To be clear, the pain here was hunting down the root cause and fixing it when it shouldn't have broken in the first place, not the speed of discovering the problem after the code had already broken.
What is the relevance of people having immunity to the flu or taking flu vaccines?

Of course there isn't any. Sure, it would matter if this were a buzzfeed listicle about "most dangerous viruses of all time". The flu might be higher in that list. But the actual question is "given this virus, which we don't have acquired immunity to, and don't have a vaccine for, how many people will it kill, and what are reasonable steps to lower that number"?

I used to work on survey designs in my old job. I am having a hard time coming up with a way that they could possibly control for selection bias. We are in the middle of a pandemic, the people willing to risk leaving their homes to get tested is going to be highly skewed towards individuals that believe they have already had the infection. It's possible that they asked the participants about this, and adjusted their weights accordingly, but considering that this study shares authors with the Santa Clara study, and that study did not control for selection bias, I have my doubts.

They're not peaceful. They have members sharing the coronavirus within the groups. Additionally, they are putting enforcement agents at risk in dealing with it.

People don't just drop dead upon becoming unemployed. It's just a higher per year mortality rate. Also, economic destruction is not necessarily temporary.

I'm really shocked at the difference in the way the lockdowns are perceived by some people. I mean, just read the text of your local order. Here's the one for California, for example: https://covid19.ca.gov/stay-home-except-for-essential-needs/

I agree that "presidential behavior" is a subjective term. Doesn't make it useless - just subjective.

That's an impossible claim to backup. A traditional unemployment rate may result in a 2.5x increase in mortality rate, but this isn't a normal period of unemployment -- congress just injected an unimaginably large amount of money into the economy with the deliberate goal of keeping the unemployed afloat until things can re-open.

You can't really look at a past study of unemployment effects and expect it to be anything like what we're about to experience; we literally have no idea.
Hmm, I wonder if they attempt to control for bias. It sounds as though they were asking random passersby if they wanted a COVID-19 antibody test. If so, it seems that the sample group could be biased toward including more people who suspected that they may have been infected (previously or currently) than a truly random sample.
They had plans to make a purchase to fill the reserve last month before the price went negative today, and they only had about 10 percent of the reserve free at that time:

There can be a wider sense to being destructive. Example mindset: if we as a society have too much inertia to steer away from tragedy, it's better to hasten its arrival, rather than slow it, because the later it comes, the more destructive it will be. Constructive destruction. In that vein, populism is good, identity politics is good, culture of greed is good, growing inequality is good, etc.

I don't share that viewpoint, but, I do think that many of these destructive trends are an unconscious civilization-level self-regulation, which has the purpose of dropping inertia by gradually destroying self.
Fine, they can do it in the public square, just like they always have, subject to health department regulations.

Facebook is not a public entity; they are a private company and the Constitution does not constrain it. You can argue that Facebook is depriving you of your Constitutional rights until you're blue in the face, but it'll probably get you nowhere in court.

I think a lot of the arrogance that develops in some smart kids is a result of being shunned for being right. Kids often start out trying to help others by pointing out how something could be better, get socially (sometimes physically) beaten up for it, then develop into condescending assholes as a defense mechanism.

You need to give better advice than this to people when they're five, when they actually need it.

I learned early on that being right was no defense, and that no matter what happened I would always be blamed. These were the wrong lessons, but society at large was the wrong teacher, so I guess we're even.

This doesn't stop when we stop being kids. In the so-called "adult" world, people make some of the stupidest decisions imaginable on a daily basis, and refuse to acknowledge any errors in their choices no matter how they're brought up. Helping other people turns out to be an exercise not only in futility, but in masochism as well.

I've been called "justifiably arrogant" in the past. I've been condescending. I've come out the other side, and now basically think of myself as kind of mediocre. I used to look around at how people make much worse decisions than me about the important stuff and feel a little comforted by the idea that at least I'm doing better than them. Now, it just makes me sad, because I realize I kinda suck, but 98% of people make me look good by comparison.

I've learned to "go along to get along" to some extent, with people who don't matter to me. The people who do matter to me are the people with whom I can be honest, because honesty is a great way to get yourself in a lot of social trouble otherwise.

Mostly, what it comes down to, is that basically everybody sucks, smart or not, and everybody wants to believe "My shit doesn't stink." There's a grave injustice afoot when someone actually has a good idea, by way of applying some native intelligence and learned rationality to a problem, and gets punished for it, though -- and native intelligence helps people realize they're getting burned at the stake over someone else's superstitions, thus making "smart kids" bitter, dismissive, and lonely.

I'm generalizing a lot. Exceptions abound.
I reject your characterization of my post. I deny even more your characterization of my intent. You are utterly mistaken, and I would suggest that you refrain from further attempts to ascribe motives to those with whom you disagree.

On to the your point. Yes, there are organizations and programs that explicitly try to help non-white children. And why? Because those children have disproportionately more poverty and worse outcomes than white children. So, you know, if you're going to try to fix things, maybe starting where the problems are is a reasonable idea.

If one of those organizations was explicitly trying to have "other" children have better outcomes than white children, that would be a problem. But trying to get to equal seems perfectly reasonable.

Now, if you want to argue that white parents don't hear that as the intent, I would agree that at least some probably don't. But your position seems to be something beyond merely "some of them hear it that way". I've no desire to put words in your mouth, but I suspect that anything further I will not agree with.
Let's not lose sight of the reason why lockdowns were advised in the first place.

