To be clear I'm not using those articles to suggest fish is not part of a healthy diet, only that the Inuit are not a particularly healthy population and not a good example of the "benefits" of eating mostly meat.

It should be noted that many Inuits have adopted parts of the western diet since the story I posted. It is very hard to do science on complex issues such as lifestyle factors, one has to be very careful with drawing strong conclusions. My argument is that we don’t know if too much saturated fat/fish/red meat is bad and we have some empirical anecdotes to indicate that it might not be as horrible as some scientists claim at least in some contexts. This does not imply that we know that it is good/not bad.To be clear I'm not using those articles to suggest fish is not part of a healthy diet, only that the Inuit are not a particularly healthy population and not a good example of the "benefits" of eating mostly meat.

That's why the historical data in the second article I posted is relevant.It should be noted that many Inuits have adopted parts of the western diet since the story I posted.
There's a thread already We must face facts - meat is the problem but it is in a different part of the forum, so the mods can't just move the posts to it, and I'm guessing @Right_Said_Fred doesn't want to create yet another thread here, since it has nothing to do with either investing or COVID.Can we have the dietetic conversation moved or deleted?

Usually after a few pages in a high volume thread such as this people forget about them, so removal or not isn't a big deal either way.Could the moderators do like a bulk move of all the posts that relate to dietary controversies into that thread? I agree it's a distraction from the covid-19 Focus.
PostScript. I see that that is not possible. Perhaps deletion then

Thinking about a road trip.
Looking for data about which states and counties currently have low infection rates.
Suggestions on websites ?
Starting out (leaving) that Covid capital GEORGIA.
Looks like Maine and Vermont would be safer.
Quarantine in your car for 2 weeks first.

Yeah, you kinda miss the point.
Like so many people here you think BINARY. It does, or does not help.
On topic, NY has slipped to #4 in total cases and #5 in cases per million. Mostly southern states climbing the rankings.

County maps could be helpful:Thank you.
Visited that site before.
Had not noticed that last column that shows projections.
Its perfect.
PS we do day trips. Eat in car (boxed lunch from home) and pee in woods.
Only human contact was police officer for speeding ticket.
EDIT: Might even risk staying in a motel in Vermont or Main.
Would need to sleep in my Tesla on the way up.
