@sarahnadav True. Also won’t be a tech hub because Florida enforces non-competes, has a lame r&d tax credit, and actively discourages divergent thinkers from living in the state.
@DavidSacks So the “startup” nation (US) that just beat a superpower (Britain), didn’t re-engage said superpower a few years later… across the Atlantic? This might not be the analogy you’re looking for.
@kaitave_ @nkulw@tedlieu I’ll rephrase: it’s intellectually lazy to assert that Ted’s positions are based on the fact that LA has an Air Force base and has defense contractors. LA has everything.
@peterpham@karenvaites Maybe I came to the wrong thread to have a nuanced discussion about whether mortality rates between highly transmissible diseases and blunt force trauma injuries are comparable…
@JoeDeanOfficial @karenvaites@peterpham I’m sure you’ll forgive parents that are also weighing as yet unknown long term risks. Agreed that family members should be vaxed, (and hopefully not immuno-compromised?) but I’m not sure we have that level of vector control to be able to precisely dictate who we next infect.
@yokohub@karenvaites@peterpham That’s incorrect. The only way this graphic takes viral effect into account is if you equally weight the other age groups… which is precisely what the OP was not doing.
@peterpham Mean age for adverse events was 75, and 90% had a serious comorbidity. Falls were a big issue with this group. There was a rapid return to baseline health… insanity indeed.
@DM_Shirley Exactly right, the DE clapped. @CBSSports and @DanielsonCBS should’ve seen it and hopefully the UGA coaches did see it so it doesn’t happen again
