The CDC is currently saying that this virus has an R0 of 5.7. Couple that with the many cases of casual spread (e.g. people who have gotten it with people they have barely interacted with), and the contrarian claims by this German study see

It's a two page summary. Note that this, and the accompanying press conference (with professional PR team) are it . That is the entirety of the details they have released.

"The guy is not known for junk science" Junk science can come from people not known for junk science. And in the end we rack it up to a technical fault (e.g. a test for coronavirus antibodies that cannot distinguish between many o

The CDC is now estimating the R0 at 5.7, which is really high, and seems much more likely given the extremely rapid spread in areas like NYC. https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/7/20-0282_article

"According to the Heinsberg Study in Germany" This study and its conclusions have seen close to universal dismissal. It can't even demonstrate that it is actually detecting SARS-CoV-2 immunity (it was claiming results before

"with the added features of less control from the developers" Given that this is an additional option for developers, this is pretty tenuous logic. You seem to be arguing against developers having this option by claiming that it

How do you mean? This Apple design looks very different from any that I can find attributed to "Prusa" (not sure if that's a person or a company, but the company put out 3D print designs that are very different). And all of t

"How far are we going to be under projected death counts for Covid? A factor of 1000?" What do you think the projection was? The US has tragically seen 12,242 deaths (which is an undercount, but it's the authoritative number

Wait, wasn't your "but orange man bad" classic twitter response good enough? Why'd you edit it? "When it was risky for him to do so." Trump just got a get out of jail free card and absolute impunity and immunit

You claimed that there were countless videos of "MSNBC and CNN criticizing the travel ban on China because the virus wasn't any more dangerous than the flu." Which of course isn't accurate. You seek your redemption in so

This is the sort of false equivalency that leads to claims that they all lie, so it's okay if Fox egregiously lies. We see this on HN all the time where someone stomps their feet and cries about a news headline that they think doesn&

"They have no motive to supply false data, and lots of reasons to make it accurate." They are working with garbage data. They know this. They admit it. Then they rationalize that they can invent real data out of it. And as an exer

This isn't a peer reviewed paper. It's an extremely brief summary piece based upon a complete absence of evidence and then suppositions. And to what the guy above said, the Lancet infamously published Wakefield's since debunk

"As a comparison, Germany has a <2% fatality rate" Germany's good numbers may not hold. 20 days ago Germany had 7256 cases. Italy had 27977. 10 days ago Germany had 37307 cases. Italy had 74383. 0 days ago Germany had 960

It is based upon Chinese data that we know is effectively junk, to which they add pure speculation: The methodology for determining those infected but not symptomatic is complete guesswork. It is invented rationalization atop garbage data.

I don't think anyone heralded it as revolutionary. It's an affordance to the reality that it's a different experience using devices in darkness than in brightness. Mobile screens make dark situations more prevalent. As to UI
