The world's response was late because the Chinese government lied about the virus. Just two months ago the WHO, relying on China's statements, said:

> Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, #China[1]

Two months ago the WHO said they didn't have clear evidence coronavirus was contagious. Now we're on a "war footing". That's not wasting time.

> Though it does not excuse many of China's initial actions...

This qualifier, "initial", makes me think you are arguing that their subsequent actions are excusable. I'd argue they aren't excusable, even from a completely amoral utilitarian perspective - because nothing they've done even looks rational. Accusing the other party in trade negotiations of releasing a biological weapon, coincidentally right next to your own infectious disease facility, isn't going to improve negotiation prospects - no rational person would think that it could. Threatening to interrupt medical supply chains during a pandemic... I can't think of a better battlecry for those who'd advocate pulling all operations out of China. Forcing workers to return to the factories and claiming that you are back at 85% capacity, when everyone has access to near real time satellite imagery proving that your coal plants aren't running, isn't going to strengthen your negotiation position.

> one axiom is the existence of existence, which cannot be denied, because any question, doubt, skepticism, reason, point, or imagined counterargument is something that exists and is within existence

You argue that the denial of the axiom of "existence of existence" is self-refuting. But don't all arguments that something is self-refuting depend on the acceptance of the law of non-contradiction ("for all A, not (A and not-A)"?) If your argument for the axiom of "existence of existence" depends on the axiom of non-contradiction, is the axiom of "existence of existence" truly axiomatic any more?

What about the axiom of non-contradiction? Do we have to believe that? Well, dialetheism [1] denies that the axiom of non-contradiction holds (in the most general case), and yet the whole system doesn't fall apart. The secret is to allow contradictions, but limit their consequences, by rejecting the classical principle of ex contradictione quodlibet (ECQ, from a contradiction anything follows, aka the principle of explosion). An unlimited allowance for self-contradiction destroys all possibility of non-trivial reasoning, whereas a more limited allowance for self-contradiction leaves open the possibility of non-trivial thought. So, if we have a choice whether to accept the axiom of non-contradiction, maybe your attempt to escape Münchhausen's trilemma has not succeeded.

I think the big problem is medical technicians and doctors. My feeling is that we should be focusing on training up medical people on a massive scale, as that's something that the USA is notoriously bad at. Perhaps the military could provide medical technicians the fastest? lots of healthy young people who are trained in the use of serious PPE? (I wonder how the procedures differ between nuclear, chemical and biological threats like these?)

People talk about beds... but the problem isn't physical beds. I could make you a physical bed. the problem is doctor and medical technician labor to make the bed useful.

It seems literally to be designed to expel the air within the mask and replace it with external air. Which is the opposite of what most masks aim to achieve (contain droplets within the mask to prevent them from reaching others), and would seem to increase the risk to people nearby.
The first is what inflation is. The second is what we call a retraction or recession, and we have plenty of those where the "price of money" (buying power and cost to borrow) does not change. The third thing (which you did not mention) is "stagflation", which is basically "moving less stuff for more money".

Being constrained on the supply side would indeed cause prices to rise, but this is not inflation. Inflation is where the entire supply/demand curve is shifted (because money itself is worth more or less.)

As an example -- in inflation, both your gold necklace and your toilette paper would go up in price. In supply constraint, only your tp would go up in price. The value of a dollar hasn't changed (as evidenced by the price to sell your necklace.)

as best as possible with the resources one might have at home.

Previous comment by me along those lines:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22595343

I skimmed the home care thing posted by someone else. It said to use paper towels instead of towels to dry your hands.

I almost never use towels to dry my hands. If you use paper towels, flush them down the toilet. (Assuming it won't be a plumbing problem. I can't do this currently because I live in a hundred year old building and my lease forbids it because the plumbing can't handle it.)

But you can also just let your hands air dry. You don't have to dry them at all.

From what I gather, they resort to ventilators with Coronavirus not due to paralysis of the lungs but due to inflammation and pneumonia (aka fluid in the lungs).

Here are some ventilator substitutes in such cases:

If you have fluid in your lungs and can't adequately clear it doing lung clearance in the shower, sleep propped up. A recliner is one option or prop yourself up on pillows against the headboard.

If you are having breathing issues, absolutely do not lay flat on your back. It can cause half your lung surface to be blocked by fluid and this is a good way to basically drown. Instead, lay on your side or prop yourself up. It will reduce the amount of lung surface blocked by fluid.

Ideally, have some caffeine, fluids and salt to help open up the airways and support mucus production and then go do lung clearance before trying to sleep. Then lay down on your side or prop yourself up somehow.

