   How come that the "white" variant is not "white" on the front side? Like it has always been the case until iPhone 8? This is a huge disappointment for me. The big reason to have white screen borders is to reduce contrast

   I think it is rather irresponsible to make up such a number. With Chernobyl 1986 and Fukushima 2011, two ultimate MCA's happened in my past lifetime. Does your number include them? And, even if it is a small percentage: if it does happ

   Actually, nuclear power indeed _is_ a significant source of greenhouse gases. Please take into account: a) construction and teardown of the power plant (massive amounts) b) uranium mining c) responsible contaminating radioactive waste (in m

   I don't think this is a "fear" or a "feeling" thing. Accidents do have a non-negligible probability. Then it can kill people, can make land completely unhabitable. I don't have an _unsubstantiated_ "bad fe

   The question rather is if someone is able to pass on the virus, which is the relevant point today. And the PCR test is perfectly suited to check that.

   Ok, considering that the OP was heavily downvoted without anyone voicing concerns, I am frankly not so sure about that.

    For the study, they tested a representative sample that includes asymptomatic cases. Hence, one can assume a known, constant number of infected cases. And to complete the study they should, as far as I understand it, wait until they know ho

    Well, each test is different though. More so, testing wastewater is also a totally different story than testing humans. Although I find your comment interesting, I don't see how this relates to the topic of wastewater analysis.

    I don't think they can be so sure with the fatality of 0.37% without a) giving confidence intervals, and b) telling that several of the infected patients have their worst time yet to come.

    Anyhow, in this case it should not count as a SARS-CoV-2 fatality, so this doesn't affect the fatality rate.

    I am not sure if it’s even possible to give the fatality rate before everything is over because we don’t know if an infected patient eventually dies from the disease with a long delay. This is why I totally expect a fatality rate that is hi

    I agreee, but I find it highly problematic and even dubious that it’s now taken as factual by the mass media in Germany.

    So, what is your verdict? This only confirms the OP’s claim that the R0 might be much higher than expected.

    Adding to that, I don’t understand why your comment is being downvoted.

    Did you note that the example signature is a phallicism? More of these in "Signature_example.pdf". In my opinion, this is a bit childish. But on the other hand, the whole scan-and-sign procedure is also a bit childish if you ask m

    I don't get why this is downvoted? Maybe I was too concise. Then: even if the company may say what they do, the company cannot check and tell what each employee does. This doesn't have to be a malicious intent of the employee, but

    Well no, the shareholder is the feeding hand, giving money. Actually, Zoom is accused of misbehaving and biting the feeding hand. And yes, this shouldn't have happened.
