Vaccination reduces the exponential in the transmission. More hospital beds just fights a constant. Doubling healthcare capacity roughly lasts for about 3 extra days if no other measure is in place. I'm all for improving healthcare, in

And this is a completely new virus. If regular vaccines vs mRNA is apples to oranges, then vaccines vs. any other option to solve the problem is oranges to a truckload of durian.

While population density in Australia is low, the population is very concentrated. Half of the population lives in only 3 cities (Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane). Arguably the US would have it easier to control, since half its population is in

Duolingo is great to get your feet wet, but its teaching model doesn't scale past A2/B1 levels (and in speaking/listening even less so). This valuation is enormous for a company that's virtually been for 10 years in loss

I haven't read from them, but as a general thing, GoF research is very directional, so in practice the experiments will pressure a virus to gain a function, but the rest of the functions are usually impacted to a large extent due to th

Again, it can be both, (and IMO chances are it's both). It could have been a sample from nature that leaked out of the lab. There are no signs that it might be man made. There are no signs that it might have evolved in GoF research. Bu

They're certainly scummy but, I mean, this isn't any different from the claw crane machines that are usually exempted from gambling laws under certain conditions (win chance, prize value, where they're located, etc); machines