(Yes, I'm aware: Ideally, you should be hospitalized at that point. I didn't want my child hospitalized when he was an infant and had pneumonia, so I laid him on my chest and slept sitting up for three nights after he started antibiotics so he could breathe. I've got an incurable lung condition. I routinely deal with fluid in my lungs without seeing a doctor. It can be done.)

Obviously, ideally, see a doctor and all that. I'm only leaving this comment because the medical system is overwhelmed and that's not always going to be an option. There are going to be people in this crisis who can get info off the internet or have basically nothing because there aren't enough doctors, ventilators, etc to go around.
Why does everyone want to reduce the fever with pills?

The immune system works best when there is a fever and if you suppress it you are just trading long term complications for short term relief. In the Covid-19 case it would IMO be much better to drink lots of fluids and just let the fever run its course.

Leadership in the US Government wasted a lot of time trying to play down the pandemic [1] as did large (conservative) news organizations [2]. Both are now trying to blame China, arguably to shift blame from themselves.

It didn't need to be that way; South Korea's government action back in January helped them while the US Government's action hindered response [3].

I disagree with Mark, as I think it’s important to let people make bad decisions.

However, and this is important, I believe that we should let those companies fail (i.e bankruptcy), and let their creditors manage them through an expedited process, whereby the government can choose to be a party.

I’ve found that creditors are much more ruthless than governments quite frequently.

Further, I look at a company like Boeing, and think that bankruptcy might break up the company (which looks like a good thing, as their engineering issues appear to be systemic).

I can’t see the government bailing Boeing out and then breaking it up. Which would mean they may never buy back shares, but still have a broken engineering process.

> These would normally be corrected with as much as one sentence, and by my intuition I would expect no more than 100,000 additional words would be necessary to fully specify these edge cases. It doesn't meaningfully move the dial on any of these numbers.

I expect it would take much more than that to specify exactly what bash, dash and a lot of other shells should do in a cross-platform manner, consolidate the language to one, and allow backwards compatibility (just like where the web APIs are based on the consolidation efforts of IE, Netscape, and a bunch of other browsers in the 90s)

> On Chrome and Firefox, maybe. How about IE or Safari? How about Netsurf or Lynx or w3m? SourceHut (of which I am the founder and lead developer) works in all of those browsers, by the way.

Chrome, Firefox, and Safari are pretty easy to target all at once, as they have the usual modern features.

Considering Lynx, Netsurf, or w3m as modern web browsers invalidate your points, since I'm pretty sure they don't implement a lot of the standards, does w3m implement flex box/CSS grid for example?

I can't say this in confidence, but I think it won't be that hard to (not that it's easy) implement a web browser with a complexity of w3m.

> Believe it or not, it was in how they interpreted margins. This was the fix:

Hmm, my intuition feels like that's a SCSS-compiling problem where they mixed up the rules... but if they weren't, that would definitely be at least one browser bug.
A one-time order isn't what that company is looking for. They're only responding to hospitals that sign onto a five-year contract, for example. Likely the only way to get to the front of the line with him now is to have an authorized 10-year contract signed by the board of directors with a capped total, with an attached note, "fill in your price, up to this amount", handed over face-to-face by the customer's CEO stepping into the factory.

Even that isn't really sufficient. Looking at the capex depreciation table [1], he'll only depreciate the new machinery in five years, and likely still be paying a note on it. Commercial industrial/flex space leases in the DFW area where he's near are typically around 3-5 years. After all is said and done, he's likely roughly breaking even, and not netting a giant personal profit at the other end.

He needs the Federal and state governments committing to evergreen disaster preparedness on a decades-long timescale. That takes much more than stockpiling.

I’m not qualified to properly challenge any of this, but it looks like all of these models use one estimate of the IFR (“mortality rate”). This paper is the basis for their 0.9% number: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.09.20033357v...

If that estimate is wrong, all of the numbers in the models would be wrong too. Strange that they tried a range of numbers for infectiousness but only one basically educated guess for IFR.

Your starting point is taken up by Descartes in his Meditations on First Philosophy.

The more modern expansion of these ideas can be found in Phenomenology by people like Husserl or Heidegger.

There are a lot of contemporary philosophers dealing directly with philosophy of mind and consciousness which is more of an offshoot of these questions once you sideline questions of grounding.

And there is also more contemporary philosophy of science/math that deals directly with questions of consistency and the grounding of logical or rationalistic methods.

Basically there are a lot of resources if you are interested in this stuff, and I would heavily recommend reading and understanding what others have thought about before trying to re-invent the wheel as your starting point. That takes too long and there's a long way to go.
