-- are the "architects and engineers" verified to be architects an engineers? or are they "Internet engineers" that would turn out not to be engineers if checked? -- comparing a petition from this group that formed around a multi-year effort to a petition from the general public that may have...

Now everyone in the room with him at the debate is going to have to self-isolate for a week, I think? Including Joe Biden.

First, please be aware that the words "there is no evidence" do not mean "It isn't true". They mean "we don't know for sure". It meant the same when the WHO said, in early January, "there is no evidence for human-to-human transmission". It didn't mean there wasn't any, it just means it hadn't...

Excess deaths is what you need to look at here. The biggest most obvious thought missing here is that the flu epidemic in 2017/18 went mostly unnoticed, we didn't have social isolation and hygiene measures heavily publicised and mandated. (We do know that these do inhibit the spread of the flu...

WASHINGTON — Of the flood of misinformation, conspiracy theories and falsehoods seeding the internet on the coronavirus, one common thread stands out: President Trump. That is the conclusion of researchers at Cornell University who analyzed 38 million articles about the pandemic in...

You do not have evidence that travel bans do anything (except very early on). You do not have evidence that mask use in the general population does a net good. You do not have evidence that what happened in China is different from what was reported. You do not have evidence that the WHO has...

I saw that, that's where I linked, I don't see anything about masks in that list.

I'm looking at the public guidance for face coverings at the CDC: Use of Cloth Face Coverings to Help Slow the Spread of COVID-19 About Cloth Face Coverings Wearing Cloth Face Coverings Recommendations Making Cloth Face Coverings Washing Cloth Face Coverings The first section has a link to...

I've seen two social media posts being shared that perfectly express some counterpoints here: The source has a short video clip of that. Knowing what we know about Anti-Vaxxers and other conspiracy theorists, the core issue isn't the science, but whom they are willing to trust. They're...

Where do they stand on seat belt laws? Do they think that the seat belt issue was decided on ideology, or on facts concerning safety and accident statistics?

Reopening is hard. A 49-year-old woman in our county died of Covid-19 (only the second death here), and they held an 80-person funeral with people from far and wide, including her close family members that were supposed to quarantine. Of course that's wholly against regulations, and I think...

More from the forum post that Oystein cites: The second calculation imagined that a number of the beams on one side of the building, equivalent to the wingspan of the plane, were "surgically removed". As if you just took a Sawzall & cut them out. Absolutely no other damage to any part of the...

We have official data from Germany on how many patients presented at emergency rooms compared to the same time last year (10 ERs with ~6000 patients weekly combined). Obviously the big jump downwards coincides with the public measures, and we're still at -15%. These data do not tell us what the...

I know that that's what you want, and there are reasons for that (many of which are related to the media landscape in the US, and it has been like this for a long time). The fact is, you said you *need* the police report on the car accident so your police insurance will pay out. I'm fairly sure...

Yes, but I didn't anticipate you questioning the source on that. I think it was the highest-ranked google hit that wasnt paywalled? Thank you for confirming.

14-day incidence of reported COVID-19 cases in selected countries, as of 18 June 2020 The page has more graphs covering all European countries.

I decided against including that because it contains no fact. The quote basically confirms that the "anecdotes" and interactions did happen, and the article does not provide actual statistics that disprove the point (e.g. that the hospital used the same amount of sedation in previous years...

Deirdre, you have related how it is currently done. You have not reasoned that "need a police report" or "need a police escort" are immutable requirements, and you have conceded in your post that even with the present system, the police are sometimes/often not needed in the situations you...

You're laughing, deirdre, but I'm serious. In my experience: a) I don't need to call the police for a fender bender, I have a simple accident report form in the glove compartment that I can fill out and that we both sign (it includes a carbon copy). If we can't agree on a report, I can call...

Do you have evidence for that?
