As far as I've read, the number of healthy 30 year olds who went to the ICU and had organ damage is vanishingly small. Is there somewhere this is happening in any statistically significant way? There's a lot of ways a healthy 30

I hear this regurgitated very often but I've never seen any evidence of this. Basic reasoning follows that there would be some drop in cases as a result of the forced closure of all non-essential businesses, but due to the universal n

Geez, you're really off base on a lot of these comments. But to start somewhere: > $1,200 in tax from 4,000 digital nomads is...$5,000,000. Thailand's economy generates $500,000,000,000 a year. How are you only measuring direc

The loudest complaints are always from the groups in the minority. Lots of people have small businesses who are suffering, or jobs that are basically incompatible with social distancing. But also think: just Bank of America employs 200k+

I think a lot of your downvoters will be reconsidering their positions after a few months of horrific economic effects. In my experience, people are much less altruistic when that altruism has a real, personal cost associated with it.
