So do a lot of things our government does. I am glad that my monthly donation to the EFF at the very least is being used to push back.

This is beyond a spurious claim.

Um. He doesn't advocate do nothing. He specifically says the opposite. Read the paper. WTF?

You're putting words into my mouth. And I really don't appreciate it. In fact, I think that our focus should be directly on the at risk population. I think we should do more to protect them and provide a whole host of interventi

>We don't usually call a disease that can easily evolve to pneumonie "a cold". That's not true. Just not true. Colds and influenza regularly proceed to pnemonia or long lasting secondary lower respiratory infections,

So they claim. Anything out of China should be taken with a healthy pinch of skepticism.

That's too bad. We really need to ramp up PCR tests as well as begin serological studies (there is one I am ware of, and a product on the way.) Immediately. We will not get this under control if we don't. We need to know how fast

To be clear, the evidence seems to be that your outcome is still in the minority of cases. Some unknown but double digit percentage experience no symptoms at all despite testing positive, another large proportion only experience upper respi

I had read that rebuttal. The odd thing about it is as the author himself wrote, I'm not sure that Ioannidis is advocating inaction. Neither would I. Things must be done. It's that it's completely unclear that the "lockd

Absolutely. One of the worst consequences that we may have to deal with at the end of this is that public trust will go down. In the beginning our leaders failed to act on the guidance of the scientific and medical communities -- almost two

You are spreading misinformation yourself. Even your own link doesn't support exactly what you just said. "Renaming" is not what happened. Your link: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/mar&#x

This is so completely blowing this crisis out of proportion. I am so confused by the tenor of the discourse on HN. I expected more from this place.

It's not all that confusing. The science is pretty clear. The best use of masks on people in public is on the sick themselves. You can't use the standards and practices in something like a TB hospital for medical personnel in p

Is this a serum or antibody test? If so, this is very good news. If mass testing occurs we will know very soon the true nature of the disease. For example, after serum testing for H1N1 we learned -- to our horror -- that 1.4 billion people

Is it? It's a letter intended to persuade President Donald Trump to act in relief of California. I think the statistic is not out of context. There's nothing in that letter that changes the meaning. We have outside knowledge with

Which also has a sunset clause that will never ever be allowed to expire. All this talk of temporary authority is a joke.

It has been refreshing to see the mask come off of those feigning care about "undesirables" who would be disproportionately affected by this virus. At the end of the day we come down to economic calculations to decide whether to l

As interesting as this is I'm not sure that this attention is beneficial for the man who is clearly mentally ill. Should this be on HN? Quote from his repo: >This is not a part of a game. All of my family and friends' voices we

I imagine in case of the safety of the habitation there probably would be exceptions made. You know, an emergency or crisis of some kind. An act of god. I would imagine that if this went to court and the laws had a carve-out for that... Any

I can understand critiquing Tesla's business models, their claims about the cars, their financial status, or even Musk's character. But calling what Tesla has done over the last 10 years unimpressive makes no sense to me.

I disagree. Spectre vulnerabilities are not new. They didn't make a factual error in their reply.
