I’d suggest don’t giving master degree too much credit. People graduate from master degree all the time and they still can’t do d*** in real jobs, or understand common sense, or have basic sympathy.

They can’t and/or won’t, so say it with me! Shutdowns don’t work.
Guess what? It doesn’t matter the reason they don’t work.
Magically, he doesn’t need to suffer any of them apparently based on his comments. At least thats what I feel, and could potentially explain why he says 99.5% survival rate.
Your comments reminds me of Wilber Ross who is on TV holding a coffee can while defending Republican’s decision to remove funding for food banks and dismantle healthcare. Because why? Because he and some top officials are billionaire.
I used to think maybe a full reset of the entire world could solve the problem. Now I realise it is not the solution, as human will behave exactly like now after a reset, repeating all mistakes we have made. It’s ridiculous.
I manage a finance team at one of the largest organizations in the world. People like me are everywhere and I work with them every day. We have perspective and know life must continue, regardless of the many challenges we face each day. Covid is one of those challenges we must learn to live with and do our best to prevent, treat, and eliminate. We are closer to that goal today than yesterday and the day before that.
The future is bright if you continue.
If you give up and hide inside, you’re doing damage completely unrelated to a respiratory virus with almost certain survival for 99.8% of the population. Trust me, there are worse things.
We operate on “acceptable” deaths for many things every day. If we didn’t do greatest food for greatest number and our ONLY goal was saving every life, progress would utterly stop.
Sure, maybe we have other alternatives, including managing world populations to a more sustainable level.

😂...the only death rate that matters in this discussion is the real death rate from covid, to which there is one answer. We don’t have a clue of total cases and have a much better sense of total deaths, so we only know death rate is too high.
Yes, and you know many people are doing right now to cope with this? Wearing masks wherever they can to limit the transmission of the virus as much as possible. People are learning to live with the virus until at least the vaccine is out. I don’t know where your 99.8% number comes from, but say what you want.
Accepting death happens when we can at least have measures to defend ourselves to an extent. We don’t lock down for flu because we have flu shots to help controlling the spread, and the virus, despite mutating fast, does not transmit much compared to COVID. We have NO DEFENCE against COVID right now. NONE. No vaccine, treatment development is still underway, and the virus is highly contagious. You can choose to believe or not, but there have been reports here and there from people trying to recover from COVID infection. Some takes a few days, others take months or just can’t make it. I would like to know if someone is courageous enough (yes, need tremendous courage) to simulate a scenario when everyone gets infected, the impact to the survivability, the economy, and the world in general.
Lockdown is bad, but what better response can we have against a virus that we have NO DEFENCE? Not all politicians in the world just want to see their people dying all the time.
But still, feel free to ignore all of this. I frankly don’t care much.
The USA doesn’t make people live in fear and amp up death?
after 9-11 the USA invaded several countries and the result was over 800,000 dead in Afghanistan and Iraq.
now the USA is experiencing 9-11 levels of death EVERY DAY. And the response from the President? “Perhaps we can implement martial law and rerun the election?”
Numerous leaders around the world have seen their popularity increase during COVID. All they needed to do was respond in a competent manner.
Trumps response has been incompetent.
for 8 weeks after closing the borders the USA had no test for COVID because Trump ruled out using the WHO backed test and wanted to develop an American test. That 8 weeks allowed COVID to spread undetected around the country.
pure incompetence.
I find the people thinking it's feasible to stay locked down ridiculous. I'm a recent suicide survivor. If you can look down upon us poor peasants who need our businesses open to survive, then you can stay indoors. Health isn't just about the virus. Scaring and financially destroying people to the point they kill themselves, OD on drugs, drink to death, avoid going to the hospital/doctor for critical care, etc is unacceptable.
Yes, the virus is real.
No, the cure should never be worse than the disease.

We don’t exist in a vacuum bro. Repeated lockdowns just means they didn’t work.
So we lay down the terrible defence against a virus we cannot treat, cannot establish immunity, and frankly unable to control. Seems about right.
Right... the number which I gave. The death-to-case ratio. Calculated from the only official numbers available. It will adjust over time. Today it stands at 1.8%, which is actually too low.
That was fast. Faster than I could even hear about. An entire side of my family now has it. They didn’t need to wear masks or distance bc they didn’t know anyone it affected either, and of course the lord protects them from such things anyway. So it turns out they had themselves an early Christmas party 3 days ago. Everyone that’s taken a rapid test confirms, 37 more infected, incl 8 over 70yo. Idiots.
I agree that this is a wise move for Apple. Be safe. Wear a seatbelt. Don’t speed. Don’t text and drive. Wear a mask. Keep your distance. Now is a good time to spend more time at home and play on your iPad.
They actually track those types of deaths. So while deaths or accidents at work may be down, it will still be interesting to see how the deaths compare with other categories like:
All cancers
Alzheimer’s
Diabetes
Coronary Heart Disease
Stroke
Influenza / Pneumonia
Chronic Lower Respiratory Disease
Deaths due to accidents
Liver Disease
Motor Vehicle
Suicide
Drug Induced Deaths
Covid-19
China did this, poorly, for centuries. For other countries idk. But pre-pregnant check is some basic form of eugenics so we don’t end up giving birth to babies with physical problems.
But why are studies showing this
Or this
Studies are starting to find out the masks act as fomites
I really wish they would more importantly tell people to take there daily dose of D3, Zinc, and 1500 to 2000mg of vitamin C (spread the vitamin C out throughout the day).
