Over here for the American who isn't an American. :lol:

Because biological qualifications aren't relevant as history has quite clearly shown. The usage of the term racism historically and contemporaneously ...

OK then. You can stop the "Chinese aren't a race" complaint forever.

Race is a sociological construct, not a biological.

The tragedy of the commons is a theory that originated after Locke's death but nice try.

It was getting attention well before Trump mentioned it. See: https://www.rtlnieuws.nl/editienl/artikel/5028061/oud-malaria-medicijn-chloroquine-coron...

Gross negligence more to your liking?

I never took the tragedy of the commons literally but as a conceptualisation as to how externalisation of costs happen.

I just spoke with him. It doesn't work so now they're using it as protective gear for themselves. :-) More good news: they're pretty sure now (at leas...

The solution of the tragedy of the commons most certainly isn't "property rights". I suggest you read up on it again.

3. Is, I t hink, not even about egocentrism. It's much more about abstract and personal risk and how people react to those. If you're old or have como...

It's definitely an issue in some countries. Just not Sweden and the Netherlands. Heard about Hungary or course but haven't studied it at all. Maybe yo...

The latest estimate is .66% in the lancet.

Yeah, that's why he was looking for something that covered the entire face without leaking air, which regular CPAP still do. It's a snorkling mask fro...

We tried without fines and people wouldn't keep their distance (we had gridlock to the beach). After that weekend they instituted fines. So you get a ...

At the local hospital they disinfect masks with UV light if they're still dry to make sure they don't run out. My neighbour build a CPAP with this: ht...

That's very vague. There are a lot of differences per county. Sweden prohibits gatherings over 50 people and closed schools, except for primary school...

You're confusing different threads. But you are a little cute Trumpanzee. How Trump's flight ban wasn't going to be effective has already been dealt w...

I give it until this weekend. Sweden has some of the least hospital beds per capita so they will run up against the limits of their health care capaci...

Prepare for the next jobless recovery.

Bolsonara is an even bigger cunt than Trump. Quite the achievement.

No name calling occurred snowflake.

That data is available on worldometers.info. Have fun figuring out the obvious. Also, why Trump is a cunt. Here he is on March 15: “This is a very con...

By looking at other countries that had their eye on the ball. 20,000 is still generous.

It's all in the sentence I wrote. Instead of jumping to conclusions that are patently absurd, if something is unclear you can ask questions.

Learn to read.

It's also incredibly cynical that 100,000 deaths is a good job. The reply is "No, you fucking cunt. You are way too late to do a good job, which resul...

This is first of all incorrect: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2016-2017.html 28,000 to 61,000 is the right number. Second, the two diseases are...

My travel plans for this summer: Hallsinki and Islamabathroom

That first one is really a very misleading title. They've relaxed rules for posting of collateral, which is temporary regulatory relief. Capital Requi...

This is of course interesting. A significant reduction in the standard of living because you can buy less cheap crap. But what would a society win if ...

A self sufficient alcoholic? Nice. My wife and I might move up to SM strangulation with the possibility of not stopping on time. With a bit of luck th...

I heard the same and that it actually lingers after recovery. I'd sell your whiskey collection before it's too late.

This thread misses the point. The problem isn't wet markets and wild food but the increased capitalisation of wild food and the physical pressure on h...

NY is also very densely populated with a lot of commuting. I wouldn't be surprised if the R0 would be higher there simply due to circumstance.

For medicines that it makes sense to go to phase 1 testing (of 3 phases), about 27% end up in phase 2. Good to know you don't read my replies to you, ...

Thanks!

the CPAP was developed in 1980.

It'll be pure luck with about 27% chance of him being right. There was in vitro effect for both drugs on SARS but that was ultimately too low to pursu...

I would think South Korea is the other extreme. Where they use your phone data (and they know it's yours, with name and everything) to warn everybody ...

It's not the first time he posted that tweet either. Nobody reacted to it so he had to post it again.

Drug lords in the favelas of Brasil are enforcing a curfew and social distancing because the (local) government can't.

I don't know and I don't think it's interesting either as local health care situations define what is a manageable amount of infected and what we do e...

Again a strawman. Nobody is making important decisions on the models but on the information that is available. Exponential growth, limited healthcare ...

Wtf? I wake up to #Brazilcannotstop. Criminal.

If you're waiting for perfect information you'll always be late. We knew it developed exponentially in the beginning, we've seen what it does in Wuhan...

That's a different point all together.

I can describe the motion of planets with Newtonian mechanics. There's more to it than that but we don't need perfect information to make informed dec...

I have to disagree. They position would be an argument to stay in lock down ad infinitum. I think the measure of openness should be dictated by what t...

But nobody is suggesting any one model should be believed as entirely accurate. There's is simply not enough information. There's enough information t...
