@EggerDC @Coemannn Not directing snark at you, since your claim makes sense in context. But dang it’s weird that the truth-value of “someone hacking up a lung is more infectious than a not-sick person” is even on the table.

@johnnywey @tlberglund Docs should just show this meme in the menu area instead of showing me as a duplicate active-collaborator ;)

@moebio @MarkChangizi As someone who broadly shares Mark’s views, I honestly don’t think I could answer your question straight up. A big reason why: the way we look for and measure covid deaths is so different than for typical viruses, I don’t know how to compare apples-to-apples.

@Evolving_Moloch @Psycasm Nice :). Reminds me of the flavor of https://t.co/ISsDlHfQt5

@Psycasm @Evolving_Moloch (I say that with zero context about the movie)

[Dan Meyer @DanMeyer]

@Psycasm @Evolving_Moloch Google image search tells me the pic is from the Charlie Kaufman movie ‘Synecdoche, New York’; I’m guessing the quote is, too

@amasad @the_trq FWIW, @the_trq, I also do lots of liver, eggs, and (usually artificial) light - and *still* got hit super hard by the recent onset of cold weather (and daylight savings time) in ATX. So (among other things) am adding in supplemental vitamin D.

@HeywoodFloyd10 @sloppyjoehotdog @kittypurrzog What’s the vulvar equivalent of getting suckered into a timeshare?

[Dan Meyer @DanMeyer]

@ThadMichaels Suffice it to say, I don’t think that’s happened. Frankly, I see more care and rigor from folks rolling out software features than folks rolling out lockdowns (although the latter try to dress things up in terms of ‘stages’ tied to crap metrics)

[Dan Meyer @DanMeyer]

@ThadMichaels My crude view is: hey, you want to spend lots of taxpayer money and wield state violence to do something unprecedented? Then you damn well better show your cost-benefit analysis up front (even if it’s understandably rushed), *and* continue to update it based on new information.

@JulieBorowski Clearly Damon didn’t play enough GTA: San Andreas to appreciate the song reference ;)

@anonynaut @visakanv @kaschuta @spakhm Hmmm...that...actually might do the trick. Thanks :)

[Dan Meyer @DanMeyer]

@visakanv @kaschuta @spakhm Do you have one for “type I error” vs “type II error”? That one is so dumb I refuse to put effort into remembering (without a trick)

@Masticon @robertkaplinsky Did you mean @ddmeyer?

[Dan Meyer @DanMeyer]

@justin_hart And we know what happens when you kill Santa...

@ThadMichaels Charitably, maybe it’s “giving up on trying to bridge the inferential distance - but nonetheless attempting persuasion”? https://t.co/iwye7JRqlc

Mid-November in the northern hemisphere, near the windshield of the continent: cool and wet, nutrient rich detritus layering the ground.

It’s a fine time and place to be a salamander.

@dnunan79 @ThadMichaels Dang. That piece is so calm and well-structured. I feel like it’s easy to follow *and* easy to [disagree with, on precisely the points you disagree with]
