"actual laws"
"In a field where an overlooked bug could cost millions, you want people who will speak their minds, even if they’re sometimes obnoxious about it."
Lewk you're such a racist hypocrite no one understands your points. Where on your scale of "actual laws" would unlawful assembly fall? Or impeding the rights of emergency vehicles? Or failing to pay for toothpaste?

French study about hydroxicloriquine. It seems journalist clinical studies do better than scientists. At this time, WHO telling us hydroxicloriquine does not work, while we know its politically adversarial position towards USA, diminishes WHO credibility.
Also, you could blame WHO for late response to COVID worldwide.
Jan 7. CDC establishes an improved tracking system.
Jan 20. First COVID case in USA
Jan 23. WHO said it was too soon to declare emergency. Source, WHO website.
Jan 31. Trump bans travelers from China. WHO opposed.
Mar 11. WHO declares emergency. WHO responded 40 days after Trump banned travel from China.
And despite WHO being the one who reacted late, way after Trump, media still lies and bashes with gossipy attitude.
How late did Trump react? He banned Chinese travelers 40 days BEFORE WHO declared emergency.
Medical professionals of CCSS (Costa Rican NHS equivalent) defends the use of hydroxicloriquine. As you may know, Costa Rica has been very successful in mitigation. Also, if you see the official figures, in USA for each 1 dead there are 3 recovered (24% mortality) while Costa Rica has only 2%. If you are going to tell me mortality underestimates presymptomatic patients I will also say that death toll is also underestimated because hospitals do not test all dead people either. It looks that hydroxicloriquine is just a trashing tool to defame Trump.

Freedom - When people learn to embrace criticism about politicians, since politicians are just employees like you and me.
Spain reports about 43000 people dead due to COVID.
Government promoted a huge march, ignoring social distancing.
Government knew about the problem and the day after the march, they declared emergency.
Virtue signaling that costs lives.
Spanish people are very upset.
Tell Spanish people that COVID is a flu, and you will see them upset.
And yet look at US media.

So. Is Tegnell going to resign? Or is being responsible for hundreds maybe thousands of deaths not a good enough reason?
Congratulations America

His remarks have been somewhat mischaracterized. They're saying they mostly did the best they could've done, based on what they knew (note: as opposed to what everyone else suspected were plausible risks). They're not actually taking responsibility for the care home deaths, only saying they should've tested a little more at care homes. They're not conceding any real criticism re. suppression measures. The framing remains the same: we know a few more things now that, in hindsight, may have influenced policies to a small extent earlier on in the epidemic, but we're doing about as well as one could've expected, and everyone else will end up doing about as poorly as we have. It's not an acknowledgement that our approach was outright wrong—it's just an attempt to defuse the criticism by saying we have done a decent job, but that we could've done a little better. I'm being a little harsh, but his subsequent comments to Swedish media suggests he doesn't agree with the substantive criticism of analysis and strategy; he only regrets that it somehow turned out to be worse than they'd expected.

Fascinating thread. The graph in Tweet 7 is shocking.

Georgia and Florida still doing better than NY and NJ by a massive margin.
Um, Georgia has about 70% as many cases as New York despite having half the population. Florida has roughly the same number of new per capita cases as New York. And there's the fact New York cases are decreasing, while the Georgia and Florida ones are not.

Right, Lewk.

How's that look plotted per capita across the country? Raw numbers are meaningless in a state vs state comparison w/o per capita totals. And ultimately the number dead per capita is what matters, if TX is smarter about protecting old folks compared to NY that will reflect in the eventual data.
Its the ultimate metric. I suppose you could add things like "long term physical problems due to covid" but the data gets messy. Other variables are of course important to look at *for other reasons* such as state re-openings, preparing hospitals for surges etc but in the end if one state has twice as many cases but half as many deaths (unlikely) the deaths are what matter.
Wait till you find out how messy the death data across states is.
When the sky above us fell
We descended into hell
Into kingdom come
Think about who this virus is hitting hardest and whose lives Lewk values least.
