I'm guessing they from the US. Here we have had absolutely terrible communication from all authorities regarding outdoor activities. It's heavily frowned up to do anything outside of staying inside.

Tap/swipe requires you to be able to extend hand to a specific terminal. QR tags can be: - Printed all around the store/restaurant - Zoomed in from distance and still scanned

Or for example if you want true no contact, you can scan through protective see through plastic.

Doesn't require active internrt connection. There is an SMS and credit based fallback for when connectivity is low. Scanning is better than tapping as it can be done from range.

This is what always surprises me on HN when talking big tech. Same level of arguments as an online news article. Have you even read their latest releases? Ridehailing in US as a singular unit is insanely profitable. The take home is incredi

In states with legal weed it's definitely a mix of social acceptance. Daily social drinking is okay, weed to unwind is okay, weed in parties is okay, but getting blackout drunk gets old fast.

Your final statement is completely missing the huge swath of research intelligence and advancements we have now compared to February. Even if removing the spike is not possible, moving it to a time with better knowledge of the virus or even

I am not sure which way you are trying to portray it? Sweden as a good example or a bad one?

Why wouldnt you get an opinon from your doc first before getting a specialist you might not even need?

What do you mean by the Sweden mention here?

It's actually a lot better. Even in countries with near constant sunlight, d vitamin deficiency bus prevalent. It's more related to our lifestyle than just geographic location.

Why not just use on HMO?

So negative effect of masks seems to only be a social effect, that can be combatted by proper messaging and PR. Seems like an easy problem to deal with.

Is it the attitude or is it the system?

Yes for some very small and rich minority. Good point!

Yes, no one is debating the potential negative outcomes of having COVID. Not sure what you are trying to show.

I guess I should have been more explicit. It is very obvious that in early 2020 we barely knew anything about this specific Coronavirus. The fact that we are still following the same guidelines as we did in February makes it pretty obvious

Thanks for putting this thought experiment into numbers, even if they are arbitrary. It really helps to form some estimation of a mental model, and shows how goddamn complex all of this is.

Its supposed to reduce it, but we don't know how much. We also don't know how well those standards are adhered to. Could you link the study that backs the 1%? How is that statement better than just coming up with a number?

by Jommi 6y ago
Yes your last sentence is correct. It is very obvious what's happening, yet even people here on HN (who usually challenge this kind of populist stuff) don't seem to understand it. It's very intriguing.

It seems like an acceptable level of risk to me as well. But is it an acceptable level to all the people you counteract with say within a week? Is the cashier at your supermarket, that lives with their 6+ family members, ok with you doing t

You're just again repeating this same unscientific fearmongering as everyone else. Yes, there are possible outcomes that are absolutely terrible and potentially even permanent! Nobody is debating this. However, what we need to have a r

I find this completely wrong. Every time I want to answer a question, googling it will give me 2-3 pages of SEO hypercharged shitty articles that take way too long to go into the point. Compared to opening 2-3 reddit threads you get 20-30 o

There are still young people that die from driving a car, or getting pneumonia. I'm not sure what you're trying to say here

I mean this isn't really anything new. Cash use in major Chinese cities is next to nothing, all money might as well be virtual already.
