"Definition of populism noun from the Oxford Advanced American Dictionary

a type of politics that claims to represent the opinions and wishes of ordinary people"

The bold is my emphasis on the problem. Because when the populist leader/party says they represent the opinions and wishes of ordinary people that also means that their legitimacy to hold power is higher that the other parties.

If that does not happens they claim the democratic rules and institutions are flawed and must be discarded.

Usually with the kind of results like we saw a few day ago.

While there is a lot of data that suggests that Vitamin D deficiency implicates worse COVID-19 outcomes, things get more murky where the administration of Vitamin D supplements is really effective. See:

and https://www.medrxiv.org/conten...

It may be possible that the underlying health problem, that has one symptom as vitamin D deficiency, is connected with increased problems from COVID-19 but taking vitamin D does not solve it.

So in the trolley problem, you refuse to pull the lever to kill only one person (and instead you kill five) because it would be an evil move?

Even with that it gives 127e3 / 2.5e6 = 0.0508. Percent wise it is 5.08%.

Worse, you should calculate that ratio using not the current cases (because some of the will result in deaths) but the current number of recovered cases (1,081,437)

So (using current values) 128152 / 1081437 = 0.1185 or 11.85%

Of course, the denominator can be bigger because there may be asymptomatic cases not detected but the numerator may also be higher because of extra deaths that were not counted as COVID-19 related (also because of lacking tests).

Well, from your link, the death rate is falling and currently is 10.67% which is far from the 0.05% that you quoted before...

The article is from "Thu 21 May 2020 18.51 BST" so the chosen week means using the latest data. That is not cherry-picking.

Using the cumulative data is less correct because other countries may have been accumulating infections/deaths for a longer time.

And then the wolves ate the lamb while he was sleeping. Their belly was full and they had new weapons.

It is your community, with the people, the laws, the institutions, that can assure, or not, your freedom. Not your weapons.

Those who can remove your freedom always have better weapons...

No. The biggest problem comes from lawsuits. If the school allows the kids to walk off the campus to go to their parent's car and has some kind of accident, the school could be sued and the answer is strict and stupid rules to CYA.

No "good intentions" here...

Well. Not quite... homeopathy would be a track with only the cracks and other noises and then you would imagine that the music is playing.

For the first hits (for me) it wasn't. But now is.

It's not very easy to find an alternative...

Yes! Putting 'positive' before is the answer!
I can't wait for the next 'positives':

- 'Positive vandalism'
- 'Positive burglary'
- 'Positive corruption'
Better: 'positive evil'! Yes...

That would be true only if you assume the passenger would drive if did not have the Uber ride. If someone instead of using an Uber car takes the metro, a bus, a train or uses a bicycle or walks then it is the case where Uber increases traffic.

Practically, Delphi and Free Pascal (with Lazarus being the IDE that uses Free Pascal as a compiler) have the majority of mind share in the Pascal World, and they are mostly compatible. A few years ago Delphi used the Free Pascal Compiler to target iOS. Of course, those who sell Delphi are not very keen to advertise the Open Source competitor...

Most criticisms come from people that are completely out of touch with the modern Pascal Compilers/IDEs. Just take a look at http://newpascal.org/assets/mo... to learn its current state.
