Twice as contagious = half as deadly?

Iceland has the most comprehensive testing, and their fatality rate is around 0.3%.

Who is rejecting addition and subtraction?

The concept of communism is in the name. Individuals don't own property. Everything is common to all. Hence, the need for force against those who want to individually own something.

how are they worse off?

It seems all millenials have vastly better lives and prospects than previous generations.

How do you propose to take away everyone's possessions and give them to the state without full blown authoritarianism? I assure you no one will do so out of the goodness of their heart.

Math has stuck around immutably since the beginning of recorded history. Maybe other areas of human endeavour, like art, has the same access to immutable realities.

My thought is since this is a new virus it will spread faster, and hit peak sooner. Also, those who are most affected are a small portion of the whole population, which will again imply faster time to peak.

It isn't about proportion of population, but whether they are only testing people already admitted at the hospital, which will drive the estimate up, or testing the wider population, driving the estimate down. SK is doing the latter t

It seems that 'all available' would diminish the signal of Iceland's good stat. What we really want is 'all good stats'. I think only South Korea is the other country with extensive testing. According to my model

It is close to the other country with a lot of testing, South Korea.

That sounds a bit like a tautology.

Is it possible to create an at home cov2 test with a $25 homemade PCR https://hackaday.io/project/27623-coffee-cup-polymerase-chai... and some synthetic DNA derived from cov2 (seems to cost about $0.09 per base pair)?

The important question to ask is 'why?' Are these people just stupid ignorants requiring being spoon fed information, or is there something more going on?

Perhaps free speech saves lives, too.

The point is Iceland has the best statistic on death rate due to comprehensive testing.

Sorry, I misread. This doc says (look at last couple pages) the 2014/2015 and 2017/2018 seasons had over 25k deaths from flu. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/... So my calcul

Perhaps their ability to influence is tied to decades of trust lost in the mainstream media?

Or, apply modus tollens and maybe the arguments for those positions could be better.

Yes, if you google "coronavirus iceland" you'll see they've tested almost their entire population. They found 1586 confirmed cases, of whom only 6 died, which gives a fatality rate of 0.4%. Turning this around, if we mu

How do you know they are not? And there is no contradiction. It is more a matter of not stopping learning. Learning is always happening naturally. People mostly need the opportunity.

This seems pretty hard, or at least tedious. Much bigger time investment than a normal 9-5. "He began to spend every waking minute in front of a television, watching infomercials and game shows, in hopes of identifying some kind of op

I'm arguing it's the same as this image compression technique. They rely on a huge neural network which must exist wherever the image is to be decompressed. If I'm allowed to bring along an unlimited amount of background dat

You are right these particular personalities are no longer well known. But, my question is whether deplatforming in general leads to more or less trust in the platforms, whether mainstream media or new social sites?

by yters 7y ago
A lot of that is their personal responsibility. They learn in the school of life, just like we can naturally inoculate ourselves by living out in the real world.

It works well if it's the only image!

Do you think this sort of censorships helps diminish or build the anti perspectives?
869.
by yters 7y ago
Step 1 is to stop all this platform censorship, especially of clearly crackpot theories. Only censor people who are clearly proposing people harm others. Such as Spike Lee posting a couple's address on Twitter during the Zimmerman tri

Is that true?
