“He didn’t really believe. He thought the disease was a hoax. He thought he was young and he was invincible and wouldn’t get affected by the disease,” Dr. Appleby said.
Appleby said lately she has been hearing about Covid-19 parties.
“Someone will be diagnosed with the disease and they’ll have a party to invite their friends over to see if they can beat the disease,” Dr. Appleby said.
We need his medical profile. Lung issue? Heart disease? Diabetes? Obesity? Hypertension?
We use age as it correlates well with the probability of getting those chronic medical conditions. It doesn’t mean young is ok, it means young usually don’t have those conditions.
As a landlord you have to admit the government is in the business of picking winners and losers. Newsom has decided landlords are expendable. Our rights are lesser than tenants rights because they voted for him.
Let me know how you feel when your tenants stop paying rent.
Meanwhile protesters are encouraged and church goers demonized. Prisoners are let go and cops are hamstrung. Will not end well.
My good friend is a widow… living off rental income.
One tenant is not paying their $2500/rent because they are assholes.
She call the governors office daily begging for fairness. They don’t care and just extended the tenant freeby till 9/30…
The government is blurring the distinction between private property and public property, and even when making decisions on using the public property, government does not seem to comprehend its limits and bounds.
2x CA numbers with half the population of CA.
Ok time for Trump supporters to defy their leader.
White House has been busy saving the nation from the pandemic.
Nah, just kidding.
America Is Being Way Too Calm About Covid-19
German officials were outraged earlier this year after reports — never confirmed — that Trump tried to buy CureVac, a German company working on a vaccine, in order to get exclusive access.
For @harriet eyes only.
If these dilemmas are political dynamite, they may end up looking trivial next to what’s sure to be the biggest showdown: the standoff between scientific rationality and conspiracy theories.
We no longer believe in science 
Demonstrators from Germany to the U.S. have been spreading bizarre fantasies that Bill Gates, one of the world’s great philanthropists, conspired with “Big Pharma” to engineer SARS-CoV-2 so he could establish a global health dictatorship.
Only BG? Cloud companies led by MSFT and AMZN create the virus that need their cloud solution. You mean nobody is aware of this until now?
Above all, educating people to distinguish facts from fake news is effective only before they become exposed to, and infected by, conspiracy theories.
First thing first is to get rid of the king of conspiracy 
Why report something as news that cannot be confirmed?
Is this the quality of journalism coming from the house of a failed Presidential Candidate who spent a sum of 900 Million dollars and did not win even a respectable place in Democratic Primaries?
Things will get better, albeit slowly. But first they will get a lot worse in coming weeks.

“So far science is doing as well as our leaders are doing poorly.”
That’s the subtitle yet it doesn’t actually site a single example of leaders doing poorly. Yawn.
We were never in a dark tunnel in the first place. So, which light at the end of the tunnels the author is talking about?
The journalist is saying conspiracy theories are getting ludicrous. Yet people no longer believe in science but believe such conspiracy theory - proof is not necessary - just conjure anything you wish to believe - led by some1 who did that many times.
Science is not a word of God. Science means scientific methodology and scientific spirit. Which means that the person who presents something as a science carries a burden of proof of presenting the experiment, data, model, and methodology used. Else it is all garbage.
What you said is not wrong. But… modern society is a consequence of strong belief in science. We are moving away from it. Anyhoo, you get the wrong message from journalist, the message is the behavior to believe in unsubstantiated conspiracy theories - we are supposed to have moved from myths to science.
Modern society is a lazy society. It lacks ability to reason and ask questions. Scientific temperament does not mean blindly following University Professors or these “peer-reviewed” type essays. The scientific conclusions and assertions prove wrong when the experiments and conclusions are drawn on wrong or untested assumptions.
Let me summarize what corona virus is forcing us to think about:
Look like you are one of those who rather believe unsubstantiated conspiracy theories than science with occasional inherent error.
Science has more than occasional human error. Science has complete BS based on who’s funding the study. They also use “science” to pick political winners and losers. Just look at the whole climate risk “science”. They’re about as unscientific as it can get when it comes to assigning blame to industries and picking winners and losers. You can’t call something peer reviewed when the only peers you allow to review are all people who’s career depends on the same conclusion.
We should have real, unbiased research which is jointly funded by both view points. That’s the only way we will get actual science. Everything else is selective propaganda pretending to be science.
Come on man. You also don’t believe in what you’ve written.
