They're different data sets. The data I shared is calculated from random population surveillance testing, and is the gold standard on measure of true spread. The data you linked to…

I don't think that is correct. It looks like in November/December the rate among grades 7-11 was almost 3x the rate of those ages 35-39. https://twitter.com/c_drosten/status/134754…

What you said is mostly true but there are also frequencies that ham operators can transmit in, but only have secondary priority to other uses. For example hams can only transmit i…

Sun exposure (and even tanning beds) produces vitamin D, but it also causes other changes in the human body. It appears sun exposure OR tanning bed use (!!!) reduces all cause mort…

That's assuming that people correctly know and express the opinion that they hold. Asking people directly is still somewhat of a noise signal. Also, the act of viewing the result o…

I don't condone conditions like this, but everyone should be able to put this in the context of the general standard of living in China. I've been to dorms in Chinese Universities …
