The Navajo Nation has a sky-high obesity rate. As a physician there you know this. And you also know that obesity is a primary driver of hospitalization in younger people. Fry bread is poison. It's not representative of the whole. A

Here's the data on Ireland, and your suspicions are correct. It's not anchored in any fact. We're in a world where Rolling Stone and CNN will parrot a completely false story about a mass of gunshot victims in rural Oklahoma

The media sites you linked to are not "broad" at all. They are all very much left-of-center and toe a very ideologically consistent line of standard left of center COVID Hawkishness. The kind of people that told us we definitely

You stated the percentage of COVID patients in the ICU who are under 65. What you didn't state is: 1) Are ICUs in Ireland being pushed to capacity or not? 2) What percentage of ICU beds are occupied by the totality of covid patients?

Where did you get the idea that monoclonal antibodies aren't highly effective? Do you have any data to back this up? They are an FDA approved, clinically proven first-line treatment for anyone with symptoms showing them at risk of ho

Isn't this the case in the US, but in a slightly different manner? We're talking about a majority of adults being vaccinated, and then according to seroprevalence tracking over time, it's estimated that a large percentage of

What's the hospitalization rate of delta in the vaccinated? It's pretty low. At this point, the vast majority of the unvaxxed are younger, lower risk people. The high risk people who aren't vaxxed (fucking idiots) are now h

You are judging a response that is motivated by "abundance of caution" with zero limiting principle. They don't trust the South African data (in my opinion this is old fashioned bigotry by rich governments towards government

I stopped trusting the media's reporting on covid when it became blatantly obvious that they were completely ignoring and obfuscating the risk stratification by age. It was clear to me that they were motivated to do this by elevating

Could you please cite a source that says most transmission is pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic? Is that new with the delta variant? The studies I've seen have more recently concluded that asymptomatic transmission is far lower than pr

Agreed. Think about the fact that the result of a low birth-rate with better medical tech keeping older people from dying when they otherwise would have. The result will be a far higher percentage of voters in democracies will be beneficia

Less virulent, less dangerous than delta by far, according to the South African medical authorities who first identified and reported it. It's been a long established medical fact that viruses evolve to become less severe over time, d

Your comment can be loosely translated to the following: "Authoritarianism can work. It's just the wrong people were in charge. If me and other people like me had the same power as Stalin/Hitler/Mao/Mussolini&#x2F

This. People who support these kinds of activities are youthful and arrogant enough to have any form of humility about things they once passionately believed to be true turning out to be incorrect. In the 90's, eggs were thought to be

Multiple services I use were totally skunked, and none were ever anything but green. Sagemaker, for example, was down all day. I was dead in the water on a modeling project that required GPUs. It relied on EC2, but nobody there even though

Not the author, but not a reasonable request to make. It's not like the concept of "finding a needle in a haystack" is novel. There are dozens of projects with the name "haystack".

I've been looking at this for a while now. My company has a need to accurately identify, with high precision, records in elasticsearch, but with a bit more of a semantic match that existing elasticsearch plugins don't support. Id

As a user of Sagemaker in us-east-1, I deeply fucking resent AWS claiming the service is normal. I have extremely sensitive data, so Sagemaker notebooks and certain studio tools make sense for me. Or DID. After this I'm going back t

Based on what I've read this variant produces relatively mild symptoms, but is theorized to be more transmissible amongst vaccinated people due to heavy mutation on the spike protein the vaccines create immunity for. Is this correct? I
