    This is not how infectious disease works. It is also the primary argument that the total charlatans have been using for over a yearpic.twitter.com/wRkJt37Tgm

        And the opposite argument has been used over a year by the zero covid charlatans to implement everlasting restrictions as public health policies.

        I wish these people would make up their minds. Finding more mild and asymptomatic cases makes the CFR converge to the IFR, strengthening their argument that Covid is less dangerous for kids than it may seem at first. But then, they aren't happy with finding these cases either.

        But they thrive on the *uncertainty*, and the general public’s inability to understand that nuance Cases are low - “no cases!” Cases are high - “testing too much!” Hospitalizations are high - “deaths are low!” Deaths are high - “all numbers going down!” Bad faith all around

        Speaking as a computer scientist: he is totally right. As long as the computer still works, you should just ignore those annoying warnings from your antivirus software.

        If you don’t want the annoying warnings, don’t install the antivirus software
