Will we know if we actually saved net lives in 20 years? That's what I keep thinking. If we just let it run its course it could have been over in a few months and we would have been back to normal.

History will tell.

It's probably easier to cure every type of Cancer than it is to cure obesity.
You're right. That's my fault, sorry about that.
> you can't cure a lot of health problems with exercise.

Now that has to be tongue and cheek.

Obviously it's a little tongue and cheek but I'm sure people get the point.
Sorry 84% of deaths. I'm also convinced if this virus happened in the 60's we would have way less deaths (per 100,000) even with the lack of medical advancements. People with a reasonable weight and exercised once a month were never in any danger. Sure there are outliers. Healthy people can have complications. That's with any virus though.
This research was conducted by people lacking way more brain cells than Joe Rogan. If you took 3rd grade science class and conducted this experiment it would have better results.
I've said this since the beginning. Instead of focusing on miracle drugs, vaccines, social distancing, governments should have just given everyone a Peloton or similar exercise bike. There would probably be zero deaths. Alas no one wants to put in work anymore, they just want a quick fix

I'm really tired of when someone groups all white people in the same category like we all have rich parents and only where we are because they paid off someone at a college. It's really offensive because I worked hard to get where I was at and had no help. It's like assuming all African Americans like rap and fried chicken. It's just really offensive.
Vietnam is full of skinny people therefore they were not hit hard. Although they have an obesity problem on the rise. This is a pandemic 30 years in the making. If we just addressed the obesity problem this wouldn't even be worse than the flu. I've been saying for the past year, if this hit in the 60's/70's it wouldn't have done anything.
Feels good to be saying the same thing for a year and finally get validated. Death rates have nothing to do with countries having a better response, better lockdowns, better mask wearing. It's literally who has the fattest people. The US is one of them. Asian countries not so much.
I'm really worried that will be "locked down" indefinite even when hospitalizations go down. I'm also worried that when an actually deadly virus hits our shores we'll be more hesitate to do lockdowns. So basically governments used their once in a 50 year lockdown on this. It mainly killed people that were fat (why the US had a higher mortality) and old. Except no one every said lose weight, exercise and get fresh air. What happens when Ebola hits us.

All the critical pieces are written in C. He's talked about it many, many times.

This. The quality of developers has gone down in the past 10 years and it's really hard to teach maintainable Javascript to developers. They just don't understand even delegation and how to do complex UI's in plain Javascript. Either way you wouldn't really want to because it just turns to crap. The frameworks have been great for companies.

Can the media just literally fucking stop. All they do is fear monger.

People need to stop reading these articles and start exercising. If this virus hit 40 years ago when hardly no one was obese this virus wouldn't even be a thing.
Has anyone done the numbers on Coronvirus hospitalizations and wood burning stoves?

Couldn't we have a project that generated .rbs files from comments?
This is just click bait to scare people.
