Hard lockdown causes 100% to suffer, but we save the 1%.
A soft lockdown causes the 100 to suffer, and we only save "flatten the curve" lives. Which according to NYT ventilator stats saves 12% of people. 1% times 12% is 0.12%.
No lockdown and 1% of old and obese people die.
As a note coronavirus is 4x more deadly than the yearly flu and kills the same demographic.
Are we overreacting on a virus that is on the same order of magnitude as a flu?
This seriously enrages me. We knew coronavirus was going to last years and could mutate. Why did people claim lockdowns were the "Science" solution?
I was censored here for pointing out the 3 options. In reality soft lockdowns seemed to be the only wrong answer. Harsh lockdowns and no lockdowns actually provide a benefit.
I've wondered this too. I've seen someone make a COVID data library but I thought about how much more difficult it would be to learn the library instead of just importing and manipulating the data.
My best thought is that it saves time to import, it saves visual lines which may make it easier to understand what is code ripe for modification and code that shouldn't be changed.
I've become a polymath and I never expected it. 4 years mechanical design Engineering, 3 years electrical design Engineering, and after 12 years casually Programming I got my first full time Programming job.
I have no idea what my next job will be.
I think Engineering, but I feel like that is a waste of my new Programming skills.
Not sure if HN understands what science is, because I caught reddit saying a scientist's opinion was science.
Science is science when an author can be removed from a study and the experiment can be repeated. A 12 year old or science hater should be able to reproduce the results if it's science.
Things that aren't science-
>Authority- A PhD/medical doctor/a scientist, these are human opinions, not science. They can cite studies to be scientific.
>Art
>Tradition
There's value in non scientific disciplines, but they have their own burdens to be aware of.
There needs to be outrage at the Physician cartel, the hospital cartel, the pharmacist cartel, the pharmacy cartel, the pharma manufacturer cartel, and insurance cartel.
These government granted monopolies make unnaturally high incomes due to regulatory capture.
My best solution is to legalize a science based healthcare. Although the cartels would never allow it, they have spent billions establishing Authority based healthcare.
Is "a lot" 1% or 80%.
