How is it an overreaction if the NYC was trying to make him famous and he didn't want to be (real-name) famous? Isn't shutting down his blog the only appropriate action then?

Great post. Couldn’t agree more. Defending Sweden’s strategy displays “results oriented thinking”, a derogatory term used in poker to describe someone who claims they did the right thing just because they got lucky and won a single hand, co

Just using population density doesn't give the full picture. Copenhagen metro area has a population of 2 million, while Malmös metro area is around 700k In practice this means that Copenhagens busiest train station (Nørreport) serves

Where are you getting the numbers for flu? As far as I'm aware the best guess for flu IFR is 0.04% compared to COVID-19s 0.4% IFR Note that CDC data on the flu is not on the IFR, they only have an estimate for the symptomatic fatality

Thank you for the sources! Initially you were implying that the IFR of the flu was 0.1% and comparing it to an IFR of 0.4%, this is what I disagreed with strongly The bloomberg link you're giving is showing that the vast amount of rand

There's a strict lower bound of around 0.5% on how mild the IFR can be looking at NYC and Italy https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.18.20070912v... There's absolutely no way that it's be

What's your source for the 0.1% flu number? People are linking to the CDC website which explicitly only looks at symptomatic flu cases. Which means it's NOT the IFR. The flu also has asymptomatic cases!
