It was all middle ground strategy from day one. The national lockdown was timed to the nyc wave and that was a probably a mistake depending on how you view the purpose of the lockdown. If it was to flatten the curve, outside of nyc, we did

Thereby increasing corporate profit at expense of the worker and taxpayers. Moreover, it benefits the Ivy League at the expense of all other universities. There’s a need to differentiate and the Harvard name becomes the criteria rather tha

No, it’s not. The push for maintaining manufacturing capacity is not about jobs though that’s been one way to try to frame it for a myopic populace. I thought more people would figure that out given PPE shortages and the inability to produc

Come a long way since Aaron Swartz. Let’s hope the reform continues.

Especially in a culture that puts the individual and his “needs” above those of the larger group. But why should the public good be a consideration?

But did we actually have “politicians pushing drugs”? “Push” sounds to me like “suggest people take.” I’m certain that the president didn’t tell anybody to take anything. He said almost verbatim what dr fauci was saying elsewhere at that

I seem to recall that we were shipping a lot of masks to China back in January, perhaps that’s part of the reason.

The conviction rate is a great example. “Very good reason” like Aaron Swartz trying to share scientific literature with the public?

There may be safer zinc ionophors and we have to reserve some of the chloroquine supply for the important people. Thankfully many doctors are smarter than our news media workers.

Any cite for your claim placebo can’t prevent a covid death? That seems unlikely given how powerful and common the placebo effect seems to be.

Nobody thinks they are complicit but in reality we all are. Some can accept this while others let the cognitive dissonance drive their behavior in convoluted and hard to discern ways. Redemption only comes after accepting that we’re born

Lockdowns vs no lockdown is an false dichotomy. The lockdown didn’t impact many people like myself, and many people can still be financially impacted even without a lockdown. Some people and businesses have actually been thriving. So your m

Also politicians. They too are trying to fight the good fight and help their community. Pretty much any position of authority attracts a certain mindset yes, but also changes the person who assumes that authority.

The point was exactly that, to keep low wage people from going back to work. They set the rates higher to disincentivize people going back to work. Don’t blame people for responding to public policy the way they’re intended to respond, blam

They were wiring large amounts of money to people in Oklahoma rather than their own state. That there is no effort put into preventing fraud, which was guaranteed to happen, is down to negligence of the state government. Part of that is on

“Don’t usually occur” They do. People write code to create all sorts of bastardized abominations of “csv” or tab delim or whatever. It’s why the featured article gets reposted every few years. You can define a standard for csv files, but th

Young people with thrombosi are very rare, so not high risk from that standpoint. As an individual that might be assessed high risk, but in aggregate it is not.

A lot of coughing and high risk individuals at the symphony though, unfortunately.

If they are big in the sense of having a lot of employees then this is good news. If they are heavily capitalized low employee count businesses like a lot of tech startups, then that’s a bad thing.

Korean doctors are able to speak for themselves and we should rely on the studies themselves to inform discussion, not hearsay from a third party source about “scientists agree” whatever the heck that means. What do the Korean doctors who a

I don’t get how they would “force you with them.” Nobody cares if you choose to self isolate. If you like this there’s no reason you ever need to go back. For many people there has been no change and will be no change, if things ever do reo

Wouldn’t ecg changes be plausibly the result of the virus itself? I haven’t read the paper so maybe they go into greater detail but it would be important to know whether such changes were seen in the control group as attrition/disconti

Most mainstream news has moved away from their earlier “we should more worried about the flu” consensus they were pushing during the democratic primaries.

Agree. This will ultimately be horrible for the environment. Environmental regulations will fall by the wayside and look at the price of oil.

Multiple sources indicate that’s the severe percentage, and we know a bit about untreated ards. Moreover, deaths from lack of capacity will not be limited to covid cases. And many of the current non-covid icu cases may be exposed to medical

Maybe it is irrational buyers who are getting the benefit this time. A lot of unknowns right now. Past performance does not always predict future gains.

Correct. The death rate doesn’t really matter. What matters is no herd immunity, high r0 and the percent of cases that are severe. I’d also add that human error and the inexplicable need to not sound alarmist and to conform to peer pressure
