Sweden's got 10m people, and 87k cases as of mid-Aug. That's less than 1%, so claiming "herd immunity" is BS. They also have almost 6k deaths. Analysis from a month ago projects Sweden's GDP falling 4.8% in 2020, an

I think the catch is that "microlibraries" can still contain reasonably large amounts of functionality that's non-trivial to replicate. I'd be happy enough to import single-function dependencies for "urlencode"

If a restaurant is making $2m/y gross, with a 5% profit margin, is $100k/yr profit. If they need to take a loan to cover 3mo of missing revenue, that's $500k. If that loan is an _amazing_ 0 interest over 5 years, the owner ba

Parent's "wealth for all" does not mean "wealth for each." Of course taxing the wealthiest to share with everyone results in the wealthiest having less than they would otherwise, which is why they tend not do do so

We were able to essentially starve SARS out of new people to infect. It had a 2-7 day incubation period, was not contagious before symptomatic, and spread by bodily fluid (coughing up water droplets, spread by touch to another). COVID-19 ha
