    Blog Musk Says Fremont Factory Has Started Production Despite County Order

    Not a productive attitude if you want to remain a manufacturing powerhouse, and I doubt that Elon Musk "wouldn't care" about a sizeable portion of its addressable market. In fact, the United States cared very much about what they thought in Europe after WWII, and even injected quite some funds...

    Coronavirus

    No, _some_ hospitals are. And in fact, you want *all* of them to be at last partially empty.

    Coronavirus

    The current distribution of patients over here has 15% under 15 and 25% between 50 and 65. Two points: -15% is not "essentially zero" (witness the general wailing and gnashing of teeth in the investors' thread when the stock price drops 15% ;-) ). -in the age bracket 50-65 a lot of people...

    Coronavirus

    Basing a hypothesis only on a "cui bono" argument without any other compelling evidence is the hallmark of a conspiracy theory. And by the way: from the evidence, a large number of people is sitting at home watching Fox News (including someone in a large white building in Washington, DC).

    No argument from me.

    Tesla en het Coronavirus

    De huidige R0 wordt in België door het model van de Universiteit Hasselt geschat op 0,79. Het is dus niet zo dat de bewegingsruimte om het onder 1 te houden nu zó groot is, al kan het inderdaad wel met een veel actievere economie. Voorbeelden genoeg van diverse verzamelingen aan maatregelen in...

    Tesla en het Coronavirus

    Fijne combinatie van "argumenteren door bewering" én "ad hominem". Ben je het lijstje van logische dorgeredeneringen aan het afvinken? Doe maar. Ik ben ermee klaar, want je Gish-galop in dit onderwerp is vrij hallucinant. Ik ga op dat vuurtje geen olie meer gooien, want gelukkig ben je (althans...

    Bronvermeldingen, graag? Want ik lees inderdaad wat experten daarover zeggen.

    Tesla en het Coronavirus

    Daar zijn nu eenmaal de virologen en epidemiologen experten, en niet RobsEV. Tenzij je de R0 dichtbij of onder 1 krijgt. Daar zijn we nu nog niet aan toe: nu zijn de maatregelen gekozen om R0 niet alleen onder 1 maar zo laag mogelijk te houden, omdat het aantal nieuwe hospitalisaties en doden...

    Tesla en het Coronavirus

    Dat doen ze niet. Ze zetten de tering naar de nering, en ze weten blijkbaar beter dan jij dat als je naar een situatie gaat waar de R0 (hoeveel mensen iemand besmet wanneer hij zelf besmettelijk is) terug naar of iets boven 1 komt te liggen, je dat beter doet bij een laag niveau aan...

    Coronavirus

    Uhm -- I thought pulse oximeters measured the oxygen saturation of your blood (granted, it measures the peripheral oxygen saturation rather than the arterial one), and hypoxemia was directly related to that. I thought hypoxia, on the other hand, when it was not being used indiscriminately --but...

    Coronavirus

    "If they say a test is crap" There are different levels of "crap". If you want to do random sampling of a population just to discover roughly how many people have been exposed to a virus in your population, then you need a less reliable test than when you want to determine who's guaranteed to...

    Coronavirus

    It depends. Often the way in which an infection will kill also depends on the particulars of the host group most affected (and comorbidities, of course). The Spanish flu was known to cause nasty cytokine storms, especially in younger individuals, so people ended up dead without suffering from...

    Coronavirus

    We came her for an argument, not for mere contradiction. Of course it's easy to be "more correct". Given *any* disease that could kill millions when left unchecked, it's a fair bet that people will try to mitigate the effects to limit the disease's spread. If that is successful at cutting down...

    Coronavirus

    There has been sampling of the "untested " population over here in Belgium -- the people with symptoms that heir general practitioner tells them "they should treat as if it were COVD-19" but don't get tested. Sampling reveals that an estimated 39% have the flu, 11% have SARS-CoV-2, and the...
