Well there are plenty of catergories that make little sense. Why is Dick's Sporting goods closed but Walmart is open. Why is Kohl clothing store closed but Target is open. etc.

I live in a county of little over 100K residents, one death occurred over the outbreak, a 91 year old person died of COVID19. Over the weeks we had a total about 65 known cases, all sent to recuperate at home, with a single patient in the h

No one is advocating going back to usual. Just to stop the irrational hope and actions that seem to target impossible benchmarks - you can't eradicate the disease, not a chance - instead, learn to live with it. And you do that one step

it is a game of Russian roulette where there is one bullet per 100K empty chambers.

the number of cases (infections) is at least an order of magnitude higher than the reported numbers.

I don't think that is realistic to expect unless testing would be as simple as blowing into a sensor. why not apply this to every disease then? We could then stop every transmissible disease once and for all. you know what the real sol

at what point would you think that no contact tracing is necessary? Should you track people that are not at risk at all, just because some people are? What percent of those people should be at risk for this to make sense? these are the type

The best summary of how "science" and an epidemiologic modeling is not governance and the tradeoffs of most governmental actions are seemingly not even recognized let alone balanced.

ok bascially you are saying that no deaths have been or will be caused by the lockdown and why vaccinate since herd immunity already affects everyone (never mind 10 if not 100 million vaccines have not been administered) there is no such th

Nobody, including Sweden advocates doing nothing. What they and other people that use a bit more foresight say is that there is no need to panic and overreact - and that you can get the same results with measures that do not make your popul

The problem with the number of fatalities is that only one fatality is tracked. Where is the counter for the children that die because not getting immunized because of the lockdown? (Turns out there are already tens of millions of them not

the comparison makes no sense, of course they will have more cases, the goal was never to match the number of cases. Every country will have to reopen like Sweden, most plan to do so within weeks, note how no country has eradicated the dise

I now believe that no one really knows much about the spread of this virus. Hence I find it naive to predict that the peak was on one day or another, plus it is very unlikely that Sweden would not get even more cases. They are most certainl

ha, as if that matters. if a law like this passes you will be mandated to carry one with tracking enabled. The gov may even pay for a low end model like that. I would never voluntarily run an app like this nor would I consent

All evidence out there indicates that continuous exposure in closed environments is what spreads the infection. Would droplets hang in the air for that long? Most likely not. All the mask evidence is purely speculative of the style: "i

by glofish 7y ago
I for one doubt that home-made reusable masks have much effect especially considering that it is unlikely that people use them and clean them as required. The surface of the mask might end being the a source of infection that keeps exposing

Excellent summary. Thanks for taking the time to write it up.

Not sure that makes any difference. Not only are death rates sharply higher in older people, but their infection rates relative to the population are also higher as well.

not really, usually there is less competition for developing vaccines as the timelines are more relaxed and it would be a waste of money to have several groups discover the vaccines to the same disease Multiple different vaccines could (and

one problem with all these projections is that they all assume everyone is the same and that it is just a matter of chance. Not true in the least bit. those most susceptible get the disease first, those most sensitive die first - I believe

it is more like would the 20% population go to the hospital if they suspected they had the flu if they did the hospitalizations would rise as well one reason the hospitalizations are falling has less to do with the numbers of cases and more

first you say 0.1% is the CFR for flu then, in the same sentence you claim that it is probably closer to 0.01% because people don't go to doctors with the flu. Are you arguing that after all this time we still don't know what the

All I am saying people there breath the NYC air every single day. Can't possibly be good for them, especially in the light of some chronic pulmonary inflammation induced deaths. The point on the lower bound of 0.2% is informative. I di

it doesn't contradic Ioannidis at all. He might be right in the end, and that would be an incredibly bitter pill to many. We are getting closer and closer to the flu fatality rate. from 5% to 3%, then 1% now 0.5% - smart money (and com

Well, it looks like in the end that much-criticized imperial model might be right on transmission rates but way off on the fatality rate and with that predicted deaths. It pretty much looks like none of the epidemiological models are reason

This is saying one could have an informed and correct opinion on any matter unless they are directly involved in that particular field. Oh, the movie sucked? Are you a professional movie critic? Have you ever directed a movie? Oh, incarcera

I am summarizing what science states. I have read numerous scientific papers on both SARS, MERS and COVID-19. It is pretty clear that the diseases are not similar at all. (SARS - MERS yes, SARS - COVID no). Are seriously claiming that scie
