These are not side effects of the disease. These are side effects of the "safety" measures such as "shelter in place" and lockdowns. I feel that you are side tracking the discussion. The original topic here is that a dis

what if the measures you take because of COVID kill more than 0.024% of the population should you still take those measures?

perhaps because the data is not nearly as simple, all indications are that the data are quite contradictory, we neither understand nor are able to properly describe who gets infected and why exactly those and not others. I cringe at all the

this is like saying have you regularly proven that you are not guilty of crimes? It is really not how it should work at all. Assuming everyone is infected at all times is both absurd and most importantly unworkable and counterproductive. Th

It all hinges on the reason and due process of course. I read an amusing analogy, we have what we call the "Schrodinger's disease". The government tries to protect me from the disease and suspects me of spreading the disease

not true at all. The inflation has been gigantic, when expressed in as the price of owning a home or getting educated. the traditional measures of inflation expressed in the price of other goods are not capturing the real story. Those good

The problem with your math there is that by and large, we are talking about the same people - only the timeline is different. It is just as possible that over a longer time period say a year the math will be radically different. We'll

I am talking about the choice of word and testing wether he means it or not. If he said that the would not mind paying more for taxes, that is ok. Saying "it is not fair" is just populist BS - would you keep money that you honestl

Saying just get title insurance is exactly what I meant you should be prepared to know what is required and is not something you should jump into thinking of it as easy money. When you are buying a typical real estate the cost of title sear

overall awfully misguided advice. when you buy foreclosure you are buying all responsibilities for the home - past debts, mortgages, liens, future taxes, repairs etc - in addition you are betting that future appreciation will all pay off -

no what I meant is that during the process of grinding up the rock they mixed in the organic matter from the surface of the rock into the dust itself, the bacteria lived off that substance.

you just exhibited the fallacy of equating a restaurant to a beach (or being outside). You are also using "exposure" in the most generic sense of "presence" within a distance. That's really not how it works. Like I

by glofish 6y ago
you are confusing the response with the disease - mandating that people cannot go to go to the beach is not caused by the virus, it is caused by a bureaucrat. There is no evidence whatsoever that going to a beach causes infections. If anyth

you can easily turn that feature off there may be reasons to do so but is the cost one of them? It is probably infinitesimally low.

this is the elephant in the room, it is not fashionable to talk about, it does not fit the current narrative - the scientific "group think" when it comes to the virus is incredibly strong

Doesn't the WHO advocate a course of action that will cause people to die? Of course they do, it is just that different people will die at a different time. It is more fuzzy and diffuse rather than a data driven counter.

there is no evidence for that whatsoever. You have absolutely no data on what takes place in India - it is a gigantic country with gigantic variation across. Plus the families are much larger, all confined together. When the train was shut
