About the only upside is that China seems to have taken a big dose of their own poison.

Reminding ourselves that you asked to be "pointed to some (graphs predicting more than 6 months)": It is not clear when the image in first result was published, but given that it includes error bars for dates from March 2020 onwar

>Are you being deliberately dense? No, I'm not from the US, so the colloquial usage of "gas" as "fuel for cars" slipped my mind. The US is also a net exporter of crude oil, so all I've said so far still appl

How did the US screw up being the world's biggest producer of natural gas, and being energy independent?

It'll be like the wars in Iraq and Libya. Vitally important at the time, but you can't find anyone now who will say they supported them. Then again, how can you blame people? Most people do what they are told, and the person who g

Three huge assumptions here - "health system collapse" was the inevitable outcome of any other approach to dealing with Covid. "health system collapse" is worse than all of the other present and future side-effects, incl

Their income and operating margin has almost halved, compared to 2021. Their free cash flow is 1/50th of the previous few quarters. Those are truly horrible results. FB was a money printing machine, but they trashed it.

The two will be forever conflated (and there's an excellent argument that Putin made his move on new territory while the rest of the world had weakened itself with years of self-imposed Covid restrictions). However, literally shutting

Why were "they" wrong? Is it because the issues of each successive development in mass media made those of the previous iteration look quaint? It's easy to look back on (for example) TV as a harmless diversion, but it was a r

WW3 started years ago, and we have only just started to realise. The objective of this war is to turn the citizens of your enemies' countries into useless, self-absorbed, self-hating nobodies. For those of you who have read The Hobbit,

Why not? It's the most efficient way I could think of, to display the sheer quantity, timeline, and content of the "Covid predictions" that we were shown in the UK. They are easily clickable, to show the original context (typ

For all their other sins, at least China seems aware of the dangers of unfettered access to all that "tech" has to offer. I've long been of the opinion that it's insane for a country to allow any agent (in the broadest s

Sounds like you're in the UK. Do you consume any mainstream media? https://www.google.com/search?q=uk+covid+predictions&tbm=isc... I didn't take in much news, and now avoid it more than ever, but what little

Indeed. Bring back the good old days when men were men and worked in the fields all day, and women were women and watched the kids and fed the family.

Sure. https://www.google.com/search?q=uk+covid+predictions&tbm=isc... There are plenty that stretch out for a year.

>a forecast that goes out 6+ months is silly. Sure is, which is why it's odd we've been bombarded with endless graphs with months of predictions, over the past 2.5 years.

I think this is a limitation of faceless communication, and boils down to the respect that users of a platform have for the other users and the platform itself. Ie - there isn't enough. And that's ok, because we should spend more
