The first 10% to be infected, are also likely to be the highest spreaders (people in close contact with a high amount of strangers). The effect should hopefully be higher than 10% reduction in the reproduction rate.

I wish this was the situation here. The limitations in most of Europe and united states are much much harsher, including no schools and mandatory closure of all non-essential business.

I think that the answer is that we don't know what's the effect of each measure. The fact that Japan & Australia did not employ contact tracing, but also managed to contain the spread shows that there are other factors at play

What bothers me the most is that the comparison is always against a hypothetical "do nothing" strategy, ignoring the fact that different countries have employed different strategies, some of them have been highly successful in con

Just pointing out the irony of you being one of the first comments on a Coronavirus post, and claiming to be cured of the obsession :-)

Can someone enlighten me on where would the money come from? Spain annual revenue from taxes seems was $320B in 2019. If they spent all of it on UBI, it would translate to just $500 a month a person.

Maybe you can help me understand a simple example - if there is a gene that controls the eye color, how does it express itself as eye color (vs something completely different)

Wow. It’s crazy how much it went down from this! Definitely “money that I can afford to lose” type of investment!

Is there any efficient way to invest in oil? While a prolonged lock down is definitely a possibility, it's also quite possible that the market will recover which should bring the price per barrel closer to normal range. Edit: Really su

Why is there no way to set a limit on billing on AWS? Especially for cases like this, where killing testing instances does not have a dramatic negative effect...

Here is a reason to believe that the data is biased. If you look at any county in California - you’d see a large drop on the exact date that the statewide shelter in place was ordered. This is obviously before any of the effects of isolatio

But if other airliners are doing it, wouldn’t this create a case for the government to let you go bankrupt since you are clearly less efficient then other airliners?

Yes, this reek of fake news. If Doctor really had to make the tough choice of who to keep alive, it wouldn’t be just an age cutoff (and definitely not such a young age), but a spectrum of input, including life expectancy and quality of life

First mover advantage is valuable when every user makes your service more valuable to other users. This makes it harder for other companies to enter the market after a dominant player appears.

If they provide it to you on a vesting schedule like other companies do, you gain time in market - i.e. you also gain the stock appreciation until they are vested.

The UK proposal is a surprisingly effective way to handle this. By paying paying workers a percentage of their wage directly, you are protecting both the workers, and the companies that can now cut their costs by moving a large portion of t

Extreme testing policies wouldn’t hide exponential growth - if it is growing exponentially, you’d expect the number of people meeting the criteria to also grow exponentially.

We are looking just at the trend. And the testing methodology that different states take is just a multiplicative constant of the confirmed cases. And exponentially growing function will make it negligible.

What we are seeing is that the warmer the place, the slower the growth, with tropical or very warm places (Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, India, etc.) showing an R0 < 1 The point is that places like California will experience slow growth w

The projections are ignoring a very important datapoint - there is significant evidence that COVID-19 does not have a positive R0 in warm climates. This means that in many areas, there is no need to flatten the curve - it will flatten natur
