Epidemiologists from Stanford, Oxford and Harvard demand to immediately stop the devastating measures. http://gbdeclaration.org/
The only source I trust for my critical and unbiased coronavirus information is the "corona-research" user on Hacker News.

It's a low cost way to remind people that we definitely shouldn't be having Thanksgiving, Christmas, or other holiday gatherings.

I wonder if we could implement some sort of cap and trade system to make everyone happy? Everyone could be rationed a certain number of gatherings per month and then each person would be free to choose how to use them. They could use one to see family during the holidays, they could go to a protest, go to a wedding, celebrate in the street, go to a movie, etc. We could even track them as discrete tokens, or "social c…
We operate in the wedding niche and we have seen a drastic decline in not only the number of weddings but also the size of weddings. The impact has been significant.
