The countries who had strict lockdowns are having second waves. The countries who had lax lockdowns are seeing a second wave. With the exception of island nations and those who imposed restrictions that are not legally possible in most of t

China has done so with restrictions that would never fly in the West, in that they are illegal or unconstitutional. New Zealand did so by virtue of being an island and thus having tight border control. South Korea and Vietnam are interestin

A lot of clinics are doing "video only" visits. These are not nearly sufficient to accurately diagnose a patient. A good deal of clinical visits is assessing the overall manner and appearance of a patient. This can't be done

The response to COVID. Delayed treatment for heart conditions being a major source of death. Alzheimer's deaths are up a lot this year as well, and isolation exacerbates Alzheimer's. Suicides are up, as are overdoses and murders.

Not sure if you are being tongue-in-cheek or not but it is a reference to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosopher's_stone . A keyboard that turns minor things to "gold".

That’s part of the thesis of the article. Some populations mix more than others. In the mixing populations the threshold will be higher. In populations with limited mixing, lower. 20% of NYC can have the virus and the general level for herd

Hey, I am sorry to hear of this and I hope your wife (and you!) find answers and see improvement. I want to be very clear that I am not dismissing long COVID. In fact, I am hoping that via a more accurate diagnostic environment (which it se

RTFA. The article covers why this wasn't Azure related. Or keep on beating the same old drum while the rest of the world has moved on.

The spike protein makes it for virulent, but is also a "feature" that the immune response can attack. Double-edged sword really.

That simply is not true. You are comparing apples to oranges. First, SK and Taiwan has potential latent immunity with SARS v1, and China literally imprisoned an entire city. Canada is the only fair comparison.

Really? https://www.statista.com/statistics/1104709/coronavirus-deat... For we are doing great, but we are not the worst either. That is basically the story of the USA in general I think

Deaths will continue the slow roll until herd immunity is reached, either artificially via a vaccine or naturally. Masks, distancing, lockdowns do not _prevent_ infections, deaths or otherwise. They _delay_ and _slow_ infections, deaths etc

I appreciate your honesty on this and I am glad to hear you are doing better. The way our medical field is tipped so heavily towards treat symptoms and not causes is surprising to me. I watched the show "Afflicted" on Netflix, and

I am not being glib, I am legitimately curious how many of the post-COVID symptoms could be somewhat psychosomatic. Imagine getting tested for COVID, you've had it hammered in to your mind that this is a terrible disease that you are l

tl;dr People are overinvested in the opinions they held in March, and will find evidence to support what they believed then. On one side, we have the cohort of people who see this as literally the worst thing ever and we will all die. And y

This is neither surprising nor concerning. It is exactly what you would expect from a coronavirus, remembering that a lot of what we now call the common cold is caused by various coronavirus strains. It would be shocking if we did _not_ see

That was my point. The violent actor in the above referenced incident was a self-described leftist. The post I was responding too laid blame for the riots on the right wing protestors

Unsafe is relative. I don't think I'll be assaulted, but I do think I could be robbed, or my property stolen. There is also the constant risk of folks in mental health crises or high as fuck being unreasonable or aggressive. Stay

Agreed. I am a rare breed, I am an enthusiastic Biden supporter. And a very enthusiastic Harris supporter. But I see the Democrats ripping defeat from the jaws of victory yet again. The problem is pearl clutching. When every. single. thing.

The headline itself is a bit too alarmist to me. But my main beef with this article is the definition of "beat" that they seem to be using. At no point in my mind, or I hope anyone else's mind, did "beat" mean zero

Could you cite this assertion? The data that I've reviewed shows a pretty robust immune response, especially given a booster within 1 month. This is specifically for the mRNA vaccines by Pfizer and Moderna. Please also remember, when s

The Pearl District isn't too bad, especially if you are not a fan of gardening and the such. However realtors tend to use a very liberal definition of what the Pearl District is, and the closer you get to the river, the sketchier it is

Density isn't really the problem in Portland. There are a LOT of empty apartments in this city. There are also a LOT of "short term rentals" in the city that sit vacant. Here are the concerns that I do not see addressed with

If this were a serious logical debate, I wouldn't use it. It is indeed a fallacy, but it expresses a phenomenon in a way that is generally understood by most people. That is, acceptance of one link in a chain of events makes the accept