Absent the data from widespread testing, the spread of the disease was consistent with two epidemiological models -- low-contagion/high-mortality and high-contagion/low-mortality. In the latter model, there's not much to be done to stop the disease from infecting the population at large, and not that much that needs to be done, since the vast majority of people will emerge unscathed. But in the former model, it matters tremendously -- doing nothing will slowly but surely result in vast loss of life but quarantines can stop the disease dead in its tracks.

Therefore the most cautious course of action, from a public health perspective, was to assume the former and proceed with a regime of extreme social distancing. Unfortunately doing so had dire economic consequences.

I've been wondering this -- what is my likelihood of infection based on vector? If I go shopping and there are 5% people actively infected, how does that compare to living with someone?

I've been operating under the assumption that proximity without PPE but within a few hours of existing in the same space is a significant vector. If true, it seems like it'll be very difficult to find people who shopped at the same store within the same day.

You're correct that we have no idea, but it's likely to be worse. Some communities won't come back from this.

The economy cannot be paused without massive stimulus to keep it afloat (and no, the current stimulus isn't keeping it afloat). Some companies are entering bankruptcy as we speak. They aren't coming back.
Interesting. Is there anything here to deal with the three states[1] of "bytes" and "barray" vs "strings"? That was the hardest part, for me, to release an extension that was 2vs3 agnostic. Personally, resorted to some ugly hacks with version detection, barray detection, etc to make a 2/3 compatible extension.

[1] The three states being 2.x prior to recognizing bytes, 2.x sorta recognizing, and 3.x hard recognizing.
The problem is that finding truth is so much more time consuming than lying. A couple friends and I looked at creating a Canadian fact-checking website as we don't really have a Politifact up north, especially not for the smaller provinces.

We gave up when we went on Twitter to see just how much nonsense was floating around and realizing that even basic lies took 30 minutes each to refute. Assuming that we had perfect access to people's information feeds and assuming they all believed us anyway (and many wouldn't), we would still need 6x as many people as popular trolls/liars existed to fight back.

You would basically need to have a legion of volunteers willing to spend 30 minutes undoing 5 minutes of damage.

You should be much more worried about bias than about sample size. See also this calculation, where it is discussed that a sample of 400 is more reliable than a slightly biased sample of a million participants:

The serological surveys are showing 50-100x infection rates of those tested. If tested healthy persons are dying at 0.5% that gets you to 0.01%-0.005% death rate in healthy persons. That number is lower than the all cause death rates of 25-34 year olds...

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db355-h.pdf
That's not entirely true. The flu has a vaccine (of varying efficacy -- 10-60% depending on the year). The flu also has a large body of immunity built up across the population from having had it. It's also less contagious.

If we assume that COVID is spreading like wildfire (it is), and that we're front-loading the cases (we probably are), and that immunity will be built up as one-off instead of like having the disease mutate substantially every year like the flu, over a few years, it could easily be better.

I'm not saying it is or isn't, just that there is a path.
The internet is a tool.

Embedded in every tool is an ideological bias.
Ex. To a person with a hammer everything is a nail. To a person with a pencil everything is a list. ...

The internet makes us differently think in a number of different ways.
1. I no longer need to remember things, or remember where or how to find things (remember encyclopedias and librarians)
2. I no longer have to rely on one source of stimulus (i can jump to the next video, finish this article later, )

There are more things but just from these two you are conditioned to not retain knowledge or understanding and react to the new shiny thing. I would say that to a person with internet everything is to immediately respond to.

What do you thing the end of the sentence should be
"To a person with internet everything is _____"
The general problem is much harder than that. You need to understand double negatives, when do they invert the meaning and when do they underline it? "Ain't nobody got time for that" can be interpreted in different ways. And then you need to understand sarcasm. Then a later sentence can invert the meaning of an earlier one. E.g. "This is the best movie ever. Said no one". Using word-pairs as features is easy, but there are just so many exceptions and ambiguity it's a very difficult problem to solve well.

Something that you might consider looking at when comparing countries or areas is the ratio of active cases to recovered. A higher ratio suggests that the epidemic is in an earlier stage.

Sweden has about 23 active cases for each one recovered. The US is about 10:1, Europe overall is about 2:1, so is Italy, and Spain is close to 1:1. Asia as a whole is about 1:1.

Typically a sufficiently infectious disease tops out around 50-80% (don't have a source, just what people, like Angela Merkel have been saying). So this implies NYC is already off the high end of that. Hard to believe.
Isn't that the virus test, not the anti-body test? Maybe a fairly low percentage have the virus but a high percentage have been exposed and have the anti-body.

The optimistic take on this is: that means soon enough will be exposed that their immunity will stop the spread.

The pessimistic take on this is: we also don't have strong evidence that the previously exposed are immune, ie, have a strong enough immune response to stop the virus.

I live a mile north of New Hampshire's southern border. We have no income tax, no sales tax, the median property tax is within $800 per year of the neighboring states, and the median income is only $3,000 per year less than Massachusetts (pretty sure after accounting for taxes, New Hampshire is higher). As far as death rates go, the life expectancy is 79.5 years, which is pretty close to the 80.5 in Massachusetts and 79.7 in Vermont. Contrary to popular belief, we've been practicing social distancing for many years, simply due to the our low population density (/kidding). It's a pretty great place to live.
