Her dashboard still shows the same positive numbers as the state dashboard. The difference is the state dashboard separates numbers by residents and non-residents, while her dashboard combines the numbers.

I don't know why they call her a whistleblower. The data on her covid dashboard is the same as the data on the official state dashboard, and while the state doesn't ask for money on their dashboard, she's taking donations to

I am a man living with my mother. My mother is relatively healthy, she can work, but she cannot afford to live on her own (even before the pandemic), so she lives with me and I pay the rent, and it has been this way for me since my twenties

Should've specified that in the original comment, because significant population loss is not doing well.

Interesting to see you say the SF Bay Area is much better than most of the country, while this article says the Bay Area is experiencing significant population decline: https://www.publiccommentsf.com/post/u-s-postal-se

It is a lot more comfortable to not be wearing any mask, that's why health experts like Dr. Fauci wear them only in front of the cameras but take them off when they think the cameras are off.

One, that's some nice editorializing on the paper title. Two, Walter R. Mebane, an expert on election fraud, had a response to that paper: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/political-analysis/a...

They can't help but penalize change. Work from home is a change that is resulting in much lower tax revenue, and they need new income streams to make up for it. "It argues this is only fair, as those who work from home are saving

That would be fine if they didn't preferentially apply that call out only to certain groups of people.

Individually we can do something to fight it. If you can't block the ads, learn to ignore them.

Economics is being thrown out in favor of Modern Monetary Theory. Psychology has a reproducibility crisis. Epidemiology... isn't doing so well. And I have no problem throwing out sociology and anthropology.

How bizarre to try to make space exploration a Republican issue. The author posted stats that 72% of Americans say it's essential for the US to remain a world leader in space exploration. That is definitely higher than the percentage o

I think this is a great interview and I will definitely pick up the book. I think the answer to "What can we learn from cats?" can be to live more like a cat. But to force disinterest in an effort to emulate a cat's apparent

I think it's not correct. I also think it wasn't correct to deliberately spread a false story about President Trump disrespecting marines, but social media sites didn't take the same precautions with that story.

Interesting that this isn't more widely known. At the peak of his popularity Tolstoy was an international celebrity, not only for his novels (which are among the greatest works of literature of all time), but for his social teachings.

"If you have any possible risk factor, you should lock yourself away so me and my friends aren't inconvenienced by your existence" is how quarantines have worked for hundreds of years.

They only differ in magnitude from "criticize", but they're all the same thing. They seem overused because everyone is deconstructing everything these days.

People die from flu every year. Flu can be bad at any time. I myself had a bad flu back in January, with fever, chills, and loss of appetite for a few days, and a cough that lingered for weeks. I'm just glad I got it in January and not
