Basically, its a politically correct way to call someone a nosy cunt.

Conceivably, you could do some sort of analysis on how much systemic racism has an impact on black lives as a measure of year of life lost, etc. But you'd also have to do the same for the 3 months they've taken from everyone else

While there is a code-like aspect to reading legalese, the law isn't as specific as a programming language. No matter how hard you try, legal documents will have ambiguity. I just read a case law week about whether "or" in a

There is no reason why it can't be "black people being killed by cops like this MUST stop" and "the rioting and looting MUST stop." Buried in your reasoning is the idea that the rioting and looting is helping reduci

That's about public v. private unions, not really about cops v. everyone else. Companies can fairly easily break a union. After call, why does Ford need a Detroit plant when they can use Mexico. But governments are lead by politicians

A couple points. Sure, but that doesn't extend to rioting and looting. The government has been restricting our first amendment rights to assemble for covid for 3 months. It's illegal to hold church services right now. Are we in

Yes, but they also had to add 50k of uncollectable revenue. So its not really doing anything for them for their taxes. It's mostly a game played between insurance provider and medical provider. They ask for 50k--knowing it the insuran

I'd say they are pretty similar in most respects. But geography is a big difference that is relevant to Covid-19. Autrstial probably didn't have community spread of covid until Late Feb. But America had community spread in at le

We are so far off from saturating the peak density in American cities that its not even worth worrying about. Ground space is somewhat scarce, but we could easily bulldoze Sunset District and replace it with 40 story high rise apartment bu

We actually don't know that. Korea has avoided it, for now. People were saying the same thing about Japan and Singapore. But both had outbreaks that flared up. They'll have to keep doing what is working until a vaccine occurs o

But you can't get everyone in NYC to completely isolate for a couple months. Millions of people in NY are still going to work every day just to keep the lights on and the food stores stocked.

They've had an ad free* version for years. Six dollars extra and you don't get ads. *Three shows still have ads since they signed a deal before they released an ad free tier, and the only alternative would removing those three sho

>How is this not a false advertising lawsuit in the making? Because it says "A few excluded shows play with ads." And its three shows out many hundreds.

Netflix doesn't have the problem because they never had ads. Hulu likely signed a deal with ABC (or the production company who make the shows) for those three shows that still have ads before they had the idea to go commercial free. C

Partially its about getting you to just talk to your doctor about your health issues. A lot of people have arthritis, but don't go to the doctor. They'll pop some pain killers and deal with it like humans have forever. But a Hum

The correlation is between countries who were harder hit with SARS. They were better prepared for this outbreak. But it's also a good deal of luck. Test and tracing works until you miss enough people that you get controlled community

Warmth is still an open question, but generally coronaviruses spread much slower in warm weather. Chinese immigrants visiting family for Chinese new year were a large source of initial infections in America, Canada, and Italy.

It's also something of a mini-hub for travel from USA to Europe. A lot of America's do a mini-vacation in Iceland on the end of a trip to Europe.

The bigger question is why we rely solely on disposable PPE for catastrophes. Instead of N95, they should be using P100 masks that can be cleaned and whose filters last a couple months in a hospital setting. They should have gowns that can

There doesn't seem to be much of a plan in place to test and contact trace in the USA. As you said we need to be getting these up in place now. And they should already be in place in areas without a lockdown. But I don't see much

There is no significant evidence that suggests aerosol transmission is a statistically significant source of transmission.

The "recovered" numbers in other countries aren't even close to accurate. Countries with large outbreaks are only testing people with severe symptoms. Korea is testing anyone who comes near someone with the virus. So are catc

There is no evidentiary basis for the extreme lock-down Spain is using. While this disease is pretty contagious, you are pretty unlikely to get it walking around outside or going for a run. Especially if everyone is wearing a mask. It'

Some of it is true, but that's because we paid in lives and human suffering. Safety and environmental restrictions multiply the cost of building infrastructure.

Sure but all those "rescue" pit-bulls are capable of killing adults. But even moderately sized dogs can disfigure a child pretty easily.

Regular people don’t need PPE right now, hospitals do. And they can all afford to pay 5X normal prices. They already are. And when production gets high enough prices will fall. If you price control, you’ll just push them all to black market

That creates a single point of failure. You then have to trust that federal bureaucracy will do a better job than everyone scrambling. In perfect conditions, it's likely true. But in actuality, I doubt it's better. I doubt federa
