As a EU citizen how do you deal with larger unemployment, most especially seen in sub 30 yo unemployment rates of 10%+? Better mobility and ability to create and destroy has costs and benefits.

To what type of positions ? So like a barber for a random secretary or mail room etc? Or just all up and down the chain

30M jobs “lost” in a forced moratorium. They will be gained back when the shenanigans passes with this flu. Not like people will stop drinking, going to activities, spending money and become monks after a couple weeks.

Can anyone who isn't part of the über elite in tech actually provide a point of view on this? It is very easy for the well-off to always comment with "Not paid enough and so i always add a 25% tip on top". Let's get this

It’s true of everyone given 150 years. Sure, but an 85 yo with 3 diseases was on the front of the queue. We need to test for those who had it and didn’t die. All evidence is pointing at orders of magnitude that had it but didn’t show

Can anyone actually tell me what was the cause of death if an 85 yo already had 3 diseases prior to this virus? If a person has a terminal disease and has N months to live, but dies sooner from a car accident, the net deaths did not increas

As a veteran myself, I’d much rather any sort of money went into something that isn’t the disease of the day. Kind of find it hard to believe out of all the things one could do to help veterans in Alaska, this is the one thing he wants to d

A detailed break down by age. Then bonus points would be a column showing the mortality rate of a person in that country. For instance an 80 yo in the US has a 6% mortality.

get a raspberry pi and run your script at home 24/7. As long as you have access to the internet this would be a neat little way to do it.

i don’t doubt it. But that’s what he said. Very few people alive in this specific field with this much domain knowledge. Are you his peer in this respect ?

They are market makers not those battling the swings at the micro second scale. Yaron Minsky replied this in some random video I saw a random night, though I cannot recall which. So their edge isn’t based on speed. They gain more from corre

Why is this flagged? Can anyone or a mod enlighten me? dang?

I don't understand how the whole age thing doesn't make you think for a second your conclusion is a bit misguided. Can you elaborate how you think a population of average age ~60 handles any disease? For reference, a 70 yo has a

Now imagine a population that was averaged in the 30's years. What do you imagine the death rate to be then? it wouldn't be half, as it scales non linearly the younger the person gets.

Quick now do the same for the 50 other countries nearby. What was their reason?

by whb07 7y ago
Yes there are some possible treatments and a number of vaccines are already being studied now.

I’ll give you a couple reasons why Italy is the mess it is: 1. Significantly older population 2. Shitty healthcare For context many years ago, the state of Ohio in the US had more MRI machines than all of Canada combined. It’s very possible

Where did you get 10% from? We should treat them as best as possible but not by stopping the world. Look up the actuarial tables for a 70 year old. Living another year is significantly different than for a 45 year old. Then lookup the survi

That it impacted the kids and 20-30 yo cohort the way it impacts the 70+ yo. Also those co-morbidities like high blood pressure have the all important age distinction missing. So yeah if you’re 70 and have high blood pressure it’s worse. It

Holy cow. Notice how everyone literally says “there’s not enough testing” but yet you’re able to rationalize the CFR as valid. What you see going to the hospital and getting tested CLEARLY is the most critical number of cases. It’s possible

I’ll tell you what we do. We don’t shut down the country and destroy millions of lives and future generations. We definitely don’t do it if there’s already overwhelming evidence this impacts the 70+ year old crowd. We can talk dream scenari

Nowhere have you seen numbers that remotely approach 1-3%. You’ve seen the critical, largely elderly population get tested and from that you get that number that’s freaking people out. Stop spreading panic. With those kinds of numbers China

Because everyone keeps parroting what you're saying. We are effectively now in a fear bubble. So now everyone's mindset is "stop the world lets hunker down and cower in a corner for the impending doom. Nothing positive or new

Except it’s significantly less than 1%. You should find the actuarial tables and life expectancies for an 80 year old. It ain’t sunshine and rainbows.

by whb07 7y ago
Because you’ll see other countries who didn’t and they aren’t dead. Not only that, is that at what point, is current and future generations well being worth to save the population that’s largely impacted by this? Meaning, it’s perverse to s

It has been over 3 months. We are going to look back and realize this disease isn't that deadly. The places that had excessive deaths like Italy will turn out to have been poorly managed, equipped, and staffed. Not to mention other thi

Not if you live in a rainforest with ample access to water. It’s got very little value, whereas in a desert it’s got high value.

Also 2% of 2 billion is 40 million dead. We are 3 months+ since this outbreak started. Everyone keeps talking about how exponentials are hard to grasp, but whats harder to grasp is: fear + exponentials + too_many_unknowns == impossible to p
