    I wrote a piece on the new coronavirus and why you probably don't need to panic just yet (suitable caution is the best way to go!)

    They put the absolute risks IN THE ABSTRACT and yet somehow the press release only uses relative figures UGH

    Anyway, if anyone needs some free steroids I know a dodgy lab overseas that is apparently giving them away

    So it's . I’m not in the mood for prosaic "mission statements”. Simply thinking of my friends and family devastated by the disease.

    Better question: " what's so awful about a show that uncritically represents total pseudoscience as well-evidenced treatments for the explicit purpose of scamming people out of their cash"

    The part where they use pseudoscience to sell expensive bullshit that helps with none of this That's the awful bit, glad to clarify 👍

    In case you missed it - my piece on the coronavirus, and why reasonable caution is both the best and most realistic way to go

    This is one of my favorite misleading relative risks for a while Eating vegetarian was associated with 2 fewer UTIs per decade for every ~1,000~ women That's...not a lot

    Just researched for evidence for each of the unani drugs suggested by the ministry. None of them, have any evidence in reducing virulence. Likewise, homeopathy has no evidence for curing any viral infections. With dangerous pandemics such as this is outrageous!

    (Above tweet should read (3.8-1)/3.8 = 74%, sorry about the typo)

    Oh, also if we took the R0 of 3.8 that's been the highest estimate for the coronavirus (and sprouted the infamous PANIC THERMONUCLEAR PANDEMIC tweet), the % vaccinated would have to be (3.8-1)/2.8 = 74% vaccinated to reach herd immunity

    P.S. you can also see populations reaching herd immunity if enough people catch a disease, but this has the disadvantage of lots of people getting sick which is why we vaccinate

    One thing that's really supporting the reasonable caution angle is the rate of increase in cases - it was exponential to start off with, but is now declining quite rapidly in China and across the world

    The real question is how long it'll take Boris et al to switch their narrative from "Brexit is brilliant" to "Brexit is terribly hard now but will be brilliant in 5-10 years"

    Everyone is chasing a wonderful happy Brexit that makes the UK great and strong, because that's exactly what Vote Leave sold them, but the reality is that it's an expensive and costly exercise regardless of your views on sovereignty and trade
