climate constant has been the hoax... how smart are old school wood cook stoves for freezing Texans right now...

Every mediocre strategist and state civil servant is now at the mercy of the fat tails. Like I said before, welcome to Extremistan mediocristans, all your bell curve assumptions have fat tail mismatches. All your fat tails are belong to us.

LOCALISM
The higher you go the more incompetence/reckelessness (with small exceptions). If this virus ever teaches anything, it is localism.

You
Your family
Your town
Your region/county/state
Federal Gov: CDC
The UN/@WHO

GME Not a single movement in Game Stop was an outlier, with a standard power law with tail index 1.8! Not a single one! See discussion in "Statistical Cons. of Fat Tails". "Markets move from squeeze to squeeze". Most squeezes are small. All self-similar.

DSL is amazingly reliable, but slow. My former director had worked at AT&T when they were trying to sunset DSL: raise monthly rates until people got off of it. Up until Sept 2020, I was paying $45/mo for 3Mbps cable, until I found out they had a 25Mbps for $25/mo plan. Now I find out there's a $10/mo plan!?

What about masks?@realDonaldTrump: "You can use a scarf—scarf would be very good. ... My feeling is if people want to do it theres certainly no harm to it. I would say do it.

Serious answer: "work" in this context means "reduce the probability of transmission".

Masks reduce the probability of transmission. Distancing by 6 feet (or preferably more) reduces the probability of transmission. Doing both reduces the probability of transmission EVEN MORE.

A Cambridge University study showed that lots of household materials are nearly as good as surgical masks, and you can use 2 layers of material to make them even better.

Why we should authorize immediately Dr Raoult’s HCQ+AZT treatment

In other words, the basic principle of the ethics of scientific decision-making in such a situation of asymmetric uncertainty is that it is not up to Professor Raoult to demonstrate the effectiveness of his treatment, since certain converging indicators suggest that it works, but on the contrary, it is up to those who refuse the application of the treatment to demonstrate that it is more dangerous than the absence of treatment.
