Treasonous.

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?

>I am worried there is a fine line between 'realism' and a backlash against care for the elderly and chronically ill. I guarantee you that if we don't target our lockdowns on the a…

>Hydroxycholorquine is interesting [1] both as an anti-inflammatory and immune modulator. The Azithromycin probably does nothing against nCoV-2 but may well help control secondary …

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 pro…

>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 sec…

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

>We don't halt the world for "bad colds". No we typically don't. But in this case we may have . The science is beginning to point to the fact that this virus is not particularly le…

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 un…

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 po…

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…

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 guid…

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/fac…

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 somethin…

Which part? I'm happy to oblige for specifics, but it's all available on the Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_flu_pandemic

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 …

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 ch…

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 do…
