  1. ​ @Oldmusician1357 NIH maintains a free library of medical journals in pdf form. Start reading.

  2. The smirk on everyone's face who cites satellite images from mid-March of bodies in the street that were only closely photographed in April showing no decomposition . . . No, forensics is not that hard. "Common sense," hm? Indeed.

  3. "Intervention by Russia's central bank . . . " No, . . . people need energy to manufacture things, grow crops, transport foodstuffs and other goods, and heat their homes. They do not need Mastercard, iPhones, McDonald's, Google, or Twitter to manufacture things, grow crops, transport foodstuffs and other goods, and heat their homes. I know, it's counterintuitive. /s

  4. Because no one buys anything from China, India, or Vietnam.

  5.  @babblo1389  This is what has been happening. We should think of this episode as a dress rehearsal/stress test. Because this is exactly how the -- very unsentimental -- great powers view it. The humanitarian pablum is for us.

  6. ​​ @KB-sv7fm ​ No, they did not "test it a million times." And solid evidence, published in the top tier medical journals, of significant problems in about 1 in 1000 people is mounting. Anything serious in above one or two people per 100,000 is considered noteworthy. You don't read journals? NIH makes them available for free in its library.

  12. ​ @jb1139 Actuarial tables that insurers use. The fact is, the raw data needs to be carefully vetted first, then multivariate analysis must be done -- a lengthy, expensive project requiring careful judgment and candor. Nah. Won't happen. But nothing less can provide definitive answers.

  13. Man is mortal.

  14. Ironic, as Americans were assured that former East Germany had the greatest animosity toward Russia.

  15.  @krollpeter  Good point.

  16.  @krollpeter  To recap at this point, toward the end of June, what do you believe, ideally, should be done?

  17. ​@arlosmith9504 You do not have a responsibility to society to take an experimental drug that does not even stop transmission and whose safety profile is still unknown. The burden of proof is always on the proponent of a drug.

  18. ​ @arlosmith9504 My post just disappeared. It contained accurate information. NO ONE claims any COVID vaccine prevents COVID or prevents transmission.

  19. Or, it might not happen at all.
