Nope, the Stanford study had a much lower prediction of the infections to deaths ratio, but that's because its analysis of the data was just wrong.
25% prevalence is absolutely not in line with what experts were saying on March 23rd. Nor was an IFR of 0.5%.

The CDC reports that flu has an IFR of ~.13% in the US (61,000 deaths out of 45 million cases). That makes 0.5% roughly 3.3 times worse, not 10.

Also, herd immunity does not require 100% having positive antibodies, it will show an effect on Ro starting around 65%.

This is different that Costco selling their own brand vodka or toilet paper because buyers can see those items side by side when shopping. Amazon has their products on the top every time and if 3rd party sellers want to be next to them, they have to pay for ads. Amazon doesn't pay for its own ads so they can effectively hide their competition.

Don't treat adults like chlidren or, pretty soon, you will have a world full of only children with no adult supervision!

Yes, being an adult means having the freedom to drink alcohol and drive a car instead of waiting for a bus or a parent to come pick me up.

It also means having the responsibilities of making my own decisions instead of waiting for someone else to do it for me.

What's the expectation - that if the decision making authority makes a wrong decision that kills me, I can then blame them and collect damages?

That's crazy talk - for one, I will be dead already!
Then it’s not a tip at all.

It depends on your definition of "wrong".
You can mess up your domain logic with any language, but the chances of messing up perf (and even some ref vs. copy semantics that effect logic) in C++ are vastly greater than in GC'd langs.
I've ported C++ code to C# with much perf gain, due to c'tors of every kind getting called all over the place. Doing it right in C++ is too much cognitive overload -- at least for me. If you're writing inner game loops or device drivers, I feel I need to pay for this complexity - for any LOB apps, I can't see choosing C++, or even Rust for that matter.
> provided they also lobby to criminalize the very tactics they're currently using.

For it to be ethical it must be highly targeted and explicit. When it's not, in the real world it more often turns out to be a case of "lip service" or hedging. (Both of which are pretty close to hypocrisy ethically speaking.)

Just for an example-- Richard Stallman targeted his use of a proprietary compiler specifically to compile a free software compiler.

Another one was Lawrence Lessig starting a Super Pac to run for president with the singular goal of replacing dark money with publicly funded campaigns.

Always could tell how much of his worldview he put into his characters but, somehow, it never bothered me like it often does with other authors. Perhaps it's thanks to his unusual views on life.
I think the best way to solve it is simply not show shoppers the tip ahead of time so that it isn't a factor in choosing the job. That way people can't game the system.

Alternatively, they could give the buyer the option of "locking" the tip so it can't be changed, or of keeping it variable, or a % of it variable so that shoppers can make an informed judgment about the likelihood of getting a certain tip level.
What a weird, paranoid idea. Typically people come to my door for legitimately useful or appropriate purposes.

I think the reticence to promote masks is that there's not enough of them. It's getting better, but if a month ago they had said "everyone has to wear a mask" it would have been a panic as people can't get hold of them, plus it would have been harder to get some for essential workers.

If there had been massive stockpiles available, the message would have likely been different.

No, it's a very real dichotomy. People won't literally starve in the US, but waiting in a bread line for hours is very different than feeding your family through your own money and effort.
Of course the WHO recognizes Thailand as a sovereign nation. Next question?
I'm sorry but 0.1%-0.2% directly contradicts 0.6%-0.9% (or higher because that doesn't account for the lag between infection and death). That's a 3 to 9 times higher death rate.
> If you're destitute, there is a government plan that provides healthcare. For everyone else, it's a forced savings plan that everyone has to contribute to.

So either totally government provided for the destitute, and a "forced savings plan" for most people, which is basically a tax/mandate.

> You can then make a choice as a consumer to either take the basic insurance
> or get your own private room that the gov't covers 50% of and you're responsible for the rest

So the Singapore government is involved in subsidizing nearly all insurance choices all the way up to the high end, presumably funded by taxes. They also heavily regulate healthcare costs to keep them low instead of leaving it to the "free" market.

Sure doesn't sound like what proposals like voluntary HSAs and their ilk propose in the US. The proponents of those stridently oppose any government regulation of healthcare costs or measures to ensure universal coverage.

