I would fully expect the movement to gain strength. Some balance needs to be found between risk and cost so that the people that are not at risk don't have to carry the brunt of the costs. Because that's really where this is going

I am not sure I follow, the stock market is not discussed here, it is about the global economy, the word "stock" is not even present in the cited work.

This makes me realize that I never understood macroeconomy. After shutting down the economies for the developed world for multiple months the prediction for the global economy is ONLY 3% down? I don't get it. Makes no sense frankly.

Now ask yourself - do you believe that Louisiana has a more stringent, more accepted and more enforced lockdown than say Massachusetts or Pennsylvania? Yet the epidemic seems to slow more drastically in Lousiana than most other states. Why

we will see, but it is just hard to fathom that with all these social distancing measures in place you still have 400K in the US and seemingly very few in Brazil and all these other places where for large swaths of the population social dis

SARS-COV-2 is made of a single long RNA segment. The flu has eight segments. With that you get a substantially higher rate of recombination.

Obviously that can't quite be universally right, look at Brazil, look at Malaysia, India. Look at Easter Europe. It is pretty clear it can't be 5.7 all across the board.

I always felt the dashboard looked and felt sensationalist and provided less information than what it could have. Most of the view is used up to create a map that looks more like a board game, and perhaps fits people's perception of wh

how is a massive change in the predicted death rate used to justify the current measures propaganda?
431.
by glofish 7y ago
it is ridiculous to equate this with the DOW when regular people with no investments are the ones the most severely affected

deaths are not a reliable metric at all. old and sick people are far more susceptible.

I always thought the Imperial model was ridiculously fatalistic, but this turnabout, and this quickly - that really surprised me.

read what the report says: [...] coronavirus will probably kill under 20,000 people in the U.K. — more than 1/2 of whom would have died by the end of the year in any case [because] they were so old and sick [...]

one important element is a behavioral pattern A person with flu and fever would probably stay home and just rough it out, a person with fever fearing the coronavirus will probably rush to the hospital. If everyone having a fever in a flu se

the problem with that approach is that treats everyone as equally susceptible most likely those more susceptible get it first it is not clear what percentage of the population would either not get it or if they do get not get noticeably aff

winning the fight? I think for that the fight would need to be over. It remains to be seen which strategy works in what way.

I did not advocate "doing nothing" instead I said let's see what the current measures are doing.

I think people should be allowed to express a different opinion. We should criticize and point out mistakes, but let's not demonize. The world is complex and interdependent, overreacting can be just as bad as not doing anything, what w

No patch available but one of the recommended mitigations is to: Rename ATMFD.DLL would it be possible to have a patch that renames this file for me, if that is indeed a desirable and workable solution.

perhaps what you are missing is that even lesser measures could have massive impacts, - do we need to take the temperature of everyone at each hour? almost certainly not. Should you be reporting in from every location? almost certainly not.

I think it will fundamentally reshape a few aspects of life - and not all is bad. Needless, gratuitous (business and other) travel for one - which in turn will lead to much better housing prospects for young people. Treating a house as inve

It has always been like that, only usually it is not this obvious. All advanced societies are built on the exploitation of someone else, you just did not get to see who those people were. Note: I am not endorsing the choice - just observing

If the strategy works the UK will benefit massively. It is like seeing an experiment playing out at a societal scale. We are all looking at it from a personal level, but successful societies have always been built on sacrifices of various k

it all depends what "higher than thought" means. If you mean the day-to-day numbers, those will always show variations, and paradoxically those will even show a substantial uptick once the spread slows down. The most vulnerable ar
