The politicians who ordered them to shatter the knees of thousands of protesters must have gone through the same desensitisation training.

I am not convinced. "Built in elements" are really a small part of what makes a web application, and in many cases are replaced anyway by custom solutions. In fact, html tags are now meant to only express the semantic of a portion

This is not an official position of the Chinese government, is just a tweet by someone. And the tweet doesn't say that the coronavirus is a US biological weapon, only that patient 0 might have come from the US- and specifically in the

Let me dream: how hard would it be to create a test that can be distributed by the billions on paper strips like a ph test? You take one every evening and by the morning it tells you if you can go out or not. Is it conceivable or (borderlin

The Italian government wasn't even that bad in this occasion. Italy's been the first western country to be badly hit, and given the exponential spread of the virus it had very little time to take absolutely unprecedented measures.

Especially the 2% figure holds when intensive care is available. But if you plan to let millions get infected at the same time, there won't be any intensive care- there will probably be no care at all.

I think that given the magnitude of the adopted measures it is understandable that they were decided in the course of a few days. Stopping a country of 60 million is no joke. I'm not sure about the panic, but it seems hard to avoid whe

It would be nice to group all the functions that operate on a piece of state together in the same place. It would also be nice to prevent functions that are not in this group to make changes to that part of the state. Then you could prefix

I'm not saying healthcare is bad ("sloppiness" wasn't a good choice of a term). In fact it's very well organised. It's more that the Dutch seem to be extremely... relaxed, maybe a bit fatalistic, about illness.

I don't know, but I live in the Netherlands (as an expat) and their approach to healthcare is legendary for its sloppiness. The most common joke is about doctors responding to any health complaint by handing some paracetamol and saying

Italy seems to me the only western country to have taken decisive action. For once I am actually rather proud of my country. What are the other European countries waiting for?

Italy's patient 1 is 38 and was in excellent health before catching the virus (he ran two half marathons in a week just before getting sick). Then he spent 20 days in an ICU attached to a ventilator.

A bit less than 10x, an order of magnitude, every week. It's been really is very easy to see the future up until now. There's 9000 cases in Italy now; by the 16th of March, factoring in the containment measures, they could be 60-8
