The information is already public - why distribute it widely when there are potential negative consequences for the named in doing so? Are you the judge to rule whether the individual has lost his right of privacy? Yet you comment here unde

It's 3 cases and they are already implementing a city-wide lockdown.

You are absolutely right, lockdowns are just a proxy, the real factor is behaviour. If everybody behaves lockdown-like, lockdown can be avoided. You don't need lockdowns to stop the healthcare system from being overloaded, if everybody

Completely agree, would not want to live in China either. My comment was a response to parent, who feels betrayed by science, because lockdowns were supposed to work. What I will say though is that there is no win scenario. It's lose-l

How is that a contradiction? Unless some right is absolute it will always be relative to the rights of others. The questions is where to set the limits exactly and misinformation is indeed a grey area. Hence the discussion.

Okay, so you are saying that lockdowns do work, albeit in exceptional cases. Then how did the lockdowns work in say New Zealand or Australia, or Singapore, or China? What is the mechanism of action?

I'm not sure I understand. New Zealand did lockdowns for a month or two and became completely Covid free. China did lockdowns for a month or two and became almost Covid free. Most European countries did lockdowns for a month or two and

I've worked with sleep labs on a project regarding actigraphy data and another interesting tidbit is the fact that we wake up 20-30 times per night but have no recollection of it. We don't know why this is the case, but one theory

I've interacted with a number of different sleep labs (Germany and UK). All physicians I've spoken to are well aware of the fact, however, the effect size of what they are typically looking for is greater than this 1st night effec

I'm not sure what your point is: Do you disagree that red meat is a carcinogen? The fact that we have studies that show the full spectrum of association is exactly what you would expect, and, assuming no biases, is a strong indication

Exactly. Here is another point in case: Go to the website of whichever body governs nutrition in your country (or the WHO) and see what they recommend and why. There is no global conspiracy against red meat, it's simply our current sci

I would also be interested in a concrete example. E.g. TC discounts Tesla's tech advantage over competitors too much in my opinion, but flat out wrong? I'm curious.
