What part of what I wrote makes you think that as a Dutchman I feel you were talking about me? :chin:

Agustino wasn't blind to Trump's faults but accepted them as a necessary evil to shake up the system so it would finally change (in something I wouldn...

So Trump cancelled his daily conference because he's a whiny little bitch that can't handle critical questions. "nothing but hostile questions" indeed...

Yes, it's not interesting to hear you think people are deranged. But hey, it isn't so bad, because you mean it in a non-medical way. Meanwhile, it's n...

My neighbour is running the ventilators for the covid-19 patients when he's on duty (he's an anithesiologist (or however your write that in english))....

You don't get to decide what words mean.

Your go-to phrase when confronted with a narrative that contradicts your lies.

Thanks for the compliment. I don't think Dutch people are smarter per se but the average educational level is higher and the country is smaller which ...

Yes, especially if you have a shortage and high pressure on your ICU system, people will get their ventilator at the latest possible. But the later yo...

Not specifically but what holds for other respiratory failures will hold here as well.

Once he goes to prison he'll be someone's bitch. Does that count?

There's plenty of literature on how ventilators can increase the likelihood of death because it's a complicated piece of machinery and every person is...

It's not a tautology and I'm not inclined to explain why there is already an existing protocol what to do in case of acute respiratory failure. Suffic...

This is based on existing protocol which is science based. Try again.

I'm a normal person and I still know it's a fucking stupid suggestion. I'd expect that the most serious problem affecting the US at the moment would h...

I didn't miss it because it's not what I referred to. It's not greater acces but earlier access and your article doesn't prove the opposite at all bec...

You must have missed that. To answer this: Higher.

I don't think we disagree on substance but I do think you're wrong to multiply with the 6.3 due to the population size difference. All things being eq...

I doubt he can read, which is why he only watches FOX.

Another misrepresentation. I have not criticised his optimism as my post history shows. You've just relabelled and excuses bad policy as "optimism". T...

I stopped reading after the first inanity. Edit: or insanity. Take your pick.

Ventilators are used so you don't suffocate or feel like they are going to suffocate, it doesn't treat the virus. You get problems with breathing when...

He's talking about bombarding your insides with UVC, which does kill viruses, because he doesn't know you'll get acute cancer from that. This guy need...

Not relevant indeed. When doing nothing, the virus will spread at more or less the same speed in every population. While population density might have...

Yiddish gibberish doesn't make it more profound. Sorry.

So you haven't read the article because it's not blaming Trump. Meanwhile, you're setting up pathetic strawmen in place of the criticism that has been...

You have a rich imagination then. Handling it worse than Trump did and is doing is nearly impossible.

The other guy. It's not that hard. And I warned you about him last time.

Really Big Guns?

population numbers aren't even relevant to measure how bad a country does in the initial phase as the virus doesn't care about that until it starts to...

I've tried to estimate this effect very roughly but not sure whether what I did made sense. I'm only a lawyer after all. :smile: see: https://docs.goo...

It's not about optimism or pessimism. It's about not opening your mouth until you have enough information.

@"Hanover" As expected: Chloroquine doesn't work

If I give you access to the sheet, can you make adjustments to it to reflect this issue? Would be nice if we get a reasonable estimate set up for PF t...

Correction on the below. I thought the estimated death rate was .6% but it's .66%. Plus I was an order of magnitude off. We're talking about 637,000 d...

I got it from here : https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(20)30243-7/fulltext I'd say it's the best estimate we have so far...

So you'd rather sacrifice people than money? Of course, there's a turning point where the economy's downturn lowers life expectancy and causes depress...

A broader view: Covid-19 decision making

Current, better contenders than chloroquine, to help treat covid-19 according to Dutch data are remdesivir, ruconest and the BCG-vaccin. Anybody else ...

We need a word worse than depression. We're looking at a lost generation in many countries; a generation that will have to live with paying of the deb...

Unless you're a volatility trader I don't see the upside.

The latest peer reviewed estimate in the Lancet was .6%. Also, I've looked into the Chinese and WHO handling and the more I look into it, the more app...

The overlap is 100% given a long enough time period. I think we don't really know yet in the short term but I think there are some educated guesses. W...

That reads to me as if he doesn't know one way or the other but that we shouldn't be surprised if the yearly deaths for 2020 despite covid-19 remains ...

And to tie you over until you find something relevant to your skills and experience, you might consider delivery work. Edit: sorry, typical "here's a ...

If Trump and Obama are symptoms of a rigged system then your question misses the point. Trump can only be the douche he is because of the Republican s...

Maybe. The other probability is, that they've already said A and therefore will say B. In the art of persuasion a small concession opens the way to la...

It's amazing why it's now reported, as if it's news, that UV light is a virucide. No shit. Let's recall MERS for a second and realise that the summer ...

Ah, so you don't know how international law works.
