You don't seem to think very highly of other people. You could also phrase it as "if you have any possible risk factor, you should lock yourself away so me and my friends can build up herd immunity so you don't have to",

The 87k are the verified cases, there are a magnitude more cases. So there is some herd immunity in some areas which may with the current or possibly a bit more lax precautions be enough to keep the new cases at a fairly low level in the fa

But Uber is "everywhere" so when travelling you don't have to download additional apps, ask someone to call a taxi for you or hail one in the streets. You also don't have to deal with payments or risk being ripped off. T

Lol, I hope the mortality rate were lower than the 2% for birds.

I wish the massive financial bailout money could be used to build and improve infrastructure. There doesn't seem to be a lack of money but it never seem to do anything useful.

Yes nuclear is expensive at the moment but we are hardly building any new reactors. Lets say that society could research and engineer a mass producable reactor type safe enough to be politically viable and set the goal to replace fossil fue

Well, unless you have a vaccine, the virus does all of the work for you. Also, you can't really leave a country now anyway, and even if you could, the virus would be at the destination. The herd immunity is not really something that yo

How do you know it's complete nonsense if you have no knowledge on the subject?

He is not exactly saying or promising heard immunity in May but that they do have some mathematical models that point to that. He also states the caveat that these models are only as good as their input values and he doesn't sound conf

As I understand it, the quick antibody tests are the unreliable ones. For these tests, the blood will be collected at home and sent to labs where i would suppose reliable tests will be done. Also, the tests will begin next week and the resu

Why does everyone want to reduce the fever with pills? The immune system works best when there is a fever and if you suppress it you are just trading long term complications for short term relief. In the Covid-19 case it would IMO be much b

I like how the web site has overridden the default scroll behaviour, it's so much better this way. Said no one ever.

By being part of the leadership ranks and being unaware, shouldn't the disciplinary actions extend upon himself as well? Maybe being a total dick gives you a free pass at Boeing.

They try to but it's not always that easy. When you outsource you often need a lot more people to do the same work since there is more overhead. So the total cost may not be that much lower and the output is less. Not saying this is al

$29k is not that much is it? That is about what I ended up with for my degree in Sweden where higher education is free but you borrow for living expenses. I repay it with about $100 per month for 25 years. Perhaps the biggest difference is

I would guess a lot of people don't like the idea of subsidising luxury cars for wealthy people. I can understand that. Besides, aren't Model 3 and the coming Cybertruck below that limit?

Just enough time to accuse someone of having ties to white supremacy but not enough to hear an answer.

I would assume most companies use per diem for business trips. Agree that it would be great with something similar for other small expenses. But none the less, all company expenses needs to be verifiable by some kind of receipt in the accou

It's annoying and could probably be made easier, but these things are required by law. Also, not everyone can be trusted and it's not easy to tell.

Sure but then power lines needs to be built from where the power is produced to where it is used. This is also part of Energiewende but it is not that easy to just put up high voltage lines through a densely populated democracy. It could ta

The jobs at risk are not only those in the coal industry but also the jobs powered by the coal. You can't run a business without electricity. So if coal makes up about a third of the power then about a third of the jobs in Germany coul
