Most Americans have never had a month off work in their lives. It will probably help mental health for for them at least.

Sure they do, it's a major repair bill for many people. If we wind up with critical infrastructure that was previously stable randomly rotting, it will likely disrupt our current uptime rates, require expensive preventative measures an

There is nothing to say we were right to let the flu do that, and I would argue that we should reassess our moral compass in the face of all suffering and death as a society. This event should be a wake up call. We should invest much more r

Another scary comparison is to overall mortality from all causes. 475/1734 (based on 633,000 deaths in 2018) is equal to 27% of all other deaths per day in Italy, period. If/when it takes off outside of Lombardia, it could well be

I think you underestimate the length of the flu season and the numbers for COVID-19 are therefore much worse. At least 4 months, but really 5 with one of them more mild so 4.5 months for the flu season. Also we should use the average year s

Hopefully. But the health care system in Lombardia has to be the best or at the top of entire the country. Southern Italy will struggle with fewer cases.

It's Amazon, to me it seems more likely they are tuning their ML with human input than they somehow need an hour to spin up AWS for their shiny new baby.

It's not like there are week long courses on how to wear a mask. Most anybody watching a youtube video or two could wear a mask mostly correctly, so that it would mostly do what it is intended to do. Nothing is perfect, but the goal is

Don't buy after the first big city is quarantined. Maybe after the second or third... But know you are taking an incredible risk unless you are using funds you can hold in that position for years.

It could very well be like the flu and require vaccines for new strains every year. It has a similar single strand rna structure prone to mutations.

I think their point was it should be paid from a public fund instead of by the individual business, although I suppose most businesses must have sick pay insurance to pay this, do they not?

Could I trademark someone else's face and claim royalties? It seems like a legal stretch, or at least indicates a legal reality I can't support. Unless he has secretly had so much plastic surgery he designed it.

Fortunately mortality for children is also very low. I completely agree with your perspective that this does not free us from worry or the human standard to care for others even when we are not immediately affected. We are also unaware of a

That explains a lot to me. The actors need those visual cues, and it shows through in the final product. It was a great result. I look forward to improved acting as this tech makes its way into other works.

I am no expert, but the wiki mentions the biography and that he disputes the claim made there. You are right it is inconsequential either way.

I was renting out a house in the greater bay area a few years ago. Someone copied the ad word for word, photo for photo, and posted it half price. I was alerted by a suspicious apartment seeker. I think searching CL or even just the web wit

But since salt impregnation almost certainly reduces air flow, there would likely be a higher real world failure rate for salt impregnated masks. I would not be at all surprised if this was a worse negative than the salt improvement in real

Rentals are almost 40% or the market so it will have a real effect. Of course this requires more changes to our systems. But given the terrible status of current US social structure, anything you do worth doing will likely fail without a nu

I understand the renter dilemma. The goal would be to propel you towards home ownership. If taxes were higher on investment properties purchase prices would get pushed down, thereby reducing the amount your landlord would need to charge for

And what happens when people live longer and longer, so that people have lived a longer percentage of their lives without that influx of assets? It is perfectly common for 60+ year olds to still have their parents living. That will stretch
