I disagree that the danger of mutation does not add anything to the conversation. If it is real, then it just shows how important it is to act now swiftly and to not rely on developing herd immunity. And you are right, mutations can go both

You are right, I edited it out. The mutation remains a potential issue though.

I don’t know why you were downvoted. Maybe because of the second sentence? Mutation is a very real problem. After all flu goes through it all the time. That is the main reason why we get flu regularly. Second reason is that the immunity may

A large number of available and accurate tests definitely mattered. But that is not merely enough, someone had to make decisions and coordinate the efforts. I have no idea who that was, but they did a great job.

LOL, thanks a lot for sharing! Really made my day here, and I needed that :)

Note that I am not an M.D. But, consider getting a pulse oximeter. You can use it to assess your respiratory function (more) objectively. Anxiety and panic attacks can impact your oxygen saturation, but unlikely to do so to dangerous levels

Maybe I came off too hard, and lacking details didn't help either. My point is, this is a situation without precedent, unlikely to repeat very often, and not all private industry is being nationalised. Same goes for banning short sales

You are seriously oversimplifying reality to fit it into your world views, here.

+1 for "World War Z", the book, which I literally read at the beginning of the current pandemic, by pure coincidence. It was an eye opener, at least the parts about how the [zombie] pandemic began and spread, how people and govern

That is not correct for some days now. Many other countries in EU have entered a state of emergency with various levels of quarantine at national level: Italy (but that's old news), Spain, France, Belgium, Estonia etc. None as extreme

They don’t need an understanding of exponential growth, they only need to look at examples: China, extreme measures and barely contained it; Italy delayed measures, turning fast into a disaster. How many examples do we need?

Oculus Rift :). Haven't tried it yet, but I can see how it would remove distractions from the (local) environment.

The problem is, virtually no VC is taking cold calls anymore (did they ever, really?). YC is great if you are early stage and need the money, networking and yes, validation. Their knowledge and experience are also very useful, but they alre

Transmission doesn’t occur only via droplets. The virus is supposed to survive for up to 9 days on surfaces/objects in normal conditions, and for up to 28-29 days at low temperatures: “Droplets transmitting coronaviruses only stay susp

If stopping is not an option, delaying (or decreasing the speed of spreading) is the next best thing. Who is to say we won’t have a vaccine or some other treatment soon? Delaying means reducing potential deaths, suffering and economic impac

What was your critique of China's measures? To me the extreme measures were just an indication that they understood better than they let the rest of the world know what they are dealing with. I mean, they locked down entire cities at w

There are many, but I personally follow this one: https://covid19info.live/ (formerly wuflu.live) Here’s a list of other similar websites/apps/telegram/whatsapp groups: https://github.com/abuu

Would that mean Covid-19 would progress faster once inside the body? I assume that could mean an infected person’s immune system could be overwhelmed, hence resulting in a more severe case and even death.

There’s something off about Iran. According to Wikipedia [0], Spanish Flu killed a much higher percentage in Iran too, in comparison with the rest of the world: “The World Health Organization estimates that 2–3% of those who were infected d

You haven’t read my comment from two levels up. There’s nothing to fork on the original repo.

This is not an example. This is an explanation of how it could happen. Can you share an actual case? Such as, a startup that went through this.

We are beyond fighting this with technical solutions. This can only be properly fixed via regulations and laws. Unless it can be proven that certain information is required for the product to function, it should not be collected. If it is r
