This line of thinking could be extended to banning junk food, motorcycles, cars, etc.. Where do you draw the line?

The question is if/to what extent does the booster prevent transmission of Omicron. We already know its transmissibility is significant greater than prior variants. If the effect on transmissibility is small, this argument would not ho

Would be interesting to know if/to what extent it prevents transmission. Assuming the booster reduced severity, but not transmission, it would make little sense to require it, since there is little/no negative externalities by som

Given the relative weakness of the (current) vaccines vs Omnicron, do these mandates make any sense, or is it largely security theatre at this point?

Wishful thinking is a powerful drug. The same technique is used on dating apps, where a beautiful "girl", explicitly seeking sex, sends you a link to some paid service, to "verify" your account or some nonsense.

I think they could have done a lot better by having Elon tweet out a new product preorder page (limited edition Tesla merch?), which accepts payments in crypto. Really anything other than give me X so I can give you 2X, which has been done

Given the ability to completely access arbitrary Twitter accounts using an internal tool, begs the question, how else has this been exploited?

I would like to see more discussion around, if the initial viral load is related to the severity of the infection[1]. If yes, then in theory, a mask could provide large benefits, even in absence of a perfect seal around the face. [1] https

I prefer to have my cake and eat it too. Is that too much to ask?

The most charitable explanation would be, that this phrase is considered derogatory and offensive towards some, akin to say the N-word, and they have banned it on those grounds. Seems unlikely though.

This is the first time I am seriously considering leaving Gmail. Seems like a royal pain in the ass to switch though, since you don't "own" your email handle like you would a domain.

As with all such matters, its about the slippery slope, and setting precedents. The belief is, we can have our cake and eat it too. e.g. we will allow free speech, except for the egregious cases like X, Y, Z. The problem of course is, who d

> But given a choice between being alive and being jobless To be fair that is not the actual choice on offer. Its more like being jobless, vs accepting a certain (in some cases low) probability of dying.

Unfortunate, since the actual document seems quite reasonable.

Just to confirm, ipfs.io is a centralized gateway, and none of these browsers actually embeds an IPFS client. Correct?

Not to diminish the possible successes, but without a randomized control trial, there is no way the success can reliably be attributed to the medications. That's not to say they should stop prescribing it, simply due to lack of formal

In theory, so long as one does not make contact with their nose or eyes, except in a shower (after washing hands), all infections can be prevented, besides airborne-based intake? Has it been established that infection cannot be caught by co