Instead, in the US, we consumers have plenty of skin in and the game, huge uncertainty and disproprortionate leverage put in the hands of our employers and health insurance companies, lack of universal coverage, and worse average outcomes.

Nope. The US just changed it’s official position to recognition of Taiwan as an independent entity, as part of the TAIPEI Act in response to all this.
I think the unpopular opinion here is "I don't find value, thus there is no value." When, in reality, many people do find a value. Somewhere.

Heck, I post maybe once a year on Facebook. It's how my in-laws communicate, so that's where I have to go if I want to interact with that part of my social graph. It has a value (however small), even if I wished it didn't.
So droplet size is very important for spreading then, implies wearing a mask will be quite effective at preventing you from contaminating other people...
In order for tipping to go away, the employer needs to provide a higher level of compensation equal to the average $tips typically earned. But companies like tipping because it offloads some of the salary burden as an additional line-item expense to the buyer.

But that's besides the point. I don't look at WHO for geopolitical opinion. I look at it for health advice. And there's where it failed.
Hi,
Yes we are aware and have reached out to them. There are a few more studies out there. One from Stanford and one from Germany too. We're currently working to refine the software and also improve the presentation (there are some mistakes) and write a paper.
As someone who is getting their MD next year, I'd have to agree with jac241. It took me a weekend to understand and setup a kubernetes cluster yet it's taken me three years to even know the bare basics of medicine. Maybe it's a situation of you don't know what you don't know. Sure, you can Google symptoms but have you seen thousands of patients to know if you're right? On the tech side, I know how to setup a kubernetes cluster but do I know what to do when things go wrong? Most likely not.
> I imagine some people would be overjoyed to remove the 1st amendment in order to lower disease spread

Well, if you read the whole thing, the 1st amendment includes the freedom to peaceably assemble, so at least to that extent it has already been removed and to cheering crowds no less.
There's a lot that go wrong with this approach, and the upside is pretty obviously dwarfed by the (small to minuscule, depending on many many factors) chance of getting murdered while puffing about your rights. Whose front door has a gap underneath it, anyway?

Assuming they knock and announce they have a warrant as opposed to knocking the door down, you open the door and they start coming in immediately. You can read the warrant, they'll likely shove it in your face. You should be on the phone to an attorney or the local bar association before the last officer in past the threshold, anyway.

I'm pretty shocked an attorney would suggest doing something that can very likely be construed as stalling for time when tensions are likely pretty high.

It arguably has a more specific definition, like "you only interact with it on a per-invocation level" or maybe "you don't manage the servers or the runtime environment". With other systems that are not considered Serverless (like Heroku or Kubernetes) it can also be true that you don't manage the servers.

> we cannot gamble with our future so carelessly on the basis of preliminary data. here is a vignette to explain why.

Yes we can, and will. We’re gambling with every choice we make about how to respond to this, and anyone claiming that their plan is 100% “based on science” is full of shit. For example, every country enforcing a lockdown is gambling that it won’t lead to civil war.
Right. Really this study is just confirming (with higher error bars than we'd like) what we already strongly suspected.

Note that as others are pointing out, that 0.5% isn't really extrapolated correctly. The tested case deaths are looking like they're only 70% of the total or so. Also using a current death count with contemporary infection counts is a mismatch, because it forgets that ~35% of the people currently in the hospital won't ever leave, which is about 5k more deaths.

So a better calibrated CFR might be 1% or so, which is even closer to the range we've all been assuming.
So if 100% of the USA gets it at 330 M people that amounts to:

1,650,000 deaths.

It is unlikely 100% will catch it from a single wave however.
The comments in this thread are embarrassing. Youtube has every right to take responsibility for the content on their platform. Good for them for exercising it.
Why is it implausible? The resulting fatality rate seems close to other scientific results I've seen.
Sure all of these studies are potentially flawed but they're all generally pointing in the same direction. There are many more infections than we know about and the CFR is not anywhere close to the actual IFR.

NYC is an outlier with a 21% infection estimate but for the rest of NY (outside NYC metro/Westchester/LI) the estimate is 3.6%. Santa Clara estimate was 3%. LA County estimate was 4%. Seems like a trend is developing.
Are there 250k people that are willing to work a job like this right now? Sure, there's lots of unemployed, but for at least the next few months they're getting ~60% of their base salary (up to some cap) + an additional $600/week.
> It was "liars, cranks and con artists do exist, and we need to empower people to decide which is which by letting them practise."

