The full title is "Suicide in England since the COVID-19 pandemic -early figures from real-time surveillance", but that doesn't fit the 80 character limit.

This report is from NCISH (the National confidential inquiry into suicide and self harm) which is a national organisation with responsibility for research into suicide.

They issue 4 conclusions:

> (1) We have found no evidence of the large national rise in suicide post-lockdown that many feared;

> (2) There appears to have been no rise in suicide post-lockdown, at least in these areas. The higher figures in 2020 should be seen in the context of a rising national rate and maturing real-time surveillance systems;

> (3) There are several important caveats. These are early figures and could change over time or with the inclusion of more areas. We cannot rule out higher rates in some local areas or population sub-groups, especially as the effect of COVID-19 itself has varied between communities;

> (4) In particular, it is too soon to examine the full long-term impact of economic adversity on mental health and suicide
That's such an excessively tired, debunked, and often (but not always, and not necessarily in your case) bad-faith contrarian talking point that this far into the pandemic I can't be bothered to get worked up about it any more.

You are making up a hypothesis to make someone sound guilty with no evidence.

> I think it's useful that this was reported on, because it could make people more wary of shelling out money to a guy who was recklessly endangering others even if there were no nefarious motives.

This is a poor opinion. First, he has not been found guilty of "reckless endangement", and you are just assuming he's guilty. Do you also expect to see reporting every time someone recklessly endangers others by driving at high speeds through a school zone, or accidently runs through a stop sign?

Publishing accusations of someone (especially a very easily google-able person) being a terrorist is not something that should be done lightly without proof.

Hell, right now I'm pretty sure I have both bleach and ammonia in my apartment as regular cleaning supplies. When combined, these ingredients are dangerous, but that sure as shit doesn't mean I'm endangering others just by possessing them.
I believe 300M of them are accounted for by the EU vaccine purchase program. That said, it looks like those doses will be made in Europe; Pfizer seems set up to make it this in multiple facilities, which is a good sign.

For anyone questioning the safety of deadlifting based on this post, I encourage you to continue deadlifting - it's a great exercise that contributes to overall health and fitness, but first I want to expand on the above implicit disclaimer in the parent:

>Ex-professional weightlifter of about 10 years here

This implies a number of things:

1. First and foremost, it implies the use of much higher weights and workloads than what a typical non-professional stronglifts or starting strength type lifter might be using. This is related to the next two factors: potential use of performance-enhancing drugs, and potential obesity. Without these two factors, you'd plateau at lower and safer weight, close to your natural limit.

2. It implies the potential use of performance-enhancing drugs. Performance-enhancer use is incredibly pervasive in today's professional athletic world. Their use will push you beyond your limits; the limits of strength, and the limits of what's safe and healthy.

3. It implies potential obesity: competitive lifting requires massive amounts of food in order to fully recover and continue lifting as much as possible. Teamed with performance enhancers, one might achieve a strength level, body weight, and muscle mass far higher than one's bones and ligaments evolved to handle.

So if you're using good form, not eating inordinate amounts of food, and not using performance-enhancers, you can safely and healthily deadlift. You will move less weight than the professional, but it will be weight that your body is more naturally capable of handling.
Developing countries have youth immunity. When you convolve covid hospitalization / IFR as function of age with age distribution, developing countries have no risk whatsoever from COVID. that's why Brazil and India are nearing herd immunity with basically no serious medical infrastructure saturation. Median age in Africa is 19... No fks given. Covid vaccine is just for old people/developing countries.
Contract tracing hasn't worked at scale anywhere. It's a nice idea conceptually, but the problem is psychological. People stop caring about tracing when 98% of all trace connections are false positives. If a person is infectious for a week and the r0 is around 1 then only 1 person of all the people they've been in contact with will actually contract the virus on average. The other 50+ people, assuming they can even be traced, get a false positive. Or to put it differently, people have to be called 50 times and get tested and self-isolate 50 times before they actually test positive. And for younger people 80% of cases are completely inconsequential. You might think 50 contacts is unrealistically high, but most people still go to work, to school, see friends, use public transportation, etc.

Covid19 would also be over if people with symptoms would just stay home. But that's clearly not happening either. We've got to be realistic about how people behave in the real world.

