Then lend the money to yourself, if you are so convinced. Please become specific: how much money do you reckon would you need to do what that person did? If you are so convinced it is easy money, and there is absolutely nobody who would bor

There are only some islands who are in the position to effectively restrict travel, and totalitarian states whose numbers can't be trusted. Infection rates vary by countries, but a lot of it is driven by hotspot outbreaks . And some wh

Personally I am not from the US, and I don't know that the government is spewing lies. What makes you so sure? And if you are so sure, why are you worried people could be swayed by the lies - why not make them equally sure with the inf

It's surprisingly difficult to find data for previous years. I think we need a bigger picture, including the data for 2021 (when it has passed). I found one CDC number of 12% excess deaths in the US this year. It's not obvious if

Anti-vaxxing was not started by YouTube. Provide the evidence that YouTube has inflated the problem. And by evidence I don't mean "hit pieces in traditional media that don't like the competition from social media".

Not weasel words - are you saying if you were exposed to anti-vaxxer videos, you would become an anti-vaxxer? It should be obvious to you how ridiculous that assumption is. This is just hand-wavy fearmongering about "mass psychology&qu

Are you saying nobody should report about the claims? Only the courts, nobody else should here about it? Reporting about it on YouTube does not mean it will be decided on YouTube.

I've been on the internet for 23 years and I have never been forced to watch an anti-vaxxer's video. Your theory that by producing lots of videos they subvert lots of people is simply wrong. It's the same fallacy as with the

No, we will look back in bewilderment on how the whole world could have become gripped by a panic. Looking back, we will be able to look at excess deaths, not alarmist predictions.

Bullshit, it was about a biotech error, a menace created in the lab. Also you need citations for you claim that it would have been possible to stop the spread.

As I said, take out a business loan. You claim with enough money, it is easy to make money with domains. So do the calculation and go to your bank. How much money will you need, and how much can you make? Or work your way up. You don't

Not that much money, and you can also borrow money if you are not rich. It always shocks me how ready poor people are with their excuses. If you think it is so simple to make money, prove it by doing it. You claim you know of a guaranteed w

Only 20% of patients are in ICU because of Covid, so it is simply incorrect to claim that because of Covid the system is close to collapse. It is not. And if you call more than 80% use (which we don't even have) "exceptional load&

Why does it have to be a premium for getting a fixed budgetable amount? If they ship millions of containers, surely they can work out an efficient solution. Yes, at some point they need a lawyer and what not. But not every single time someb

Doesn't matter who does the insuring (external company or shipping company itself), the point is still that it would be better to have the insurance up front, instead of this risk of additional costs of arbitrary height?

But to take regular insurance, you don't need all those complicated things. I have for example a travel health insurance that only requires me to send a fixed amount of money to their bank account, instant insurance. Yeah my point is&#

Yup, taking the friction out of the process. You can also see at a glance what interesting domains are available. Edit: another benefit is that you can sell your domain to him, if you have uselessly squatted on it for years.

If you need a domain, you can buy it from him. It's better than all unused domains that are being squatted on for decades. Edit: is there a .socialism TLD already, that is unsquattable, and you only get access if you are deemed worthy

Sure, but that is exactly the case in Germany, only 80% are in use, as would be expected in normal times. Presumably they can adjust by delaying surgical procedures that are not urgent.

I have posted the official chart of ICU occupation in Germany. How can you argue with that? Covid patients are only a small fraction of the occupied beds. In general it makes sense to use existing ICU beds at capacity (or slightly below),

Just show me the excess deaths. And what if somebody has only one month to live, and dies with Covid, also a death from Covid? Maybe yes, but really worthy of hyperbole then? My grandmother died from the flu, at 99 years old. I never felt I

Why does doing it upfront require so many people, and doing it afterwards doesn't? You could just have a standard formula for upfront insurance?
