    @Klaus said in IFR 0.4% ?:

    Why should the IFR depend on hugging or kissing or anything like that?

    These things influence transmission, but I don't see why they should influence fatality.

    I think there are various potential factors. Nobody knows, I guess, the importance of these factors:

    maybe the way the data was collected was wrong - there are doubts about how representative they are a somewhat decent health system with well-educated doctors and enough ICU places might be a factor some people claim that we test more and earlier than others; also, people aren't concerned about costs and will go to the doctor early. Together, this might contribute to often catching the disease in its early form when there are more medical options probably a dozen more potential factors

    Note that he didn't question the beer connection at all. He must agree.

    Indeed it is. His family must be so relieved.

    Politically, there might be some quiet disappointment, but it shall be very quiet.

    @brenda Mainland Chinaā€™s face mask production capacity was around 110 million masks per day (late February statistics). China supplied half of the workā€™s face mask in 2019. Taiwanā€™s face mask production capacity and policy do not amount to much for the rest of the world in the grand scheme of things.

    I have the impression that the mainland Chinese already discriminate against black (very dark-skinned) people even before the pandemic. The pandemic and (most likely government sanctioned) propaganda just exacerbate the discrimination.

    It's just a book, written by men.

    Dewey, you're wrong on multiple levels.

    I hope itā€™s merely a typo that you confuse mark for Dewey. I have met both mark and Dewey in person. They are two different people.

    No, I meant exactly what I said. Figure it out.

    You quoted @mark's post and called him "Dewey."
    It's quite easy to figure out that it's either a typo, or you have mistaken @mark for Dewey, or you thought the two are one and the same.
    If you meant something else, then you were not saying what you thought you meant.

    You're a smart lad. Figure it out.

    @George-K You know, I was kind of wondering why they didnā€™t try to work up some kind of telework with some of you retired gaspassers. No way that you should be in the hospitals face to face, but they could certainly have mirrored the vitals of various patients to your computer and you could have been on FaceTime with Medical Technicians advising them and overseeing.

    @Boris What level of coverage did your daddy buy for you? Did he get the BestWellness or EssentialWelness option?

    I am thinking about Elite coverage plan but not the optional plans. They add a lot to the premium.

    @taiwan_girl said in How well is your community doing on social distancing?:

    @Mik

    I have talked to some friends who will go for a drive (never leaving the car) just to get out and get away from being in the house.

    I would think that something like that would make it seem like social distancing is not going well, but it really is in fact going well.

    I would agree with that, but I have pretty extensive experience with small town cops. Technically we'd be violating the order. I'd not wish to have done all this perfect isolation then end up in some petri dish of a jail cell.

    This is not a time to be taking chances. As I told, well, pretty much everybody, it's a time to think with your head, not your heart.
