That's what happens when governments try to centrally plan their economies; they become bankrupt and corrupt. The government seeks ever more control over an increasingly restive population, and corruption reigns as the wealthiest power brokers consolidate ...

Thanks for the info. It's nice that Google is making it easier to gather data, but what you've done putting it all together is impressive.
I've mainly used the old fashioned method where you parse the html strings yourself (using mostly C# code). It's more flexible to do it that way, but more...

If you don't mind my asking, did you write all the screen scraping code yourself, or did you use some tools from the internet?

The media didn't really downplay HCQ, they attacked it with full force from the moment Trump mentioned it and well before there was any strong evidence one way or another. They even started by attacking the safety profile of one of the most studied and administered drugs ever. They suggested we co...

Good find. If that's an accurate representation of Covid-19 behavior, we could see a spike in southern hemisphere cases over the next few months. They may try to maintain lockdowns, but other than for a very brief period you just can't get enough cooperation to keep a large percentage from eventua...

Anything's possible, but I think it's likely that low levels of testing and diagnosis is hiding the true level of disease.

That's why it's difficult to compare numbers from state to state or country to country; different counting and reporting methods just about everywhere you look. Leaders in some European countries, like Italy and Belgium, have stated that their numbers wouldn't stand out if the rest of the EU used t...

The partisans will sit and argue all day about whose fault this is. Meanwhile the death and illness caused by continued lockdowns and social isolation will rise and accelerate.
Now we have a much better understand of the virus toll, and we're getting an good picture of the bigger problem that is...

There were four authors of the analysis, and it's less of an opinion piece than all of the propaganda put forth in favor of lockdowns without even acknowledging the cost in lives, much less attempting to quantify them.

Is this a new talking point; mandatory closures and stay at home orders didn't actually hurt the economy? I'll have to 100% disagree with that theory, some statistics from Sweden and Denmark notwithstanding. When the govt forces millions of businesses to close their doors and lay off all their emp...
