FWIW, I’ve paid for iCloud for years, no intention to turn the private relay on. That said, if Apple defaults it to on then probably 95% or more of users will leave it enabled.

700,000 new housing units sounds pretty good for such a modest change? It does seem like more action will be needed in the future - perhaps once people see that CA isn't transformed into MegaCity One by this change, they'll be fur

If the vaccine was dangerous and resulting in “non covid” deaths, why would the mortality be lower for people who had a second dose than for people who just had 1 dose? Commented separately but it’s pretty clear there’s some sort of selecti

There are lots of experts who regularly interpret this data. Your comment is pretty vague, so I looked at the excel sheet myself - I assume you’re referring to table 5, “Second dose”? The highest death rate in that table is 14.6 per 100k on

Pretty much everyone on the highway in the USA is going at least 5mph over the speed limit unless traffic is congested. Police notoriously have an excuse to pull almost anyone over at any time. It’s still not a totalitarian state though.

So the USA is a totalitarian state then because people flout the laws on speeding and jaywalking in front of the police all the time.

Because covid is 10-50x more deadly than the flu, it makes more sense to advocate for precautions against it. Just got my flu shot this week, but even for the young and healthy covid is more dangerous than the flu, except possibly in young