Mutations aren't a serious concern. Because when viruses mutate it's the strains that are more infectious and less lethal that win out.
Maybe in some regions they don't think the quality of their data is good enough?

There are many possible explanations that can be reasonable depending on what you value the most.
Tomatoes strike me as something that more people should grow at home, where space permits. There seems to be a bigger delta in quality for tomatoes than most other produce when picked fresh, and they’re not the kind of vegetable that most of us go through a huge amount of[0]. Also, they don’t consume a huge amount of space; even a planter on the porch can produce a decent yearly crop.

0: Except for soups, but for that kind of application canned tomatoes are best, since they’re canned when fresh rather than being picked before ripening to survive shipping.
Quick Google seems to indicate it's true.

Hoho, I've got a fun one. My house is TOWN 632-3 but not 丁目 番 号 anything. There is a 6丁目32番3号 in our city which is _not_ my house. This lead one night to me driving across town to pick up a lost friend.

Our house was in a development soon post war which for ages was surrounded by nothing but rice paddies. We've had a couple online shops which assume we're missing portions of our address. Overall though I like havinng only two numbers. Makes me feel like I own a whole town block.
I vouched you up; I appreciate good discussion.

It's true that obesity is an affliction related to poverty; but it is related to poverty in nations of relative wealth and comfort. Access to that cheap and terrible food relies upon a logistics system that is heavily resistent to famine and blight.

Those in poverty who are dying from obesity related diseases are not dying in work place accidents, and are not dying in war or from untreatible infections. They didn't die in a pandemic.

The opportunity to die of obesity related diseases is tied to the relative safety and comfort of the nations in which the late individuals were impoverished.

You can buy dry ice at your local grocery store. You can probably buy a cooler to put it in. And you get a week to use it after thawing, so if there is a break in the supply chain you only need to detect it and announce a vaccination clinic to that area. There might be some small town that gets 100% vaccination early on just because the truck broke down nearby and so local doctors were suddenly called upon to vaccinate their whole town just to use doses that couldn't be shipped any farther.

Neither. It is made of two replication-deficient human adenoviruses, Ad5 and Ad26, IIRC, which carry part or the entire spike protein (I need to check, I don't remember).

One shot is with Ad5, the other with Ad26. This is done because Ad5 is a "known" adenovirus by most population, that means that a sizable fraction has antibodies against it.

90% protection... Let's see what this really means - because I'm pretty sure we already have something on order of 80+% protection without a vaccine. I'd like to see % protection vs age.
None of those have announced positive results on a phase 3, have they? In effect, the Russian one is also in phase 3; they kind of pretended it wasn't, but are doing a very limited rollout that is for all practical purposes just a phase 3 trial.

Also, this one was developed in Germany and the trial is being run in Germany and the US; people might be forgiven for trusting a combination of the EMA and FDA, who will need to approve this, somewhat more than Putin's one.

You don't get as much chance to die from obesity related diseases if you've died in a war, famine, pandemic, or from coal lung or crushed to death in a factory accident.

It afflicts the poor in relatively comfortable and safe nations.

Sure it sounds good, but aside from his big paradigm shifting invention those many years ago he has attempted to do some paradigm shifting things since then that have fallen short. So I think hesitation may be warranted.
This is incorrect. They tested SARS patients over 17 years later and they still exhibited an immune response. As long as SARS-CoV-2 doesn’t mutate dramatically the body probably has long term immunity.
The beauty of it is, you don't have to. The subtle truth is that, as a practical matter, you often have to care about "opinions" you don't respect or admire. Another's opinion is a fact, albeit a minor one, from your point of view. What's more, it's the legitimate output of a computation they performed based on a set of (weighted) inputs. The market is best seen as a machine that measures two things: which market is better (meta market), and within each market, which product is better, from the sole perspective of making money.

All things die, including businesses. Layoffs can be a good thing if the job is terrible, the business is a zombie. Can you imagine working at Sears? It's good to let bad businesses die because the alternative is worse. That said, humans like to get settled, comfortable, get a rhythm to life, and changing jobs (because of a business failure or whatever) is a HUGE stressor. And its uncertain if you don't know where you can "plug in" to the economy and get a job, so you're in a rush, and new employers rush you through onboarding and acquire all kinds of legal leverage over you, and so on.... And the American worker is not trained to examine their options from any perspective other than "Job Title" and "Salary". Even "Benefits" often get short shrift.

