You said outside rallies are fine.

But were also fine when that example happened.

Read that Orwell passage again and reflect for a min

[sturg33]

Because SCIENCE!

Gotta close those outdoor parks so the scary virus cant spread.

[goldfly]

i find closing of parks and national parks etc to be extreme in most cases most likely

but i understand an initial closing of them and making sure staff can be safe for reopening and maybe rules where people will be in close quarters of each other

My advice would be if you're scared you should just stay home

Because mass infections all at once worked out so well for NY and the surrounding areas. New Orleans too.

Half the country has been open for a month and a half and we are having our fewest death totals.

If you're scared stay home. Let the rest of us live our lives

And if our leaders reacted with rationale instead of hysterical fear the death total would have been significantly less.

Uts these types of reactions that screwed up the bad flu response.

Information on long-term health issues for children and young adults has been slowly coming in. It is going to get more attention.

Why are so many garbage studies getting attention?

Over the two last weeks, Mayor Bill de Blasio and others have voiced concerns that packed police brutality protests across the city could trigger a new wave of COVID-19 infections.

Whether or not that’s the case, however, remains unknown — and de Blasio’s team won’t be directly trying to find out.

The hundreds of contact tracing workers hired by the city under de Blasio’s new “test and trace” campaign have been instructed not to ask anyone who’s tested positive for COVID-19 whether they recently attended a demonstration, City Hall confirmed to THE CITY.

“No person will be asked proactively if they attended a protest,” Avery Cohen, a spokesperson for de Blasio, wrote in an emailed response to questions by THE CITY.

What a joke

any data to share on % of patients getting HDQ over time in the two countries? Would be good to have.

thoughtful discussion on role of journalists and scientists during the pandemic

Doubt data from either country would be reliable at a granular level. But if there was in fact a hugh level change in using the drug then it could explain the difference in IFR.

ok...I also wonder about what the graph shows...death rate on cases closed...is it a cumulative number...a daily number...what do the raw death and recovery numbers look like
