If most of the people who get infected recover without issues ( and this is the general wisdom surrounding this disease at the moment ), why would you prefer that people get prevented from going to work at all coat and 28 million people filing for unemployment to letting the disease spread while...

Herd immunity is one aspect of everything - even without heard immunity people survive the disease. Another aspect is that you can't control how the disease spreads forever in a lockdown other than to delay the inevitable. The funny thing is that we aren't even implementing serious lockdowns...

So how will a lockdown solve for that?

So in other words, none of the countries practicing lockdown managed to do better than Sweden. I know we love to write but the answer is simple - reducing the spread after the disease enters your country is unlikely to have good results unless you can eradicate the infection. What really works...

So which country which had a lockdown succeeded in protecting them? The point is that if the virus hits a nursing home, then that is what drives the problem. A lockdown doesn't address that problem directly. We will see in retrospect. The lockdown when discussed in terms exclusively of its...

Watch the video I just posted that is all I have to say. We can revisit in a year's time since you don't seem to grasp that there is a difference between mitigating strategies and locking down the economy especially when the population at risk is largely identifiable and protectable. No one is...

A data centric view of Covid19. https://youtu.be/qtrv-mCCOD8

Well, the politicians will take the credit anyways.

With all due respect, I think your argument is wrong. Nobody wants anyone to die, but once the diseases are in the system, locking down the economy has costs as well as benefits. To frame the lockdown exclusively in terms of the benefits without the costs is why your argument makes sense to...

I was pre-diabetic for many years and I wasn't broke. So my issue was being ignorant, Maybe I am a small minority but sometimes, you have to reach out to people. 34 million is actually a low number, a lot of people who don't think they are diabetic often are - it is estimated that only 12% of...

I think the problem is processing the ball - it takes an immense amount of computational power to estimate spin and ball trajectory and I think it is hard to dedicate enough of the brain to doing this as you get older and then automate reactions to be instinctive. I don't think the problems...

https://theconversation.com/blood-sugar-levels-may-influence-vulnerability-to-coronavirus-and-controlling-them-through-conventional-means-might-be-protective-136592 People continue to talk around the fact that metabolic issues especially those that have gotten worse with age are the #1 risk...

But can't they just use another drug to enable zinc to enter the cell? Something safer? We don't have to get too complicated if we know zinc works.

You mean Maradona's hand of God?

It's actually a variant of the modern backhand that the Chinese use. Nothing really unorthodox about it if you watch players like Harimoto. It is much faster and easier to counter with than the traditional European swings but even.KJH uses something like that vs Underspin or away from the...

I love this part - sounds like they agree with you 100%: "These findings highlight the importance of awaiting the results ofongoing prospective, randomized, controlled studies before widespread adoption of these drugs." The lack of Zinc is a bummer tho...

Makes sense. I will admit it is hard for me to be patient. A lot of testimonials from multiple countries about the importance of taking zinc with hydroxychloroquine. Yet no one seems to be studying that particular combination. I get that in a situation where a disease can resolve on its...

All these things happen with the flu as well. So your predictions are entirely reasonable, and hopefully within that range and not distinctively serious.

We will see where everyone ends up in a year. The thing is that you can't lock down the economy forever if you are a functioning democracy. The Swedes admit that it hit a few of their nursing homes and their nursing homes are larger than those in say Norway. But unless there is a major drop...
