OT: Coronavirus Resources - and other things to not worry about

some of the nerds are being hard headed with omicron because it was assumption busting for a number of reasons, which goes to the core of modeling.
 
Yeah a lot of people want scientists to outright say "omicron is a common cold" but that's not quite how science works unfortunately. I get it tho. We all like good news!

Nice thread here on the state of London from a data guy (not science). Lots of solid indicators.

Nope. Lots just not deviate from their models. This ward guy is one of them. His posts had all sorts of assumptions baked into them which may (or may not) have had predictive power for prior variants / waves.

Oh you mean the data guys. Which part is the issue? His analysis isn't that deep. Just showing trends based on actual data. There's no model there really. One of the least controversial threads ever that simply shows basic data (and nothing complex or deep). I know you hate twitter guys perhaps because they sometimes say true things that you don't like hearing, but damn some deserve a chance! I promise they're not all evil and chasing fame! Some are actually quite good at that data/virology thing!

This is why I can both love my extended family and give zero fucks about what they think about cancelled Christmas get together plans.

My aunt and uncle, who I actually like a lot, were some of the limited amount of family invited to my wedding a few years ago, etc...have been diagnosed with rona and they appear to have caught it in Newmarket, right before Christmas

...at the bar....

just a night out of drinking at the bar. Their whole house has it now. Both double vaxxed fwiw.
 
Over half the people I know who caught covid caught it at a bar. If you really feel like you need to drink overpriced alcoholic beverages, be more like me and load up on collective arts to drink at home. Bars are the last place you want to be. Crowded, usually small, with a bunch of people who clearly give zero fucks and are more likely to be positive than the average fella.

The plan is clearly "let it rip and hope for the best." And we may end up avoiding the worst outcomes, but "hope" is never a very good strategy. We might as well just kept full capacity. Cutting capacity in half is just theater. It makes little difference.