This is such a silly argument. If I tell you two pieces of information: "Vaccines cause autism" and "Vaccines do not cause autism", how do you practice believing? By putting children at risk of preventable diseases?

Same goes for hydroxychloroquine or turmeric for covid-19. We have (at this point) decent scientific evidence for these not helping prevent the disease, and yet people will take them and either hurt themselves (chloroquine) or be willing to engage in more risky behavior otherwise.

The easiest way I have of putting this is that there is no difference between having no information, and having all possible information. If I present you with all possible strings of length < 100 containing "covid-19", you'll have lots of reasonable sounding statements about preventing the spread of covid-19. But without authoritative and reliable sources for why some of those strings are valuable to obey and others aren't, you're in no better place than if you had no information at all.
It is very positive in that we can be more confident that our assumptions are close to reality. 0.5%*330M still equals 1.65M deaths, or (very roughly) 5M ICU beds. Spread out over 52 weeks, that's a lot of ventilators and ICU beds and PPE, but it is a target. A very big juicy target that we can and should aim directly at, and HIT.

> 5. They raise prices and/or lower quality.

> 6. Consumers pay more for a shittier product.

Or a competing product emerges with a lower price and/or better quality. Step 6 would only happen if competing products are not allowed to be sold on Amazon. And even if Amazon does that, I would assume that if the delta in price and quality is big enough people would switch to buying the product on Shopify, eBay, or any other platform the manufacturer can use to sell.
Except that they'll quickly recoup that "subsidy" by raising prices after they've dumped their competition.
It's actually from a settlement that resulted in him getting several years of backpay at once.
I think the attackers had Mitch’s bank card and PIN and was making those fraudulent charges to see if Mitch would notice. If he did, the attackers would have been shut out then and there.

Mitch didn’t notice, so the attackers called Mitch pretending to be the bank. They didn’t ask him for any details so no red flags were raised, they just said “we noticed fraudulent charges and rest assured we are fixing it.”

Next day, attackers call the bank and Mitch at the same time. They needed the code the bank would send to the # on the account, so the attacker requested it from the bank, the bank sent it to Mitch, Mitch read it to the attacker, and the attacker repeated it to the bank.

At some point, Mitch got suspicious and called the bank to ask if they were on another call with him. The bank was on a call with the attacker pretending to be Mitch, so they said yes. Mitch thought the other Mitch was himself.

Then they are publishers and not platforms. So they are liable for all content on their website.
> But even if we pretend we could implement a perfect bubble for everyone over 50, they're not especially safe when the lockdown is lifted for them. The virus will still exist, and people over 50 tend to spend time with people over 50 (see: homophily).

The point of the lock down is to prevent the spread of the virus from happening too fast and overwhelming the healthcare system. It is not to prevent people from ever getting it as that's clearly not possible. You seem to be missing that point in your argument.

Interesting. That's what I've been doing with SiteTruth for a decade. Unlike Google, I can't make advertisers give me documents, so I have to dig into public records.

I look forward to seeing what info Google provides to users. The demo is useless. Name and "Location: United States" isn't much. I doubt Google will really provide much info about their advertisers; they're paying customers. Search users are the product.

I'd want to see the actual name and address of the business (as required in CA and the EU), business license info (required in the UK), incorporation state and serial number (required for an EV certificate), and have an option to buy a business credit report from D&B. At various times I've put all of those on SiteTruth.com.

It's become harder to get the data needed. A decade ago, an online-only business with no clear ownership or street address was almost always a scam. Now, it's not uncommon, although the scam percentage is still high. Businesses are also allowed more anonymity now, this being considered "privacy". There are "low-doc" states, such as Nevada. Owners of postal mail boxes used to be public record; now they're anonymous. D&B used to encourage companies to publicize DUNS numbers; now they consider that proprietary. It's a great time to be an online scammer.
Should intellectually curious people be afraid of arguments about, well, anything? It is in the confrontation between dissimilar thoughts that understanding can arise after all, those who just preach to the choir end up neither enlightening nor enlightened. If the argument turned into a pie-throwing contest it would make sense to curtail it. Before that time, not so much.

The #1 job of policy analysts is to preserve their ability to make policy.
