Would be even greater if there wouldn't have been patient 31. This tells just how much things are prone to the butterfly effect: Actually now 8799 cas...
This is true, but there is also the crucial moment measured in days just when the pandemic got rolling on. When it started in Italy, Europe or the Wes...
And that is a great looking logarithmic scale growth to extrapolate from. But notice that the information itself has an effect here. When you get grea...
Perhaps politicians know what they will do and can understand the consequences. And that isn't public information. That's the point. This actually isn...
Art of Bullshit, baby. Bullshit. Just like the Wall paid by Mexico, the deal with North Korea AND NEARLY EVERYTHING ELSE... Of course, nothing of thos...
Do you take into account the effect of "social distancing" and the lock downs? You see for a logarithmic scale to continue, you would need to have peo...
That's sad to hear, especially that fathers don't participate. And it's true what you say about the effects of an economic depression on people. I rem...
Like just where in Europe there isn't a lockdown in one form or another? Sweden and the UK? Lockdown is starting to be curfew. Bavaria has already imp...
Fake fake news from NOS4A2! You're wrong, actually. The utter inability of Trump to get anything done is the reason why, thanks to the Congress, the b...
Well, this is the perfect time when people can see that. And as I said, it's this obligatory introduction to home schooling. That needs a lot of effor...
What we'll learn is finally is to work from home and have net conferences. Talk about a truly collective learning experience. Just think how many elem...
Again a great day as nuclear war between the US and Russia or between other countries hasn't happened!!! Hooray for Mutual Assured Destruction, which ...
The simple fact is that now in the 21st Century we simply don't tolerate vast amounts of people to die in epidemics. We take preventive steps even if ...
Well, social distancing is the trendy cordial thing to do. For us Finns this is very easy to do. Our way to greet has only been a handshake before and...
I'm not suggesting anything here and likely diseases won't go away. What I'm just saying that precautions can have some effect on our manners, which I...
In the Nordic countries Sweden looks to have opted for a somewhat different approach than Norway, Denmark and Finland. It has kept it's schools and bo...
Nah. In truth it's called simply cabin fever: "Cabin fever refers to the distressing claustrophobic irritability or restlessness experienced when a pe...
You have to understand what the basic objective is (actually everywhere): With social distancing and quarantine measures the objective is to have a lo...
I think this is in many countries the policy. The objective is to curb the epidemic not hitting everybody at the same time, but that it will be more o...
That the Global economy goes into a sudden recession. Trump has already hinted that now the US economy is going to recession. Here the are making fore...
Now Trump sounds more serious, but sorry to say, but this still sounds and are guidelines that Trump's people hope people to follow. It's natural that...
I'd suspect this is just a thing of statistical variance. As all known infections here have or can be traced to abroad, it's likely that the vast majo...
It's been estimated that infections are about 20-30 times more. No one has any idea what it is now. Actually there is only one elderly corona-virus pa...
Now my country is going to a lock down until 13th of April. Schools closed, every over 70-year old person will be quarantined. Meetings of over 10 per...
So Biden's planning to get a woman. Thanks to the corona-virus, Joe likely will refrain himself from awkward attempts at smooching with the poor femal...
In my view there are three simple reasons why this won't be so huge: a) People aren't going to tested en masse for the corona virus. Hence the vast ma...
Actually, I think they will be disappointed. They assume the Hollywood scenario. It's not going to happen. Think about it. In our lifetime we've alrea...
That was already seen when one of the nightmare-disaster scenarios happened with hurricane Katrina with the levies being breached. It can be totally t...
The pandemic likely will take more time than people will think. It may take a year. But I don't think people will revolt, they will more likely adapt ...
You do know you are an American. Would North American be better? Ownership and having influence over decisions are two different things. Just as there...
If no action would be taken to fight the disease, there would have already been a lot of pandemics in our lifetime causing similar havoc as the black ...
I took as example equivalent pandemics. When they find out that heart disease is caused by an infection, that will be the day. Exactly. Yet any diseas...
That we eat more and exercise less isn't a government program. That Coca-cola or the tobacco industry try fighting regulations with their own "facts" ...
What would you call a disaster? The only truly deadly pandemic has been HIV/AIDS with 32 million people dead. Let's just look at deaths from prior pan...
You have to show this until I believe it. Usual guides talk about a 20%-25% of meat and fish. Here is an Australian example: https://images.theconvers...
Except now the awareness and the precautions of the virus are totally on a different planet than a month ago. This should be taken into account. With ...
Compared to 1980's or 1990's I agree. This regulation happened because of a) 9/11 and b) social media, the woke nonsense & me too etc. Next regulation...
Especially when there's some news that the lock down is working to curb the growth rate of infections. I guess the "lock down" option will be very tre...
Umm... you think those are caused by our rulers or governments? Most what you listed there are obviously societal norms, not exactly laws or regulatio...
You are simply underrating the true advances in human society just to make a point how things still suck. This is quite typical when really don't thin...
