, can we modify the app to remove that?

Links in comments aren't showing up correctly - Lemmy.World

I’ve tried using the link option when posting comments and the links never come out right. If i try making the display text different than the link, it seems to be unusable Ex: Wikipedia [www.wikipedia.org] If I make the display text the same as the link, then it is clickable, but not highlighted and underlined Ex: www.wikipedia.org [www.wikipedia.org]

The U.N. says the Israeli military told it that all of northern Gaza has 24 hours to move south - Lemmy.world

Israel’s military has informed the United Nations that the entire population of northern Gaza should relocate to the southern half of the territory within 24 hours, the U.N. spokesman, Stéphane Dujarric, said late on Thursday night, adding that such a movement — involving over one million people — would lead to “devastating humanitarian consequences.” The message came just before midnight in Gaza, he said in a statement. The U.N. has “strongly appealed” for the order to be rescinded, the statement said, to avoid making “what is already a tragedy into a calamitous situation.” “The same order applied to all U.N. staff and those sheltered in U.N. facilities — including schools, health centers and clinics,” Mr. Dujarric said. Israeli military officers conveyed the information to the leaders of the U.N. Office of the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and the Department of Safety and Security in Gaza just before midnight local time on Friday, the U.N. statement said. The U.N. was told that the marker dividing the north from south was Wadi Gaza, the statement said. The U.N. Security Council is scheduled to hold an emergency meeting on Friday afternoon in a closed consultation format. The Council has not yet issued a statement about the conflict between Israel and Hamas because a statement requires the approval of all 15 members, and there have been divisions on language that would condemn Hamas’s attack but not address Palestinian grievances and the siege of Gaza.
