There is no debate. Healthcare workers are invariably wearing masks around all patients, regardless of known COVID19 status. It is simply irresponsible to claim that wearing masks offers only marginal benefit. This is a respiratory virus, i

The WHO also is claiming that Taiwan is just a part of China and the WHO will not accept a free Taiwan. Seems overly political and specific for an "independent" health organization.

They said wearing masks does not help decrease infectious spread. They actually claimed that wearing masks can increase infectious spread because of improperly wearing it.

If oil price goes down, demand for renewables goes down. Lower demand for renewables means... Higher prices? Less output of actual renewable products like solar panels? Less demand for new wind turbines?

It's amazing what can be done from an advertising standpoint to both get people interested in smoking, but also how to dissuade people from smoking. As a gay man, this anti-smoking ad campaign doesn't really appeal or apply to me,

A high percentage of COVID-19 infected people are asymptomatic. How would temperature and subjective screening prevent these asymptomatic patients from infecting many others?

No, I mean every government is incapable of saving everyone or preventing any infections. Nearly all countries in the world have had infections in their borders. The state of New York has an incredibly high infection rate because of its rol

There is a stark difference in population, density, and economic activity between the United States and every other country in the world. The United States is the global hub of business, it's easy to see why they would be different com

The virus was circulating in the United States undetected, by January. As one of the largest, most heavily traveled countries in the world, there was little hope that they would be able to shut their borders early enough to stave off any in

Every government got this wrong, local, state, and federal. Democrat and Republican. The most important lesson is that you can't trust the government, they're not capable of saving you. You need to be able to save yourself.

It's like artificially inflated GDP numbers from producing bad steel that nobody will buy. It does something, but in the end it's really nothing, and actually quite wasteful.

This is incorrect. There is no supply/demand relationship for pricing services. Doubling the number of trained physicians will not decrease healthcare costs, it will simply drive down physician annual income. The main driver of inflate

Physician practices get absorbed by large national corporations and patient care gets reduced to metrics that administrators can tweak to extract more revenue and profit. The benefits get paid to administrators as bonuses, while physicians

It doesn't matter, the level of detail is so good that no camouflage can hide your secrets. This tweet says: we can see anything we want to see. We know when you're lying, don't even try.

Wouldn't that be priced into futures contracts? Even with all the problems with Iran, the price of oil is really low in a historical context.

Even if the companies laterally move overseas manufacturing to other Asian countries, the end result is still China losing economic control over the United States. Can't those other countries start behaving like China? Sure, but doubtf

Russia is an irrelevant economic factor in the 21st century. Their export is fossil fuels, and that's about it.

100 years after Communism burst on the scene, we currently look at that development with disgust. Right now most people have access to abundant food, cellphone in every pocket, access to a wealth of information, access to transportation, in
