This surely cannot be correct. If it is, there might be some hope in all this. If a large amount of this 100k can have the virus with minimal symptoms, that could mean we're overestimating the CFR.

Agreed. I couldn’t identify even one “startup” actually threatened by these changes in the article.

International law etc goes totally out of the window in a crisis like this. Look at Austria shutting the border to Italy, technically contravening the Schengen Agreement.

I'm usually pretty libertarian and I think private healthcare can work. But right now it really, really can't. Massive issues are down the road, and not very far down the road (14 days).

> The Italian PM has specifically asked them to tone down their reporting as it was causing panic. That doesn't mean they are being untruthful, though.

Something I love about pandas is that often you can pass a URL in place of a file name. The other day I needed to scrape data from a table on a webpage. Thinking about traversing the DOM and building up an array was already giving me a head

Sorry to say this, but the US is going to be even worse than Italy. You have not been testing nearly enough people.

Maybe the government will actually do something now. We are going to see more and more political leaders catch this.

Yes, surely it’s better to have a slow rise in demand for food while supply chains are still intact, rather than having a sudden panic when it gets worse.

This doctor is simply trying to warn people of what is to come. Anecdotal evidence is never ideal, but in some situations it’s the best we can have. I don’t see any motive for this doctor to create undue panic or hysteria.

As a retail trader I'd lean towards yes. You have to remember that you're competing against professionals, who have (most of the time) considered all the information you are seeing and more. Markets often don't move as one wo

Reports have just come out that Spain has had its first death from this virus. The really significant news is that this death occurred on February 13th - before any cases were reported in Spain at all. This is very concerning. https:/

Note that this patient died on February 13th. This is before any cases were confirmed in Spain at all. This is extremely significant news.

This post is dripping in PR-speak. “Retransforming” the event? Can we not just have plain English for once?

If you’re in a major city, this is the time to start taking preventative measures. Avoid mass gatherings and public transport if you can.

Yeah, and this "solution" is like trying to put yourself out by dousing yourself in gasoline.

IIRC Paris has only instituted rent control since last summer. Rent-control might "work" short-term, but the long-run effects are very damaging

Rent control is in its infancy in Berlin. The long-run effects will begin to emerge at some point. Also a direct comparison with London is not useful. What matters is the relative change in rent in one place over time. Berlin's rent wi

The article mentions Berlin's rent controls. Just going to put it out there that rent controls almost never work, and tend to have the exact opposite effect that they are intended to. Rent control isn't a solution to a housing sho
