Some hard figures (update coming today too) about the underlying causes of death for ALL deaths this year in the UK up to April 3: https://www.ons.gov...
What about Vietnam? https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/southeast-asia/article/3079598/coronavirus-whats-behind-vietnams-containment-success?fbclid=IwAR2ir...
This is a tough post to answer because I’m unsure what you’re asking exactly. I can offer some information though. The all or nothing nature of firing...
I think I’ll post this again. Clearly some people missed it the first time around: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gxAaO2rsdIs Note: Pay attention to th...
It is not really surprising that there is a lack of face masks. The simple truth is the culture in western hospitals is not to wear masks. If any of y...
Getting rid of certain views of the world requires attention to what we rarely question. The process of looking at the most dull aspects of life (rout...
It’s hard to say what a matriarchal society would look like today. It’s hard for me to imagine a strong patriarchal society - I’m European and I’ve gr...
100%! There are things being done in a minimalistic fashion. It’s not all bad news. Some, repeat SOME, private companies have stepped up - yes, even t...
Of course. That doesn’t mean that the non-crude estimates have fallen as more testing has been done. To repeat, I am saying we’ve overestimated the ef...
My point was that the mortality rate has been overestimated. It isn’t as high as first expected. That is not to say that most nations were almost comp...
Here are some more brief reports about less developed nations: - This pretty much echos my voiced concerns: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H6iy9GVqs_c ...
Nope. I have stated, and now presented data to back up what I have heard, that the mortality estimates have been said for a long time to be difficult ...
My mistake. I should’ve been clearer in what I was referring to. Made a mistake! Thanks for pointing this out (see below where I went awry - data is e...
I’ll move past the sarcasm ... You’ll have to explain this further please. That isn’t the case, but I can see why you’d think that. I didn’t work back...
Again, my constant concern is precisely framing the situation as a money versus life choice. The simple fact is that economics is about the distributi...
Sorry, I should’ve been clearer. I was talking about ALL deaths. I know. That’s why I said ‘burden healthcare’. My point remains. It looks like the vi...
The mortality rate is falling as more research is done. It looks like this is x3-4 more deadly than the flu. The major concern is keeping the elderly ...
It doesn’t matter what I have in mind. The issue is that countries are interconnected economically. Once the bigger players lockdown the rest of the w...
Note: It isn’t unusual for deaths to vary by a few thousand a month - in December and January the difference can be as much as 10,000 from one year to...
A degree of uncertainty is not the same as saying there is no accuracy. That is what I was pointing out. I’m still waiting on the figures for deaths i...
Not actually true: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/annual-flu-reports That is a pretty comprehensive report. I’m still not convinced shutting...
No. They can act in a manner that would allow them the option to change their view on their own. No one, and I mean NO ONE, is willing to change their...
If you haven’t got the intelligence to figure out that calling Covid the ‘Chinese Virus’ is less than acceptable so be it. I assumed you just slipped ...
I just looked back to page 75 and see nothing (other than the crass ‘China virus’ comment) that warrants this vitriolic attack. I did see Baden being ...
Yeah, ‘China virus’ doesn’t really help the discussion. Especially when discussing with some of the folks in this forum. I’ve no idea why you’re being...
The harder the lesson the better the chance of using these mistakes to stop worse things from happening. You can guarantee governments are mostly gues...
50,000 a year die like that in the US; the ‘most advanced’ country in the world. Admittedly, that figure tripling is no joke. Neither is 9 million peo...
You really should be entertaining hypotheticals. If there was a time it’s now. 100,000 is an extremely low figure for a country like the US whose medi...
For the US, yes. For less developed countries? I’m far from convinced because they lack the basic infrastructures to police this or the beds, staff an...
It seems to me the very same people who bemoan the effects of western nations on poorer nation turn out to be the very same folks who, when it cones d...
Some basics stats and estimates recently. It’s about x10 as contagious with an incubation period that is around x5-10 as long AND there is no immunity...
There is certainly a degree of hysteria. Such is the internet! It’s a serious condition though, and not to be take lightly. I think lockdown policies ...
Chaos? It’s insignificant compared to what is happening, and is going to happen, elsewhere in the world. A few hundred thousand, perhaps a couple of m...
If you haven’t read Wittgenstein’s ‘Philosophical Investigations’ already I couldn’t recommend it enough given the thoughts and ideas you’ve expressed...
I can answer the ‘when’ but the ‘how’ is beyond my knowledge. Personally I’m just trying to push the narrative here and elsewhere to get people thinki...
I was looking at the original meaning of ‘hedonism’ a year or so ago. Cannot recall exactly what it was, but remember there were subtle differences be...
That’s not exactly what was said. They said restrictions would hopefully be completely lifted in 6 months, not there will be 6 months of lockdown. At ...
I guess you’re asking me how to deal with allocation of resources? Basically we need to discuss this across as many platforms as possible to remind go...
It incredibly hard to figure out. This has been a major concern for me since a month ago. The best I can make out suggests the developed world needs t...
