They forgot to say we have just achieved 6% of herd immunity, implying at least 435,000 more deaths.

Not really. Data for Spain can be perfectly used and fit without averages on daily increases => https://media-exp1.licdn.com/dms/image/C5622AQH1JmaVMs3mqQ/f...


It's unclear what that graph is supposed to show. It can't be cumulative cases (because there are days with decreases), but the scales are completely off if they're supposed to show daily increases/diffs (Spain certainly did not see daily increases anywhere near 100k in the past few days).


I understand these 3 solutions belong to European strategy: "Mitigation".

Asia is performing another strategy: "Suppression" tracing every one single positive case in their countries. In a few months they will be able to walk by the street knowing there is no even one single positive case out of quarantine in the whole country to be afraid of. This way they can wait two years or more to a global solution and minimal interference in their daily lives.

Pronóstico para España, peor que el de Italia en Mayo de 2020, 45.000 víctimas. El pico llegaría a mediados de Abril con 2.200 víctimas diarias.


Why are they anxious? that's the question ... “There’s a lot of anxiety. How could you not have that? Tech companies are fueling some of the most egregious human-rights abuses.”


How many of us work for a company fueling egregious human-rights abuses? I work for a company that just sells handbags and stuff.

My anxiety is about deadlines and such.


I think its more the nature of the work. Ambiguous time required to solve a problem. Constantly changing tools and disposable knowledge base. Disposable output. etc.


Guinness World Records recognized NASA's X-43A scramjet with a new world speed record for a jet-powered aircraft - Mach 9.6, or nearly 7,000 mph.


Unmanned.


The concept of both piloted and powered seems to be really elusive.