Anyway, long ramble short, you don't have to admire the minds that move money, but you should take them seriously. It's worth considering, though: what would it take to have your cake and eat it too? How would you make the "markets" more admirable, which in your case seems to mean "more moral"?
My last job, I was only hired because they had recently had 3+ people quit the same day. During the interview they were telling me how they have a large staff and only expect 60-80% billing because anymore leads to burnout and how they have 'work-home balance' meetings to ensure they are good.

Ya that should have been a red-flag. That stuff lasted at most a month until it ended and it went back to 'the beatings will continue until morale improves'

It was super common to work 60 hour weeks, but every hour of overtime you wanted to get paid for... you had to give detailed explanation to justify why you worked so that they could bill overtime/emergency rates to the client.

At my first year performance review I got scathing terrible review because our time/attendance system said I was late >40 times to work. I immediately asked which days I was late for... so my boss looks it up. Every single one of those lates was me logging in on a weekend after 9am because something was down and generally speaking the on-call person called me for help. So not necessarily that I worked 40 weekends, but saturday at 10am login and then next day at sunday at 11am would be 2 lates.

Did my performance review change for the better after realizing that not only was I being awesome and working afterhours and weekends to help my coworkers and the literal only complaint against me was having been late? Nope. Not even a little.

I'm not sure it can be used, since it is much colder than -80. I actually hope it can be, because there is quite a few liquid nitrogen facilities, usually near big medical facilities. Dry ice, quite rare. I've seen some for special effects, but declared at a higher temperature than -80.

I think you're on the mark talking about them as toys for adults. I don't think most people want them because they really fear for their safety without, though the ability to defend oneself may be a bonus. My feeling is mostly it's just a fun hobby and it's also a clear signal of group membership.

I think your claim about there being a higher chance of accidental injury vs. self defense is probably wrong. The issue is a little muddy, but there are only ~800 firearms accidental deaths per year (0.00024% of pop.) and about 50,000 self-defense uses per year (https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/fv9311.pdf)

I'm also not convinced about movies. I bet other places have very similar mixes of actual watching and the same selection given the internet.
Sure it is. Any small city (> 50,000 people) has someone who can get you liquid nitrogen in far larger quantities than will ever be needed (thus stuff is used for a lot of industrial processes). Put it in a cooler from wal-mart and you have a week.

Any you get a week after thawing it to use is anyway, so you don't need the cold storage where the end user is. I don't know what the thawing protocols are of course.
You want to have at least a nontrivial group of every race and ethnicity to ensure that you collect enough data to make sure it's also effective on everyone.

Additional challenges in the US are that many minority communities are distrustful of the pharmaceutical industry due to historical reasons and you typically need a concentrated effort to do outreach there to actually collect enough volunteers to meet your sampling concerns.

I see antitrust as a critical purpose of freedom-respecting software - suppose you pay the author for the rights to use the semis proprietary software. You go on a decade or two, and become critically reliant on it.

OpenOffice and MariaDB are classic examples of Free Software solving this - the IP holder sandbagged, so the community forked and fucked off. Even despite that though, LibreOffice still suffers from losing its OpenOffice name, and plenty of users lose out because they're unknowingly using a barely-updated version due to abovementioned sandbagging.

Proprietary software hands a default victory to the IP holder. Free Software hands a default victory to the user. It's either one or the other.

It can’t die out on its own. Animals are getting infected by it, meaning it will be around forever. But as long as we can tolerate it, that’s all that matters.
A friend of mine (who is a nutjob), said a few months ago that even if the vaccine doesn't work, they can say it would work 80-90%, because that's the amount of people who don't show symptoms anyway.

I think we can control it well with a vaccine and contact tracing. But though this is not my area, I've heard experts say that "eradication" is unlikely, in that we've still only actually eradicated one human viral disease.
But if covid-19 was well enough controlled that most of us wouldn't come across an infected person in normal life, or need to think about it for months or years at a time ... I think that's good enough for most of us to think of it as "gone".
