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 interact…

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…

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…

"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-Co…

"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 d…

Fascinating. Thank you for sharing.

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 d…

"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 u…

"I can’t imagine having my identity so wrapped in Trump losing the election that I would be hoping for hundreds of thousand dead and the failure of the American health care system"…

Germany is up to 1.76% now.

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…

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 …

but mainstream sources outside Fox News absolutely downplayed the seriousness of the virus and helped push the "it's not a big deal" perception that we are all now rowing against. …

This is no longer active, so please disregard Thanks!

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 a…

"Is there any danger for them?" Fox news dumped Laura Ingraham and Trish Regan. Both were at the forefront of claiming it was all a hoax. Dr. Drew has gone on a reputation rehabili…

"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 t…

It was an incredibly damaging one-off that has killed children. Clearly the vast majority of their work is worlds better than that, but I was replying to the appeal to authority th…

"And remember -- The Lancet is one of the most prestigious medical journals in the world. They're not going to publish something "junk"." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancet_MMR_a…

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 …
