Well my anecdotal observation was that the population themselves knew the drill. The second they heard "SARS" they didn't need government permission to social distance or wear masks. My in-laws stayed put and didn't se

But what does that 80% mean? We know that New York's hospitals are overrun. We also know that in countries where the hospitals aren't at capacity the mortality rate is much lower. Look at Wuhan vs the rest of China. Or Singapore&#

Yes - part of the strategy of flattening the curve is to buy time to scale capacity. Dedicated covid19 hospitals also have the advantage of isolating covid19 patients from high risk non-covid19 patients (e.g immunocompromised cancer patient

Imagine all 65M people in the UK caught the virus then a 10,000 case fatality number would give a rate of 0.015%. The rate itself has no time element so it tells you nothing about the number of people in hospital right now and hence isn&#x2

Right, but this mentality leads to greater good type causes to require martyrs amongst other types of people. A failure mode of this is brain drain - see most civil service jobs in the west or NHS doctors in the UK. Additionally can create

this kind of lazy thinking is probably no small contributor to the rest of the wider world squandering its 2 month advantage over this virus. I don't disagree with you that there are many suspicious acts surrounding China and this pand

I think it was more a case that the timings of this were before the pandemic had spread widely outside of China and the lockdown outside of Hubei was much softer than inside. But the locals were more individually prepared to comply with gui

While you are reasonable to be sceptical over the official reports, I have no insight into the true number, I am sure there is still some lingering virus floating around in China. That said, you are grossly underestimating the cultural resp

They are similar. People who deny this are overly romantic and/or inexperienced. Fundamentally when you encounter a potential partner or employee/r you are trying to answer the question "will we work well together" Then

This reminds me a lot about Noria DB. Wonder if anyone familiar with both can shed any further light?

Because in a capitalist world without this kind of safeguard creators would all be at the mercy of money rich megacorps who can copy any work and out-maneuver them in distribution and advertising. All while making platforms richer.

This is cool but the hotlinks to the visualization seem to break UX on mobile. Often I get jerked to the visualization as my reward for my thumb landing on a link when trying to swipe to read. This is frustrating given that my screen is sma

From here[0] it seems like there is an additional mechanism by which people can be at risk: >Peng: Based on my observations, a third of patients exhibited inflammation in their whole body. It was not necessarily limited to young adults.

I don't know anything about you so I suppose take this with a pinch of salt as I'm probably not best placed to tell you about yourself. That said, I hold a general belief that attainment in something is not dependent on your &quot

From experience WebRTC starts to fall down in rooms of more than 8 people for video chat. Meanwhile Zoom and Discord (who use servers) can achieve much greater so YMMV That said p2p definitely has its advantages

I don't know why you get downvoted for this. The current assumption that GDP must always grow (and consumption must keep increasing) seem to be in direct contradiction to the idea that we must stop consuming so much if we want to save

Routine is definitely helpful for things involving habitual tasks (like going to the gym). Humans are loss averse and at some point, breaking routine becomes taps into the loss aversion and there actually is a friction to not going to the g
